Preston North End

Preston North End

Preston were the original Invincibles, winning the first Football League title unbeaten and lifting the FA Cup without conceding a goal. That’s some history to live up to, but what will the numbers say about North End this time around?

There’s plenty behind Preston. What comes next?

You don’t have to look very far at Preston before somebody mentions the Invincibles, Sir Tom Finney or just how long football has been played at Deepdale. Fair enough too. There aren’t many clubs with that sort of history behind them.

But if you’re a North End fan now, you probably want a few new stories of your own.

Preston have come close to the same heights before. They were one game away from the Premier League under David Moyes, only for Bolton to beat them in the 2001 play-off final. More than two decades later, they’re still waiting for that mythical first Premier League season.

That’s what makes PNE interesting to us this year. There’s no shortage of history here. The question is whether this group can give fans something they’ll still be talking about years from now, or whether the wait will continue. Either way, you can follow along with all the action with Match Bingo.

FAQs

Because they went unbeaten while winning the very first Football League title in 1888/89. They also won the FA Cup that season without conceding a single goal. Ridiculous, really.
Nope. North End have played in the top flight plenty of times historically, but they’ve never made it into the Premier League since it launched in 1992. They came agonisingly close in the 2001 play-off final.
Not at all. Plenty can happen while the score stays exactly where it is, which is kind of the point. Stick it on alongside North End and there’s more to keep you watching than waiting for the net to move.
The score’s only half of it. Set-pieces, cards, a sudden spell of pressure or one of those mad few minutes where everything starts happening can all give you something extra to follow

Clean sheets in the Premier League and Championship

Five Premier League keepers have three clean sheets from five games, but Konstantinos Tzolakis has made the most saves of the group. In the Championship, George Wickens has matched Lawrence Vigouroux's four clean sheets while facing far more shots.

Eight Championship players are one yellow card from a ban

Eight Championship players are one yellow card away from a one-match ban. Card rates show who might be missing, and QPR should line up cover for Jake Clarke-Salter now.

Match Bingo Game Modes Explained

There are three game types on Match Bingo and they behave less alike than they sound. Live Games follow a real fixture as it's played. Bingoals swaps the fifteen events for fifteen teams and needs every one of them to score. Quick Games run every few minutes on football from last season, so there's nothing to wait for.

Does a New Signing Change Anything on Your Match Bingo Card?

Deadline day comes and goes and your card stays exactly as it was. Match Bingo cards are built from things that happen in a match, goals and corners and fouls, rather than from the players who make them happen. No name on a teamsheet reaches a single square. Here's what a signing does change, and what it doesn't.

Is Match Bingo Safe? Licensing, Fair Play and Player Protection

Two things usually sit behind that question: whether the company is real and regulated, and whether the game itself can be got at by somebody sharper than you. Match Bingo is operated by RTSB Limited under Gambling Commission account 51467, which takes about a minute to check. The second answer is duller: there's nothing to press.

What Is Football Bingo?

A card holds fifteen things that can happen in a football match, and each square marks itself the moment its event happens in the fixture you've chosen. You buy before kick-off, then you go and watch the game. Complete a horizontal row of five before anybody else and you take the fixed prize for that tier.
