Perhaps Jurgen Klopp’s right and God is a Manchester City fan, there is some evidence to back it up but there are also plenty of moments to suggest God enjoys testing the strength of the fans’ gallows humour. Maybe a run to Champions League Final will make us all believers, with Borussia Monchengladbach standing in […]

In which we mercilessly kick a lovely but really old puppy. Which is just a dog, isn’t it? We’re just kicking an elderly dog. That’s probably fine. So who’s this week’s prick then? We’re not proud of ourselves for this, but it’s Roy Hodgson. I know, lovely Uncle Roy. He’s a kind and good […]

This side, admittedly in desperate need of a centre-forward, features a World Cup finalist and a few failed wonderkids… Sergio Romero Michael Korbownik Calum Chambers Terence Kongolo Danny Rose Jack Rodwell Phil Jones Jean-Philipe Gbamin Ben Woodburn […]

10) Ralph Hasenhuttl The runner-up in the 2020 Football365 manager of the year award has endured this season rather than enjoyed what was tipped – and initially promised – to be a campaign leading to European football. Rotten luck culminating in a high/low point of nine first-team players missing through injury serves as a useful […]

Game to watch – Atletico Madrid v Chelsea At least 27% of Chelsea’s sluggishness on Saturday can probably be attributed to this looming fixture and their journey to Romania (where else?) to play the La Liga leaders. The good news is that Atletico are missing Jose Gimenez, Yannick Carrasco and Sime Vrsaljko and they have […]

The 2-1 defeat to West Ham on Sunday was Jose Mourinho’s 50th Premier League game in charge of Tottenham and means he now has the lowest win percentage of any Spurs manager since Juande Ramos. Here’s how his first 50 games stack up against selected Premier League managers. Thanks to transfermarkt for the stats. […]
Read More… from Mourinho at 50: Spurs record compared to Klopp and co
The first iteration of this article was published back in March 2019 after a poor Liverpool performance in a Merseyside derby. Be it due to fate, the photographic memory of us here at Football365 (unlikely), or simply Jurgen Klopp’s propensity for particularly bizarre excuses after Everton games, the amended article comes after an even worse […]

1. First the formalities. That’s the league title sorted, if it wasn’t already. It really is an absurd achievement from City, who as recently as mid-December looked like having a genuinely bad season and were limp and ineffective enough for one hotheaded fool to rule them out of title contention. It was a rash and […]
Leicester are a reliable and welcome source of sanity in a world gone tits up. Since making a right old b***ocks of a seemingly certain Champions League place last season, they have regrouped and quite simply decided not to do that again. Just be good instead. And they are. While everyone else lurches from absurd […]

* A first derby defeat in 22 and a half years since September 1999. A first defeat of any sort to Everton in more than a decade. The first run of four Premier League defeats since 2002. And the first time Liverpool have lost four consecutive league games in 98 years. Unlike the Manchester City and […]
