Premier League Boxing Day Accumulator: New manager bounce in full flow at Old Trafford and St Mary’s It’s somewhat ironically the dawn of a new era at Old Trafford given those who have replaced Jose Mourinho are from a bygone era, a much happier time. There’s no denying that United fans have a lot to be festive about, even though many rival fans will argue ‘they…

Daklondike and Eden Du Houx I was really pleased with Daklondike winning the Tommy Whittle. David’s horses are running very well. It was a good couple of days for Caroline Tisdall as we won the Listed Bumper too at Ascot. Daklondike is an enigma but he was on his best behaviour on Saturday. It was a great performance from him as he isn’t the…

  3.05 Kempton – The King George Chase  – Thistlecrack and Native River Thistlecrack We are really pleased with Thistlecrack, in fact we couldn’t be happier with him. He’s doing work like he did two years ago, and is better than ever at home. He schooled well on Wednesday with Tom Scudamore. We now just hope that he can put it on the track…

Odds and review of the NBA action The NBA world was dominated by trade talk last week as each team begins to get a feel for where they need to make additions. Toronto Raptors still lead the way in the East, but did lose three of their five games last week. Denver Nuggets are one of the teams that netted a victory over the…

Latest odds and preview for Premier League match The final Premier League fixture before Christmas looks set to be a cracker as Everton welcome Tottenham Hotspur to Goodison Park. Marco Silva’s men may be on a poor run of form but their performances at least hint towards a difficult match for today’s visitors. Spurs, though, won’t fear anyone after 10 wins in their last…

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. The Red Devils legend has been handed the reins in a caretaker capacity, following Jose Mourinho’s sacking on Tuesday. By coincidence, his first match in charge of his beloved club is away at the…

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…

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…

Odds and preview for Premier League clash We could be in for an early Christmas cracker when Wolves host Liverpool tonight. The home side have held their own against the big teams this term. They beat Chelsea at Molineux earlier this month. And they’ve taken points off Manchester City, Arsenal and Manchester United too. Can they do it again against the league leaders? Tune…

The latest insight from the Tizzard stables King George VI – Thistlecrack and Native River Both horses are in lovely form. Tom Scudamore came down and schooled Thistlecrack on Wednesday and he jumped really nicely. It looks like the ground at Kempton is going to be genuinely good to soft which should play to his strengths. He came out of Haydock really well and…

Racing ambassador discusses his weekend rides Saturday – Haydock 12.25 – Go Long My first ride of the day is Go Long in the Novices’ Chase.  I wouldn’t have many rides for Evan Williams as he has plenty of good jockeys riding for him, so this is a nice one to pick up.  He’s only facing three rivals but on hurdles ratings he does…

It’s the final gameweek of Bundesliga football before the winter break kicks in and the headline act is on Friday night where leaders Dortmund host Borussia Monchengladbach. Our midweek acca was ruined by Borussia Dortmund failing to score a second goal at relegation-threatened Fortuna Dusseldorf — suffering a first defeat of the season in the process — but we’re looking to finish strongly with a perfect four-from-four. We’ll…

We’ve reached the penultimate week of the regular season. The playoff spots are beginning to get booked and the battle for the wild card spots is getting hotter and hotter. Last week we saw the three leading teams in the league struggle. The Chiefs and Rams lost whilst the Saints stumbled to a narrow victory over the Panthers. In the background the Bears and Steelers…

BVB lead the way going into Christmas Borussia Dortmund suffered their first defeat of the season at the hands of lowly Fortuna Dusseldorf in midweek. However, they’ve been in scintillating form under new manager Lucien Favre and still sit six points clear of their nearest challengers. Their next two games will go a long way to finding out if they are the real deal…
