Christmas could be a modicum more merry for many – try saying that after a few sherries – this year. With inflation practically at zero and wage rises officially in excess of price rises, in theory most of us should have a few more pounds in our wallets and purses. And with fuel prices – a key driver behind the low inflation rate – continuing…


Ho, ho, ho! Merry Christmas one and all. This is truly the most wonderful time of the year, and we have had quite a few presents so far. Our shots on target league, which you can view below, shows just how crucial some of the goalkeepers have been this season, and it may just highlight who will be hot property when the January sales, sorry…


So Jose Mourinho won’t be rocking under the Christmas tree, but he can look forward to the festive season without having to worry about a Boxing Day fixture. And with the payoff he will be getting, he will have plenty to stick away in savings – an important lesson for all! With Jose now looking for a job, maybe we don’t need the transfer window…


Flying saves, point blank stops, keeping a team in a game against much better opposition. Goalkeepers are crucial to a team, a wee bit under-appreciated in my opinion. They make save after save after save and yet get next to no credit. We thought we’d take a look at what the Premier League would like if the savers didn’t exist. As our table below shows…


Christmas is fast approaching, which gets me a wee bit excited about one thing – transfer rumours! But while there’s been speculation about one of our favourite keepers, Jack Butland, moving to Liverpool, there’s not been much chat of keeper moves yet. However, outside of the saving space, we are getting some great gossip on the terraces. Neymar to Manchester United, Ibrahimović to Chelsea, soon…


Aye! It’s me once again, Bob Friendly. December is here, Christmas is on its way. This only means one thing – I’ll be watching a lot of football! Not only do we get presents, but the festive period always brings a massive fixture pile-up. Great for fans like, not so much for the players. Aye, I think this Christmas could be a corker the way…


I don’t think any of us ever thought we could enjoy the life of Riley in retirement if we had to live off the state pension. Just how grim the UK state pension is has come in a report from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). Its report shows the UK’s state pension is one of the least generous in the world and…


As mentioned in my previous blog, The Chancellor of the Exchequer, George Osborne, delivered his Autumn Statement and Spending Review last week; a mid-year assessment of the UK economy and the Government’s strategy on future economic policy. His speech outlined some welcome news to many, particularly, his U-turn on tax credits, which will have been met with relief by the thousands of families who would…


Christmas is almost upon us once more. So to get into the spirit of the season, Scottish Friendly is giving away a different prize every day from December 1st-24th. Take out a policy with us to be entered into the prize draw taking place on the day that you apply. You can keep track of the promotion and get sneak peaks of prizes by visiting…
