The Four Horse Race

With Ronaldo back, Lukaku firing in goals and Salah joining the 100 club... Who's the favourite to win the golden boot this season? Kane wasn't even mentioned let alone players like Vardy, Ings, Son and all the other talented goalscorers in the league! Such a shame to see Harvey Elliot injured in such a horrific way, hopefully he's back as soon as possible and continues where he left off. Matt talks about Elephants and Ducks, its riviting stuff honest! Huge thanks to our partners Ruffneck scarves & The bgn fm for their continued support.

England Pole-Axed by Poland

England fail to make it 6 from 6 and the 100% record is gone in the WC qualifiers. Does this mean England wont qualify? No. Of course it doesn't, look at the state of the other teams... England do look good, they've dealt with plenty of abuse and a reality check in the sense that there's no home support which we needed to see this England side go through after the Euros being played mainly at home. Health officials storm Brazil v Argentina, what will be next? Linagrd becomes J-Lingaldo, it's a full force transition. Huge thanks to both Ruffneck Scarves and the BGN for their continued support.

29/06/2021 - The Beautiful Game

ENGLAND BEAT THE GERMANS! We've passed a huge milestone in English football, competing with the best teams out there and putting many demons to bed in the process. We were treated to Croatia v Spain, a thrilling 3-5 encounter and who thought it could be topped? No one.. France: Hold my beer. That's right, the Swiss beat France on penalties meaning the world champions are OUT. The European champions are OUT. The Germans are OUT. ITS COMING HOME!!!

24/06/2021 - The Old Enemy

After topping the group, England we're awaiting their opponent and it could've been literally any one of the 4 teams in group F at all stages of the 90-minute fixtures. But we eventually ended up with Germany as our opponents, the side we haven't always had the best of luck against but with how both sides have performed, it could be anyones!  Wales are to face Denmark, could they go on another run like in the 2016 Euros? Are Italy going to go the distance and lift the trophy? Kane on the move to Manchester? Sancho heading in the same direction but donning a red shirt? Is Ben White a good move for Arsenal? Huge thanks to both Ruffneck Scarves & The BGN FN for their continued support.

14/06/2021 - King Kalvin?

ENGLAND WON THEIR FIRST EURO'S OPENER! Kalvin Phillips is on the brink of earning a FF Knighthood joining the likes of Lord Loftus, Sir Harry & Sir Harry 2.0. He was sensational against Croatia and I'm sure has cast a lot of doubters wrong about his potential status in the squad. Sterling bags a goal in his own backyard (Literally)  It's a must-win coming up for Wales against Turkey or it means they have to beat a very strong looking Italy side, which will be an uphill battle. Scotland miss out on a perfect return to international finals by losing 0-2 to Czech Republic, what a superb goal from Schick! Huge thanks to both Ruffneck Scarves and The BGN FN for their continued support.

25/05/2021 - Prediction Review!

This week we take a look back to the beginning of the season where we made our season predictions, as always, it's head to head between James & Matt. Who got more right? Did James actually have Hull to win League one? Did Matt correctly predict Wolves to finish 13th!? Surely not!  It's also England squad announcement time! Well, it should be but Gareth has bottled it and named basically every English player in the league. So we compare our squads to see if we should be next in line to tame the three lions! Huge thanks to both Ruffneck Scarves & The BGN FN for their continued support.

Leicester win the FA Cup and the moments shared with Aiyawatt 'Top' Srivaddhanaprabha is something the big clubs should seriously look at.

Leeds thrash Burnley West Ham fail to pass Brighton Steve Bruce wins Manager of the month!  Huge thanks to both Ruffneck Scarves and the BGN fn for their continued support.

19/04/2021 - European Super Shits

Its a sad day for football fans, we suffer far too much to support clubs and players we grew up loving and idolising. The powerhouses of football, the money grabbers and the snakes are all shedding their skins and showing their ultimate deception, they want to control the sport we all know and love and make their own rules that benefit them. People that are speculating that his has just begun talks, lets take a look at the 12 EUFA board members from these clubs that have all resigned. WHY? Because they've had a better offer, they've gone behind everyone's backs to build this plan, this idea to stab the people that feed them. Its time to stand together as fans and supporters and voice our opinions, let them know they're killing the game with their greed.
