Feast of Football

Where would Wales be without Ben Davies? And how will they fill the void once he's gone? Since making his debut in 2012, the 32-year-old has hardly put a foot wrong in the Wales defence, and continues to lead from the front despite limited opportunities at Spurs. He become only the fourth Welshman to reach 100 caps when Wales lost a crucial World Cup qualifier a week ago, but he wants more. Much more.

In between a morning tactical s...

After impressive midweek performances by Swansea City and Wrexham, Iwan and Sam believe both clubs can mount a serious challenge for the play-off places in the Championship.

For the first time in history, three Welsh clubs have reached the fourth round of the EFL Cup in the same season - cementing some encouraging and improving early-season form for Cardiff City, Swansea City and Wrexham.

There's not much to shout about at Newport County, though. Sam's Gillingham record-breaking side were the latest to increase the pressure on manager Dave Hughes, but at least the Rodney Parade faithful made their pres...

Since taking his first tentative steps into management just over a year ago, Robbie Savage has been riding on the crest of a wave. The former Wales midfielder won the Northern Premier League Premier Division title with six games to spare last season, prompting Forest Green Rovers to give him his first taste of professional management with a four-year contract in July. An unbeaten start to this season sees Savage's side sitting join...

Carl Roberts, Iwan Roberts and Sam Vokes discuss what Wales manager Craig Bellamy learned from the friendly defeat against Canada in Swansea. Have any of the youngsters or fringe players forced themselves into his plans for next month's crucial World Cup qualifier at home to Belgium.

Swansea City, Wrexham and Cardiff City return to action this weekend for the first time since the end of the transfer window. The two Championship sid...

It wasn't convincing at times, but Kieffer Moore's goal ensured Wales came away with a crucial World Cup qualifying victory in Astana. Sam, Carl and Iwan assemble on the final whistle to pick through the bones of the performance, as Wales move to the top of the group.

Wrexham made it two successive losses in the Championship with a 3-2 defeat to West Brom while Newport County lost their first leagu...

Newport County drew 1-1 at home to Notts County in their League Two opener in a match which was delayed for an hour due to a medical emergency ...

It's the beginning of a new era at Cardiff City and Newport County as both clubs prepare for life under new, and inexperienced, managers. The Bluebirds, playing in the third level of English football for the first time in 21 years, have opted for the blue side of Manchester by appointing for former Manchester City youth coach Brian Barry-Murphy. The Exiles, meanwhile, have gone for the red side by choosing former Manchester United ...

11 hours after getting back to the Wales team hotel, Wales players Lois Joel and Ella Powell have their lie-ins curtailed to speak to the media at an eerily quiet training base in Weinfelden. The rest of the squad are back at the team hotel to recover from a 4-1 defeat to France in St Gallen. Even the Feast of Football pundits have been given the morning off but Carl spoke to Powell and Joel who have both made a tournament debut fo...
