The Premier League returns with some new old faces

Although it never really goes away, the Premier League returns to action today (Saturday 17 August) as the new season kicks off with the lunchtime fixture between Liverpool and Stoke City.

Notwithstanding the summer's intriguing - some would say tedious - ongoing transfer business, the top division will have a new look; not just via BT Sport's shared coverage with Sky but with new faces at the helm of last seaon's top three clubs.

David Moyes steps into Sir Alex Ferguson's shoes - a daunting task, but one the former Everton manager will relish. Manchester United have yet to...

Exeter City to work hard for a win on ‘Brazil Day’ match against AFC Wimbledon

For all the carnival-type festivities that are going along with Exeter City’s ‘Brazil Day’ match against AFC Wimbledon this weekend, it’ll be important to not detract from the small matter of three points at stake.

Both teams enter with an identical record in the opening exchanges – a win and a draw apiece to begin the Sky Bet League 2 campaign, and a proverbial ‘early bath’ from the Capital One Cup.

If the fixture is anything like the last encounter between the Grecians and the Dons, then it won’t be for the faint-hearted. A 2-2 draw at Kingsmeadow back in April – which...

It represents the first of three warm-up clashes for the Devon club - Bristol and Glasgow Warriors follow over the next two weeks – before they engage in their fourth season of Aviva Premiership action at Northampton Saints on Saturday,...

Continued improvement from the Spitfires

The Exeter Spitfires have continued to improve as their inaugural season in the South West Baseball League is approaching the finish. The Spitfires took on the Torbay Barons for a double header recently at Chadwick Field. The Spitfires, behind good pitching and some excellent hitting, including the first home runs for the club, managed to win both games.

In a back and forth battle in the opening game the Spitfires eventually came through 23-18 winners. In game two, after initially allowing the Barons to jump into an 8-0 lead, the Spitfires fought back strongly for a convincing 29-...

Lambert's dream goal gives England victory against Scotland

England 3

Walcott 29, Welbeck 53, Lambert 70

Scotland 2

Morrison 11, Miller 49

A goal on debut is special. A goal with your first touch on debut is extra special. When it's your international debut for England against Scotland, at the age of 31, having played only one season in the Premier League, it's the stuff of dreams.

So it was that Rickie Lambert came off the bench to score England's winner in the first encounter between England and Scotland since 1999. A terrific header from a Leighton Baines cross ended Scotland's sterling effort against...
