It’s Six Nations Super Saturday today. 3 matches, all having massive permutations in how the final table might look. First this afternoon is Scotland’s trip to Ireland. Remarkably both teams could still win the tournament outright. Scotland’s momentum carried them to a staggering win against France last weekend whilst Ireland dispatched Wales. A win for either side leaves their fate undecided, until later this evening. But before that there’s Wales’s clash with Italy, who can finish as high as 3rd if results go their way today. Wales will hope to end a miserable campaign with their first win of the tournament, though they’ll need a massive scoreline to overtake England and avoid this year’s wooden spoon. Finally at 8:10pm there’s the crunch game. France host a despondent England. France need a win and a bonus point to more or less guarantee their second championship in a row. A loss to England would open the door for whomever won the first match of the day. A win with no bonus point, and Scotland will take the title if they beat Ireland and scored enough tries. Scotland could still win the title if they thrash Ireland by a scoreline 59 points greater than a France bonus point win, which whilst unlikely, shouldn’t be completely out of the question considering this has been a tournament full of surprises. #rugbyunion #sixnationsrugby #SixNations2026 #woodhallspa #dogfriendly #sportsbar

The Champions league round of 16 begins tonight, and there’s 6 English teams taking part over the next 2 days. Tonight at 5:45 Galatasaray host Liverpool, Galatasaray beat Liverpool 1-0 when they faced each other in the group phase and knocked out Italian giants Juventus to reach this stage of the competition. Liverpool need a positive result to take back with them to Anfield in the second leg next week. Following on from that, Newcastle host Spanish champions Barcelona. These teams also met in the group phase, and Barcelona beat the toon 2-1 thanks to a couple of stunning goals from Marcus Rashford. The Champions league represents Newcastle’s final chance at silverware this season, and should they manage to beat Barca the draw looks fairly favourable for them. Dare we be optimistic (probably not). Wednesday sees Arsenal travel to Leverkusen at 5:45 before Manchester City play Real Madrid at 8pm. On opposite sides of the draw, Arsenal and Manchester City could both yet set themselves up for a quadruple (at least until the league cup final removes one of them from contention). Both of them will be favourites going into this matchup, though Leverkusen did beat Man City in the group phase and Real Madrid are a behemoth of European football, it’s anybody’s game. Also look out for Tottenham’s trip to Atletico Madrid tonight, and Chelsea’s day in Paris. When over a third of the teams left are English there’s plenty of football to keep an eye on. #uefachampionsleague #woodhallspa #football #NewcastleUnited #dogfriendly #LiverpoolFC #ArsenalFC #ManchesterCity

It’s a bumper weekend of sport, with Six nations action and the 5th round of the FA cup taking centre stage. Beginning with the six nations. Tonight Ireland face Wales. Ireland need a win to keep slim hopes of a six nations title alive, though they’ll need France to slip up at some point. Wales just need something positive, after losing in heartbreaking fashion to Scotland a fortnight ago. Tomorrow, France travel to Scotland looking to continue their perfect run of form. Scotland still have an outside chance of a six nations title, they’ll need to win their next 2 games though, and by fairly large margins to overtake France. England take on Italy, hoping to put the disappointing defeats to Ireland and Scotland out of their mind. Italy however could well spring a surprise as they hope to earn their first competitive win over an England side in their history. Moving on to the FA Cup, 8 fixtures take place over the weekend, some of them coinciding with six nations action: Wolves take on Liverpool tonight hoping to beat them for the second time in 3 days. Mansfield host Arsenal tomorrow afternoon with the dream of a big cup upset firmly on their minds. Chelsea travel to Wales and take on the Hollywood backed Wrexham tomorrow evening. Newcastle host Manchester City.. again, tomorrow evening. This will be the 5th meeting between the two teams this season, Newcastle beat city’s Manchester rivals on Wednesday whilst City slumped to a 2-2 draw against relegation threatened Nottingham Forest. Sunday’s action features the lowest ranked side left in the competition as Port Vale host Sunderland, potential giant killing inbound? Fingers crossed 🤞🏼. #sportsbar #FACup #SixNations2026 #rugbyunion #football #dogfriendly #woodhallspa

It’s a game that has thrown many classics around during the premier league era. A match that 30 years ago was being played by the 2 best teams in English football. A rivalry that birthed a classic Keegan outburst. Tonight, Manchester United travel to the, in recent weeks, penetrable St James’ Park in hopes of continuing their great recent form since the appointment of former Wallsend academy product Michael Carrick. Newcastle’s defeat at the hands of Everton last weekend means they’ve lost 3 premier league games in a row at home for the first time under Eddie Howe. However under Howe’s management the Toon have not lost at home to the Red Devils. European qualification via the league looks like an unlikely opportunity for Newcastle, they sit 10 places below their opponents tonight and 8 points behind Brentford in 7th. There are positives to look at for Newcastle though, a new Greggs themed pub opened recently, so black and white sorrows can be drowned with beer and sausage rolls. Kick off at 8.15pm tonight, following the first half of Man City vs Nottingham Forest. #NewcastleUnited #manchesterunited #woodhallspa #pub #PremierLeagueFootball #TNTSports #dogfriendly #sportsbar
