The funeral cortege trundles slowly towards Doncaster Rovers' Belle Vue stadium. Joined by hundreds of mourners, the congregation approaches the grounds bearing wreaths, banners and handmade memorials in remembrance of the departed. It's the final day of the 1997/98 season and Doncaster are playing host to Colchester United. Only today's match is just a mere footnote to the real reason why many of the…

Preview and odds for Europa League clash All eyes will be on the Cardiff City Stadium tonight as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer takes charge of Manchester United for the first time.

Without a doubt, that Celtics against Bucks match-up is the one that stands out. Bucks @ Celtics Friday, 21 December, 01:00 After five wins in their last six games, the Bucks will arrive into this…

Much like every other Chelsea fan, when Arsenal under-perform it puts a smile on my face. Unsurprisingly, towards the end of Arsene Wenger’s tenure, I spent many a weekend a happy chap. I know I might get some push back, but during their ‘underwhelming’ seasons my hatred for the North London club faded because they became less of a threat. This season their resurgence under…

On the surface, both the Reel Talent and Stage 888 slots share lots of similarities. They even have the same number of reels and paylines. Both are very colourful and well detailed, feature-packed, accessible on both mobile devices and the desktops and are as innovative as they come. Accessing any of this duo is a sure ticket to paradise for any player! However, there…

For possession-obsessed top clubs, the search for the modern, high-aggression centre-back with a satin touch and the passing range of a cruise missile has become incessant. Many top teams are now intent on a level of technical skill whereby all players – and at a push the goalkeeper – could be capable of playing in central midfield, if asked. For the biggest, having a…

In the eternal circle that is the Premier League season, we have revolved back around to the January transfer window. Like a snake eating its own tail, football is doomed to repeat itself forever. So we must tolerate the return of gossip, speculation, transfer live blogs, warchests, raids, swoops, wantaway players and spending sprees. Given that Unai Emery has only had one transfer window…

There he stood in a corner of the ground, the Salford Warhol in a beanie hat. Paying tribute to the astonishing transformation of his home town club, Charlatans front man Tim Burgess chose Salford City’s Peninsula Stadium to push his Bands FC initiative, a funky project aimed at bringing together through the trading of badges and Panini-style cards the related communities of pop and…

A small, puffy weal of skin just under Brad Barritt’s left eye is the only outward sign of the ironmongery and embroidery that have mended the face of the Saracens captain. A crack in his cheekbone last season needed a metal plate inserted, and Barritt played a European quarter-final away to Leinster a few days later. Another fracture this season required another plate in…

Deciphering whether 2018 was a good or bad year for Real Madrid is difficult. On one hand, they claimed their third successive Champions League title, taking the club’s total number of European Cups to 13 – almost double the number of their nearest competitor, AC Milan (seven). And yet on the other hand, 2018 witnessed a dramatic unravelling of the club. On the face…

For all that links the two, there are many differences between Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, not just as players, but as people do. Of course, much of what we know about the character of the duo comes through the prism of public perception. It’s difficult to know what is real and what is merely brand image, but it’s fair to adjudge that Messi…

Ascot 1.50 – De Dollar Man The selection here is De Dollar Man who has been quite lightly campaigned over the last couple of seasons and showed an encouraging performance on his comeback at Newbury. He just needs to sharpen up his jumping a little but I’m sure softer ground is what he needs. It’s significant that his best run over hurdles (by some…
