Aye, I’m back! Bob Friendly here once again to pore over the talking points from the week in the Premier League. And what a week it has been! Leicester took another step closer to the league title after thrashing Swansea, followed up by Spurs drawing at home to West Brom. I was reading in the papers recently that you could have got odds of 5,000-1…


Aye, it’s me once again, Bob Friendly! The games are coming thick and fast as we reach the business end of the table. Who will win the league? Who will go crashing out with Villa? Here at Scottish Friendly, we of course care about the goalkeepers the most as they are the ones that help save us a bit of cash. People in the North…

Christiane wowed wide-eyed pupils with a real…

Aye, it’s me once again, Bob Friendly! Back from my holidays while the footie took a wee break, just in time for another thrilling weekend of Premier League football.
