Premier League

  1. Why Gyokeres failed to make the grade at Brighton

    Viktor Gyokeres' first season at Arsenal has been mixed, to put it kindly. Indeed, he only scored seven goals in his first 22 appearances across all competitions for the Gunners, which represented a poor return on the club's £63.5 million ($85m) investment in his services. Some felt the Swede was an awkward fit for Mikel Arteta's side, while others went as far as to label Gyokeres one of the worst signings in Premier League history.

  2. Flying Frimpong can lift Liverpool in EPL's top-five fight

    Twenty minutes - that's all Jeremie Frimpong needed to show Liverpool what they'd been missing in Saturday's Premier League clash with West Ham. The Reds were already 4-2 up when the Dutchman replaced Joe Gomez at right-back, but the game wasn't over. On the contrary, Valentin Castellanos had just pulled a goal back for the relegation-threatened visitors, who were causing Liverpool's defence all sorts of problems.

  3. Carrick is United's only choice in permanent manager hunt

    When Roy Keane claimed in January that Michael Carrick should not get the Manchester United job permanently even if he wins every game until the end of the season, it was easy to think that the hypothetical scenario he painted would never be tested. But the man who inherited the famous No.16 shirt from the polemical Irishman at Old Trafford and thus unwillingly became his sworn enemy is holding Keane to his word.

  4. Will '27 World Cup cycle be Wiegman's last Lionesses dance?

    Last month, when Lionesses boss Sarina Wiegman was asked if there was concern that her contract situation could prove to be a distraction for England ahead of the 2027 Women's World Cup, she was pretty bullish in her answer. "There is no distraction whatsoever," she responded. "Everyone is really focused on this qualification. I haven't heard anyone in my team or staff that has been occupied with that."

  6. RANKED: Chelsea's most stupid of their TEN red cards

    Chelsea have plenty of issues to solve, but perhaps the most glaring right now is their lack of discipline. The lack of experienced heads within the youngest squad in the Premier League has been pointed to on a number of occasions during the BlueCo era, but nowhere is it more glaring than when it comes keeping a full compliment of players on the pitch at Stamford Bridge.

  7. Brits Abroad: Kane smashes more records in Klassiker win

    GOAL runs the rule over the British players earning a living away from their homeland, with plenty more stars deciding to leave their comfort zones in search of a better footballing life elsewhere. The Premier League is still obviously one of the world's most entertaining divisions and the Championship can prove fantastic for development, but there are more options out there.

La Liga

  1. Getafe star calls for 10-match ban for Rudiger after brutal foul

    Real Madrid’s shocking 1-0 defeat to Getafe on Monday has been overshadowed by a moment of pure controversy involving Antonio Rudiger. The German powerhouse escaped any on-field punishment despite appearing to drive his knee into the face of Getafe left-back Diego Rico while the defender was already grounded. The incident has sparked a wave of fury from the visitors, with Rico leading the charge by suggesting the former Chelsea man acted with deliberate malice during a heated exchange between the two sides.
