The football blog for fans of all clubs
Sheffield Wednesday have been around long enough to have a songbook the size of a small church hymn book. Founded in 1867, the Owls are regularly billed as the third-oldest professional football club in the world and boast a fanbase with that much mileage on the clock that it has had plenty of time to […]
Bernardo Silva etched his name into the record books as Manchester City’s 3-0 win over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge became the backdrop for one of the most quietly remarkable individual milestones in recent Premier League memory. The moment Silva stepped onto the pitch, he became the Portuguese player with the most appearances in the competition’s […]
The 2026 FIFA World Cup is shaping up to be one of the most accessible and engaging tournaments in football history. With matches taking place across the United States, Canada, and Mexico, supporters have more opportunities than ever to participate in the excitement. From packed stadiums and bustling fan zones to streaming platforms and social […]
It is probably fair to say that Blackburn Rovers isn’t the club that it once was. There was a time when the Rovers were Premier League champions, the pride of Lancashire, bankrolled by the late Jack Walker’s fortune and seeing supporters turn up in their droves to Ewood Park on a regular basis. Sadly for […]
It is probably fair to say that Charlton Athletic isn’t the club that it once was. There was a time when the Addicks were a Premier League team, taking the fight to other sides in the English top-flight and welcoming others to the Valley for matches in front of the vociferous home support. They haven’t […]
There can be few clubs in world football whose list of famous supporters has changed quite so dramatically in such a short space of time as Wrexham. Founded in 1864, the Red Dragons are the oldest club in Wales and one of the oldest professional football clubs anywhere, with the Racecourse Ground recognised as the […]
On Tuesday night, in a corner of the south coast of England, Junior Kroupi scored for Bournemouth and a 22-year wait ended in north London. Manchester City could not find a winner. Erling Haaland’s stoppage-time equaliser arrived too late. The maths flipped, the title race closed with a game to spare, and Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal […]
The 2026 FIFA World Cup is drawing closer, with anticipation building around a tournament that will span 16 cities across the United States, Canada, and Mexico, while also introducing the largest format in World Cup history, with 48 participating nations for the first time. Preparation has entered a crucial phase as national teams refine tactics, […]
Following football in 2026 means navigating a fragmented broadcast landscape that would baffle anyone who grew up with the match on one channel on a Saturday afternoon. Between Sky Sports, TNT Sports, Amazon Prime, and a growing list of international alternatives, the cost of watching your club across all competitions has quietly become a serious […]
If you were to think of a football club that is known for its vociferous atmosphere, the truth of the matter is that you might not have Portsmouth all that high up your list. Whilst the football club’s own supporters would doubtless be quick to tell you that they always get behind their team and […]
Lincoln City have already won the League 1 title and have gained automatic promotion to the Championship, sitting on 100 points with nine clear of Cardiff City and 15 ahead of third-placed Bolton Wanderers. Cardiff, on 91 points, will join the Imps, but the real question now is who fills that coveted third spot through […]
Newcastle United isn’t just a football club; it’s a cultural anchor for the North East of England. Its black-and-white stripes have inspired fierce loyalty across generations, uniting people from all walks of life. From global music icons to politicians and TV personalities, many famous faces proudly declare their allegiance to the Magpies. With insight from […]
After what has been an exciting campaign in this season’s elite European club competition, we’re down to just four clubs, with holders PSG set to play Bayern Munich, while Arsenal are set to face Atletico Madrid in what will be two great semi-final encounters! Probably at least two clubs who, if you’d have had to […]
Scoring in a World Cup final is something any player dreams of, but scoring the goal that wins it is something else entirely. A handful of players have managed it across the tournament’s history, and with the next edition already generating serious interest among punters on platforms like Betdaq, the debate over who belongs on […]
The beauty of sports is that you never know how a game might turn. There are favorites on paper, but then there are winners on the field. One doesn’t necessarily guarantee the other and the history books are littered by examples of high powered teams that crumbled when it mattered most, or rags to riches stories about overachievers that nobody saw […]
It is a curious thing when it comes to discussing famous Manchester City fans, insomuch as the club only really began to enjoy success after the takeover by Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan and the Abu Dhabi United Group in the September of 2008. As a result, older supporters obviously didn’t choose to follow […]
The 2026 FIFA World Cup runs from 11 June to 19 July across the United States, Canada, and Mexico, and for the first time, 48 teams will be competing across 12 groups. The top two from each group progress alongside the eight best third-placed sides. Before diving into the World Cup odds, it helps to […]
The reality of London clubs is that they are always more likely to pick up supporters than those based outside of the capital, simply on account of the fact that they are easy to discover and more simple to attend the matches of than those further afield. In the case of Chelsea, the club’s success […]
Sheffield is one of those cities, like Liverpool, Manchester and others, that has two teams that have extremely loyal followers. The fact that there is a local rival based so nearby also means that there is a ready-made target for any and all abuse that supporters might want to aim somewhere. The working-class nature of […]
The best thing about the Premier League is that it occasionally refuses to be decided until the last possible moment. Not the last week, the last day. The last minutes. Sometimes the last seconds. When the title goes to the final matchday, every ground in the country becomes part of the same story, and football […]
