Thankfully, like Harry Redknapp winding down a car door window, we are prepared for all your questions. So, scroll down, and prepare yourself for a window full of panic buys and […]

I’d like to start with an apology. I was away in Gameweek 21, leaving you in the hands of i Sports News Editor – Evan Bartlett: an FPL manager not even in the top-300 of the i sport readers league. This will not happen again. In order to reconcile I would like to offer the following surefire […]

ST JAMES’ PARK, NEWCASTLE — And so the Ole Gunnar Solskjaer red revival rolls on. Four games, four wins and for the first time, a clean sheet to go with it.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer became just the second Manchester United manager to win his first four games in charge as his side defeated Newcastle.

New year, same old Spurs. Should they ever get that fancy new gaf finished on the Tottenham High Road, Spurs might be onto something. The 45 points registered in 2018 were the most of any Premier League team on the road. Few came easier than the three with which they began 2019. Whether the Wolves […]

It took only 26 minutes for Tottenham‘s Son Heung-min to ripple Cardiff‘s net for the third time, suspending any doubt over the outcome of Spurs’ first Premier League away day of 2019. While much has been made of the lack of squad depth available to Mauricio Pochettino, Spurs looked sharp and well-oiled in dismantling the Bluebirds […]

Marcus Rashford enjoyed a barnstorming performance against Bournemouth on Sunday evening, providing a fantastic assist for Paul Pogba to open the scoring, before prodding home a close-range finish himself in Manchester United’s 4-1 win. Replaced by Romelu Lukaku in the 70th minute at Old Trafford, the England international headed straight down the tunnel. Despite not […]
