Not noticed this covered anywhere else...

For several seasons, I've used the Sporting Life form guides for various football prediction competitions, but they seem to have disappeared in the last week or so. Total dumbing down on the website.

Any suggestions for simple alternatives? Just need overall form for last 6-10 games, plus home and away, in the form of league tables for the four divisions. Thanks.

Try the sky sports website as all the old life racing stuff is on there. The Life and the Post are both hideous lumps of shits that cannot have been tested with any racing fan.

The live football tables have all gone and the live scores are, like the racing, shocking with betting odds all over them and great big stars to make them favourites FFS. How hard can it be to leave things as they are:ffsparr:

Agreed, they've messed up the Sporting Life website, does anyone know of a comparable website which lists all the live scores with the goal scorers on the same page?

All the live scores pages I've looked at just have the score & then you have to click on the game to see the scorers, I can't for the life of me understand why they all present it this way.

I'd just like it all at a glance, which I can imagine most people would prefer also?

I did use a search engine, I couldn't find what I was looking for.

In case you're misunderstanding, what I mean is a list of all the live scores with the goal scorers underneath the score, all on the same page. The Sky Sports website doesn't show this.

If you can share a link it would be appreciated?

Just to be clear, I'm not looking for live tables, or betting odds on individual games.

I'm looking for form tables, so I can predict results, ie. exactly the thing that Sporting Life used to provide.

Can't see it on the Sky site.

I have been using the Sporting Life website for a while now as it was easy to use and informative.
About a week ago they changed the website format and now it is hard to use and a lot of the information is hidden or hard to find.
As a result I have reverted to using the BBC Sport website, I can't understand why Sporting Life have done this as lots of people have stopped using it now as a result.
I'm all for progress, but if it ain't broke etc.

I couldn't find anything useful on there yesterday when I was trying to look up individual Championship club news. I'm sure you used to be able to do that. It was one of the most comprehensive sites around. They've ruined it completely.

I always use the Bet365 website for a form table. Select sports / soccer and then scroll to the very bottom and select soccer stats. Always found it pretty comprehensive.. you don't need to be logged in or a member to be able to view it. Huddersfield 1st, Newcastle 2nd and Albion 6th in their current form table!

Turns out you can still get good match reports on all games but you have to go into a Championship round up and click through from there. And really useful stuff, like having the lineups for both teams on the same page as the report has gone. Now it's all fiddly tabs. They've screwed a great format for no good reason.

Plenty of the people who work there are baffled by it too, it was turning a profit in the old format but not enough apparently. The redesign may have killed it dead though, it's a truly shocking piece of work, even worse that the Post's (and at least you can still turn that off, for the moment at least).

As has been posted, soccerway has a 6-match form guide, split home and away, and plenty more free resources besides. Can't see any way to bump it up to 10 though.
