Sporting Life Horse Racing

Tom Carnduff, Billy Lumsden and Aidan Smith sit down in their usual Thursday slot to talk all things Fantasy Football.

The average points haul is increasing, but nobody managed to break the 100-point mark this week. Still, it was a positive week all-round with plenty of action in the last round of Premier League games.

The international break brings a temporary halt to proceedings which gives us time to look at some potential transfers to consider before top-flight football returns next weekend.

Clinging to the hope that Cheltenham beats the weather on Saturday and Sunday, David Ord and Ben Linfoot preview the BetVictor Gold Cup and other feature races.

They are joined by Daryl Jacob to reflect on Fusil Raffle’s win at Wincanton and look ahead to his weekend rides while we hear from John Gosden and Pat Smullen at the Cartier Awards.

Gareth Jones, Paul Higham and Billy Lumsden review the battle for the Premier League title between Liverpool and Manchester City and THAT VAR decision. We ask if Liverpool have already sealed the title or who else could still catch them.
We then delve into the bottom of the table and debate which manager is for the chop next.

Ben Coley stands in as host as the Sporting Life team reveal their best weekend bets, including the Liverpool v Man City showdown and quality racing at Wincanton.

David Ord and Ben Linfoot are joined by Mark Howard, Fran Berry and Daryl Jacob for this week’s Racing Podcast.

They reflect on the 2019 Flat season, look ahead to the return of Fusil Raffles at Wincanton and reflect on a bumper week of key jumping action.

Tom Carnduff, Billy Lumsden and Aidan Smith sit down in their usual Thursday spot to discuss all things Sky Sports Fantasy Football.

Leicester continue to shine, and with a favourable fixture list coming up, is it worth loading in as many Leicester players as possible?

A case to be made for some Watford and Bournemouth players? What about Southampton? Hey, who knows, they might get some points.

Nicholas Pepe is once again a point of discussion with Aidan adamant he'll score some points this week, although with Liverpool taking on Manchester City, the points may come at Anfield.

We discuss all that and much more.

Tom Carnduff is joined by Sky Sports presenter David Prutton to discuss all of the latest from the Sky Bet Championship.

Stoke City decided to part company with their manager Nathan Jones as the Potters struggle at the bottom end of the division. Was it the right decision? Who will replace him? Prutton provides us with excellent insight into what it's like for a player when a managerial change is made, alongside some interesting stories from his playing days.

Nottingham Forest face Derby in the headline act of this weekend's fixture. Prutton, a former Forest player, recalls his experience playing in the East Midlands derby alongside telling us what a local derby is all about for a player.

There's all that and much more in the latest episode of the Sporting Life Championship podcast.

Tom Carnduff and George Pitts sit down to discuss a very eventful weekend in the Premier League.

Liverpool looked like they were heading for defeat at Aston Villa before striking late. The same can be said for Manchester City as they faced Southampton. The mark of champions? Well only one team can win it and both meet at Anfield next weekend.

Arsenal's problems continue with the future of Unai Emery unclear. Who will be their next boss if they choose to part ways? Jose Mourinho? Tom makes the case for Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder after the Blades moved up to sixth in the Premier League standings.

Yes, more VAR controversy in more than one game. Does the system need to change? The opinion has seemingly shifted to a largely negative one.

Tom Carnduff, Billy Lumsden and Aidan Smith sit down to talk all things Sky Sports Fantasy Football.

Hey, Leicester are quite good aren't they? Even better if you had a team full of Foxes players for that Friday hammering of Southampton.

We have eight, yes eight, fixtures in the Premier League on Saturday which leaves a captaincy dilemma. Do you go for a Liverpool player at Aston Villa? What about Manchester City with that visit of Southampton next? Or, do you look to Dale Stephens at Brighton?

We discuss all that and much more.
