Middlesbrough 1-1 Bristol City: Robins snatch late draw

By Total Football News

This could potentially prove to be a damaging day for Middlesbrough’s automatic promotion bid.

Hellberg’s men have now taken just three points from home games against Oxford United, Leicester, Charlton and Bristol City, as anxiety

Snoop Dogg’s surreal Swansea visit heralds late drama in Preston draw

By Total Football News

Preston had only brought around 200 fans for what was a sell-out. With tickets in the away end sold to Swansea supporters, this was a record number of home fans at a game in this stadium.

Yet the away fans were loudest during a first half in which their team led to puncture the party atmosphere.

And the Red Dragons went ahead on 34 minutes as Doyle’s cross struck George Tanner before falling into the path of Rathbone who instinctively lashed into the net from 10 yards out.

Following his side’s lacklustre showing in the opening 45, Gerhard Struber sent

Watford disappointed by late Hull City postponement

By Total Football News

Watford have insisted they did not agree with the decision to postpone Sunday’s Championship game at Hull City.

“The decision to postpone the fixture so close to kick-off is regrettable and we fully share the frustration of our supporters,” Watford said in a statement.
