Bet I'm not alone in hoping Gareth Southgate takes a gamble on England's wonder kid Ryan Sessegnon. The left-footed Fulham star, who is the summer transfer target of the world's top clubs including City AND [...]
Grand National Day is simply my favourite day of the year. It's what makes the sporting landscape in this country the envy of the world. For Betfred, it is the busiest day of the year [...]
Alright, City losing at Anfield in the Champions League was always on the cards in a two-legged tie. But the scale of the defeat against a Liverpool team who simply wanted it more was hard to [...]
If Steve Price thought he had a tough job taking over at Warrington he knows for certain now! The star names need to up their game if the Wolves are to get anywhere near silverware [...]
Normally with yet another international break I would be feeling a bit grumpy this weekend - but not this time! With no Premier League action the Betfred Super League Grand Final at Old Trafford takes [...]
England have such an easy world cup qualifying group - and it is certainly no barometer of eventual success that we are leaders and unbeaten after five games ahead of today's Battle of Britain clash [...]
United boss Jose Mourinho and his players got it exactly right after winning the Europa League on Thursday, despite it being almost impossible not to keep reflecting on the terrorist atrocity back home in Manchester. [...]
I'M rubbing my hands with glee at the prospect of this weekend's FA Cup semi-finals. They shouldn't be played at Wembley because as a traditionalist I firmly believe our fine national stadium should only be [...]
Ask anyone if they ever have a bet and the answer is usually always the same: "Yes, once a year on the Grand National." It is the most famous race in the world - and [...]
I just couldn't believe Manchester City throwing away a two-goal lead to go out of the Champions League. Boss Pep Guardiola gambled in Monte Carlo and ended up a loser with that creaking defence letting [...]
City get the next round of the FA Cup underway tonight - and my plea to boss Pep Guardiola is to do as he says and not chop and change his starting line-up. Obviously with [...]
Sergio Agüero is back from suspension - but Liverpool are still favourites in the cracker we've all been waiting for at Anfield tomorrow. A draw is no use to either City or Jurgen Klopp's vastly [...]

It's Christmas time and honestly I'm trying desperately to be merry. Don't feel too sorry for me (I know you won't) but I am struggling with the last two rounds of Premier League matches, virtually [...]
