Schoey extends his Tipple League lead to 41 points as the chasing pack scrap for pride. Gameweek 9 saw mixed fortunes across the board, but the focus now shifts to a tricky Gameweek 10 featuring one of the toughest Big Bets yet.

League One delivers a heavyweight clash as Cardiff City travel to Bolton Wanderers in a battle of promotion hopefuls. With both sides in strong form and boasting prolific attackers, Saturday’s early kick-off promises goals, drama, and a defining moment in the League One title race.

Chris Davies’ Blues continue to find life back in the Championship more difficult than they had imagined in pre-season, whereas their opposition, Hull City, are enjoying a fantastic start to the campaign after flirting with relegation last time out. The home side suffered their fourth consecutive game without a victory in a chaotic 3-2 defeat that saw a Jack Robinson own goal, a sending-off for dissent, a goal for Jay Stansfield, a stoppage-time Hull header, and a massive officiating blunder where the referee booked the wrong player. While the drama was excellent, for Birmingham, questions will now be asked of Davies and his high-profile squad, while Hull can bask in an unexpected position in the thick of the play-off race.

After a dull international break, Tipple and TWITS Picks return for Gameweek 9 with a full slate of tough fixtures and bold predictions. Kieran aims to close the 30-point gap to Schoey, while Will looks to build on recent momentum. From Cambridge v Bromley as the week’s risky Big Bet to battles like Burnley v Leeds and Birmingham v Hull, it’s shaping up to be one of the trickiest weeks yet.

The twists and turns of a dramatic international break are over and it’s back to business as usual here at Tipple - this week the Big Bet focuses on the battle for the play-off spaces in the fourth tier as Bromley travel to Cambridge in this Saturday’s early kick-off. League Two is proving itself to be the demanding and exhausting test we all know it can be, and that’s why we love it. Cambridge are hoping for an immediate return to League One while their opponents are looking to build on their historic rise as they entered the Football League for the first time last season, both teams have it all to play for. Will the hosts finally show what they're made of or will the visitors pull out another memorable result on their incredible rise from non-league?

No fixtures this week due to International Break and FA Cup. Tipple returns for Gameweek 9 next week.

Grimsby Town’s electric form continues as they climb into League Two’s automatic promotion spots with a clinical 2-0 win away at Salford. Goals from Evan Khouri and Charles Vernam sealed the points for the Mariners, whose sharp attack and solid defence proved too much for Karl Robinson’s men.

We all had close calls with ACCA’s in GW7, but none came to fruition. In this edition of TWITS picks we look back at our performance last week, and preview our picks for Gameweek 8.

We reveal the September Player of the Month and run through their weekly picks.

Ipswich and Norwich renew one of the fiercest rivalries in the EFL this weekend in the East Anglian Derby. With both clubs struggling for consistency, bragging rights in East Anglia could prove the spark to ignite their seasons. Can Ipswich finally end a 14-game winless run against their rivals, or will Josh Sargent and the Canaries extend their dominance?

Sheffield United finally picked up their first league points of the season with a hard-fought 1-0 win at Oxford United. Callum O’Hare’s decisive strike gave Chris Wilder’s side a much-needed boost, while Oxford will feel frustrated after dominating large parts of the match but failing to find a breakthrough.

A dramatic finish in GW6 saw all one TWIT dodge disaster and all 3 land double-digit points for the first time this season. Now attention turns to GW7, with Coventry vs Birmingham taking centre stage as the Big Bet, and all of us backing the same side. Will that unity bring points… or pain?

The Tipple Big Bet heads to the Championship this weekend as Coventry host Birmingham in a fierce West Midlands clash. Both sides are level on points but need to prove they can turn solid starts into promotion form. Goals, pressure, and bragging rights are all on the line in Saturday’s early kick-off.

Bolton Wanderers ended a decade-long hoodoo with a thumping 4-1 win over Wigan Athletic, their first home derby victory since 2015. Thierry Gale, Marcus Forss, and Mason Burstow fired the Trotters into dreamland before half-time, as Steven Schumacher’s rebuilt side put down a serious marker in League One.

The TWITS league table is heating up. Kieran finally bagged a double-digit score with 14 points, putting pressure on Schoey (10 points) and leaving Will (5 points) with ground to make up. A week of derbies delivered drama, late goals, and plenty of banter in the group chat. Now, with Gameweek 6 packed with title clashes and high-risk picks, the lads reveal their predictions - from Arsenal vs Man City in the Big Bet to crunch ties across the EFL. Can anyone close the gap at the top?

Tipple Gameweek 6 is dominated by title six-pointers across the leagues. Cardiff vs Bradford (1st vs 2nd in League One), Salford vs Swindon (3rd vs 1st in League Two), and Arsenal vs Manchester City in the Premier League Big Bet headline a stacked weekend. From scraps like Burnley vs Forest to cagey mid-table duels such as Fulham vs Brentford, it’s a round packed with tension, form swings, and unpredictable results.

Wrexham’s tough start to life back in the Championship continued with a 3-1 home defeat to QPR at the Racecourse. Despite a Kieffer Moore header giving the Dragons hope after falling two goals behind, sloppy defending and QPR’s clinical finishing proved decisive.

A controversial late penalty cost us big points in the Lower League Special, but now attention turns to Gameweek 5 – and it’s packed with derbies. From Charlton vs Millwall in South London to the Manchester clash at the Etihad, here’s how Kieran, Schoey and Will are making their TWITS picks.

The South London Derby returns after five years, with Charlton looking to end a 29-year winless run against Millwall in front of more than 22,000 fans at The Valley. With both sides evenly matched and Millwall thriving away from home, this Big Bet clash promises tension, intensity, and no shortage of drama.

Gameweek 5 brings a feast of derbies across the Premier League, Championship, League One and League Two, from the South Coast showdown between Southampton and Portsmouth to the first Manchester derby of the season. With fierce rivalries, high-scoring trends, and promotion battles all on the line, it’s set to be one of the most dramatic weekends yet.
