Crystal Palace ultras ‘Holmesdale Fanatics’ have made the decision to fold after 21 years, slamming the ‘unsustainable’ set up. They formed back in 2005 and grew famous after putting on displays that would be so rarely seen in English football, but more familiar across Europe. But on the 27th of August, they listed a number of reason as to why there are disbanding, attending games as individuals and not as a group. pic.twitter.com/wmNDsgJaVe — Holmesdale Fanatics (@ultrascpfc) August 27, 2026 They wrote in a statement: ‘For more than twenty years, the HF has stood on the Holmesdale and travelled across…
AN extremely simple statement – but it is always fair to say that goals win football matches. Therefore goal scorers are particularly sought after. And in this blog I analyse the possible leading marksmen listed in 2026/27 EFL League One odds. Will anyone match the excellent count of 23 League One goals delivered by Leyton Orient marksman Dom Ballard last season? A truly remarkable achievement when playing for a struggling team which eventually filled 20th spot thereby avoiding relegation by three points. Ballard has since secured a reported £5 million transfer to Championship outfit Bristol City. League One Top Scorer…
LOS ANGELES – Luka Plantic has waited for an opportunity to announce himself to the world since turning professional in 2018.The 2020 Olympian wasn’t handed the promotional backing afforded to many amateur standouts, instead working his way up the WBC rankings while fighting in small venues and on undercards across Europe.Now, the Croatian finally has his chance.Plantic will face Lester Martinez for the WBC interim super-middleweight title Saturday night at Los Angeles’ Galen Center, with victory potentially putting him within touching distance of a world title shot.“I feel very good and I’m very well prepared for this fight,” Plantic told…
Ollie Robinson took a sensational four for 11 in 13 overs as Pakistan collapsed to 110 all out in the second Test against England at Lord’s on Friday.But on a day when 13 wickets fell in total, England then slumped to 13 for two in their second innings on a pitch still offering significant seam movement.England, however, had recovered to 81 for three — an overall lead of 261 runs — when bad light forced an early close to the second day. The host is seeking an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series.Robinson was well-supported by fast bowler Jofra…
Jadon Sancho is still one of the most interesting transfer betting stories on the board, and the market has already narrowed around a familiar idea: a move abroad looks more likely than a Premier League stay. The winger, now 26, left Manchester United as a free agent after his contract expired in June 2026, and that status keeps the next-club market alive rather than settled. Borussia Dortmund and Germany remain the headline option Borussia Dortmund sit at the centre of most Sancho discussions because the club is already part of his football story. He made 158 appearances across two spells…
British heavyweight Moses Itauma pushed Filip Hrgovic off the stage before the Croat slapped him as chaos erupted at the weigh-in for Saturday’s world-title bout.The pair will fight for the vacant IBF heavyweight title at London’s O2 Arena, with Itauma bidding to become the second-youngest heavyweight champion in history.The 21-year-old had refused to engage with Hrgovic’s attempts to rile him during fight week but was in a fierce mood as the pair exchanged expletives during a charged face-off.As Hrgovic turned to pose for photographs, Itauma shoved him in the back, sending the 34-year-old off the stage.Hrgovic climbed back up, reached…
Pierre Sage bemoaned Crystal Palace’s “low energy” in their heavy defeat to Manchester City. The Eagles were thrashed 4-1 by Enzo Maresca’s side at Selhurst Park, with Rayan Cherki and Erling Haaland both scoring braces as City moved to the top of the table. Palace, meanwhile, are now rock bottom after two consecutive losses, with their only goal this season coming via the back of Gianluigi Donnarumma. Sage has seen one of his teams concede four goals in a game for only the second time in his managerial career, previously losing 4-1 with Lyon to Paris Saint-Germain in April 2024.…
Shoving an opponent from behind while their back is turned during a pose is cheap, but it shows Hrgovic managed to get under the young fighter’s skin during fight week. Itauma had tried to act unbothered by the talk, yet reacting like that on stage gave away his irritation. Hrgovic hopping right back up to slap him in the face made it clear he will not be bullied by a twenty-one-year-old prospect. Itauma might think it was funny at the weigh-in, but waking up an experienced heavyweight right before fight night usually comes with a receipt. We will see if…
United went to Hull and back last weekend… What an opening weekend to Premier League that was! There were shocks, surprises, and Spurs getting pumped – it’s everything you want to see from the biggest league in the worldAnd there’s a sweet, sweet 37 more of those Barclays-infused bad boys to come in the next nine months.I feel a bit dizzy just thinking about it.Though one man who has his feet planted firmly on the ground – and is ready to take a forward ball to feet or chest – is Peter Crouch, and he’s all set to give his…
It argues that its rules required Opetaia to bring the case in New Jersey, where the IBF is based. The organization also claims he went to court without completing its mandatory internal appeal process. Opetaia has until September 8 to respond. Those objections give the IBF a chance to attack the lawsuit without immediately defending the decision to remove Opetaia as cruiserweight champion. A ruling based on venue or internal appeal grounds would not establish that his accusations lack merit. He may be allowed to refile in New Jersey or complete the IBF appeal procedure before returning to court. A…
