If Erling Haaland does indeed end up in the Premier League, why wouldn’t or shouldn’t it be with Manchester City? There still seems to be a sense among some that joining City would be all about The Money, whereas joining Manchester United or Liverpool would be a natural progression to the superclub his talent merits.

Two away goals to nil. Chelsea have a stranglehold on this Champions League tie and can absolutely win the whole thing, but Mason Mount will need some support. Compliments aimed Porto’s way were delivered strictly from the back of hands ever since the draw was announced. They’re determined, gritty, well-organised; a team that mirrors their […]

Leicester’s reported interest in Naby Keita may be little more than a spurious rumour. But whether it has any basis in fact is almost irrelevant: Leicester are being linked with a £50million midfielder, who has shown – admittedly in short glimpses – that he is worthy of such a price tag. It’s not gossip that […]

‘If Southgate honestly doesn’t think he’s worth a place in the squad then you really have to question the judgment of the man at the helm,’ wrote one Liverpool correspondent, more than happy to lean into his readership.

Miserable one this week. And it’s not going away. Valencia’s players walked off the field after Mouctar Diakhaby alleged Cadiz’s Juan Cala aimed a racist insult his way. And that was just the start of it… So who’s this week’s prick then? It’s a multi-layered thatch of deeply unpleasant prickery this week, like a […]

“Jesse Lingard scores a goal-of-the-season contender in a game-of-the-season contender at Wolves to propel West Ham back into the top four.” The last year has delivered plenty of unlikely storylines, and most of them have been f***ing awful. This one’s among the least likely but also least awful. On a weekend when so many of […]

Don’t say it, don’t say it, don’t say it… that was a game of two halves. Sorry, but it’s sometimes simply impossible to resist. Manchester United, not for the first time, were utterly rotten in the first half. Manchester United, not for the first time, were far better in the second half. Manchester United, not […]

Aston Villa’s two substitutes combined to change this game in a possibly season-defining quarter of an hour for Fulham and Newcastle. Fulham were out of the relegation zone for a tantalising 17 minutes of this sunny Easter afternoon after Aleksandar Mitrovic took his Serbia form into the Premier League and gave them the second-half lead […]

There was never really any doubt that the Misery Derby would produce a game and result that meant neither side was happy. And it wouldn’t have taken much psychic ability to imagine Spurs leading through Harry Kane late in the game before conceding an equaliser bundled home from an unlikely source – we got pretty […]

“With these prices, we are not going to buy any striker. It’s impossible, we can’t afford it. That is not going to happen. All the clubs struggle financially, and we are not an exception.” Pep Guardiola has deflated Manchester City fans’ hopes of a big-money striker signing this summer folowing the departure of the club’s […]
