You’ll need to scroll down. A lot. Past the Scottish League Cup. Past the FA Cup Third Qualifying Round. Past theContinue reading “Why You Should Watch TNS vs Connah’s Quay”

England 3 – 0 Wales Review
As soon as this game was announced, I could barely contain my indifference. It’s not that I’m scared of playing England, it just doesn’t excite me. I don’t worry about losing, I’m Welsh, I’m used to it. To paraphrase Bane, I didn’t taste an international tournament until I was already a man. I’m not evenContinue reading “England 3 – 0 Wales Review”
Cymru Premier Week 8 Preview
Seven games into the Cymru Premier season and I think it’s about time that I resurrected my weekly predictions blog, which all went to pot last year with that old Covid-19 chestnut. Last term, I restricted myself to just trying to predict the outcome of the game and steered well clear of taking a popContinue reading “Cymru Premier Week 8 Preview”
Liam vs Lawro: New Years Day Fixtures
Happy New Year! Almost. We have another full Premier League fixtures list on January 1st. That’s three editions of Liam vs Lawro in just six days. Jose is right. Subjecting pundits to this frequency of football is inhuman. Anyway, mustn’t bitch, I’ll have a week off with the FA Cup next weekend. After two weeks,Continue reading “Liam vs Lawro: New Years Day Fixtures”
Liam vs Lawro: 28-29th December 2019 Results
This is the second week I’ve taken on BBC Sports’ Mark Lawrenson, trying to predict the scores from the week’s Premier League programme. In week one, Lawro beat me 50-30 (you get 40 points for a correct scoreline and 10 points for a correct outcome). How would I fair in week two? Brighton and HoveContinue reading “Liam vs Lawro: 28-29th December 2019 Results”
Liam vs Lawro: 28-29th December 2019
On to game day two of my weekly quest to take on BBC Sport’s Mark Lawrenson with Premier League predictions. Lawro just edged in 50-30 last week (https://couchpotatoscorner.sport.blog/2019/12/28/liam-vs-lawro-boxing-day-results/) and I’m kicking myself with a couple of my predictions. Let’s see if I can go one better this time out. As always, you get 40 pointsContinue reading “Liam vs Lawro: 28-29th December 2019”
Liam vs Lawro: Boxing Day Results
So, how did I get on in my first week against the Mighty Mark Lawrenson? I’m in a bit of a rush today as I got home late last night from being away and I have just a couple of hours to decide how I think this afternoon’s fixtures are going to go, write upContinue reading “Liam vs Lawro: Boxing Day Results”
Liam vs Lawro: Boxing Day Fixtures
So, as a Swansea fan, I’ve got a love/hate relationship with Mark Lawrenson. Just minus the love. He would NEVER tip us to win any games in his weekly predictions column and, for a few years, we showed him. Sure, the last season he was right more than he was wrong but hey! I’ve decidedContinue reading “Liam vs Lawro: Boxing Day Fixtures”
