FRANKIE’S FRIDAY FANCY (2) – GET ON THE CITIES

After a terrifc start last week, lets hope we can keep it going by adding even more winners this week, in what I think can be a very profitable series of games. There are two stand out picks for me this week. The first comes in the Monaghan United v Cork City game. Monaghan boss [...]

Frankie’s Friday Fancy (1) – Smart money on the draw at Dalymount

Not any easy gameweek to start off on with several close games taking place but I’ve done my utmost to try and dig out some winners to start off on. Every Friday, I will have 5 points to play around with and I’m looking forward to, please god, making us all a bit of cash. [...]

League of Ireland focus: The story so far

We’re almost halfway through this 2011 League of Ireland season and it is crazy to think that only six points separates 1st from 7th place. Shamrock Rovers, the bookies’ pre-season favourites, currently lead the way on 31 points but the Hoops haven’t had it all their own way so far. Bray Wanderers have beaten the [...]

World Cup Day 13 – England set to tackle the Germans once again

After the weeks of worrying and rumours of divisions in the camp, England have finally made it through to the last 16, finishing runners-up to the USA. Finishing in second may prove to be of huge significance to Fabio Capello’s men as they must now take on the dreaded Germans. Group C went right down [...]

World Cup Words of Wisdom – Number 1

Fabio Capello made some peculiar decisions tonight as England could only manage a 1-1 draw with the United States of America in Rustenburg. Robert Green, who unexpectedly started the game ahead of David James, committed a major howler in the 40th minute, allowing Clint Dempsey’s strike from 30-yards to spill from his grasp and into [...]

Well Done Wayne Bridge

Fair play to Wayne Bridge. In yesterday’s Chelsea vs Manchester City game at Stamford Bridge, Wayne Bridge refused to shake former friend and team mate John Terry’s hand – and so he should have. With every pair of eyes in the stadium and indeed those watching around the world glued to the pre-match handshake, Bridge [...]

All Things Football #12

Well same old story for Arsenal, another bitter loss, another pre-match bout of cocky talk that has backfired and another reason to show that the current crop of Arsenal players are a deluded bunch who are so engrossed with their “brand” of football . Don’t get me wrong Arsenal have some talented players, players who [...]
