  1. Hypocrite Mourinho hit new low with Vinicius racism row reaction

    Did Gianluca Prestianni racially abuse Vinicius Junior at the Estadio da Luz on Tuesday night? We don't know. Not yet at least. And that's mainly because the Argentine very deliberately covered his mouth with his shirt as he exchanged words with Vinicius after being inexplicably enraged by the Brazilian celebrating his 50th-minute goal with a little dance in front of the corner flag.

  2. Eze's huge week in fight to avoid 'transfer flop' status

    Eberechi Eze was meant to be Arsenal's X-factor this season, a player who could break the mould and deliver moments of magic for a regimented team in need of that extra attacking spark. The Gunners sit pretty at the top of the Premier League table, but they are still missing that fluidity in the final third, and Eze has seldom proven the answer to the questions over their potency from open play.

  3. Lionesses legend Kelly can still salvage injury-hit season

    Coming into the 2025-26 season, few - if any - were carrying the kind of momentum that Chloe Kelly was. She was the Lionesses' hero in the summer, scoring the penalty that delivered the 2025 European Championship title after also enjoying huge moments in the quarter-and-semi-finals to get England into that title-deciding clash with Spain. With a permanent move to Arsenal secured after all that, having helped the Gunners win the Champions League in May while on loan, Kelly felt primed for a huge season.

  4. Foden's in another funk - & it could cost him his England spot

    Pep Guardiola has told Phil Foden to just relax amid his latest slump in form, but that is easier said than done, given his place in the Manchester City line-up is less certain than ever while his status in the England squad also at risk. Foden appeared to have put last season's struggles behind him towards the end of 2025, but he now appears to be suffering another dip at the worst possible time.

  5. Football needs to solve its refereeing problem - fast

    One regular weekend of refereeing, that's all we ask for. Will never happen. At least not in the current climate - because if the fourth round of the FA Cup taught us anything, it's that the absence of VAR definitely doesn't mean an absence of controversy. The first half of the Aston Villa-Newcastle game alone made a compelling case for the continued use of technology for offside decisions and penalty claims.

    Hall of Fame: How Shevchenko became a Milan legend

    For a particular generation of AC Milan fans, those who grew up in the early 2000s, one name stands out above any other. Andriy Shevchenko combined technical skill with a ruthlessness in front of goal that made him one of the best strikers the game has ever seen, a Ballon d'Or winner and a worthy entrant into GOAL's Hall of Fame...

Premier League

  1. Rosenior sent brutal sack warning despite strong Chelsea start

    Liam Rosenior has been warned that "three or four" bad results could spell the end of his Chelsea tenure, with that readiness to chop and change the very reason he will struggle to be a long-term success at Stamford Bridge. Rosenior has made a strong start to life as the club's head coach, going unbeaten in his first five league games and securing a Champions League last-16 place, but one former Blue believes things could change very quickly.

  1. Why Madrid shouldn't rule out re-hiring Mourinho

    No one can create a siege mentality like Jose Mourinho.

  2. Can 'substitute teacher' Tudor save Spurs from relegation?

    Igor Tudor to Tottenham was the managerial move that nobody saw coming. After Thomas Frank's inevitable dismissal last week, all of the UK's leading bookmakers promptly published lists of the frontrunners in the race to succeed the Dane as head coach. Tudor's name didn't feature on any of them. He wasn't even considered a rank outsider for the role - he was a non-runner.

La Liga

  1. Raphinha hints at refereeing conspiracy after Barca loss

    The fallout from Barcelona's shock 2-1 defeat to Girona has taken a dramatic turn following a night of officiating chaos at the Estadi Montilivi. While Hansi Flick’s side surrendered a crucial lead and slipped behind Real Madrid in the Liga title race, the post-match narrative has been dominated by a controversial winning goal from Fran Beltran. The Blaugrana are now fuming over what they perceive as a systemic bias, leading to an explosive "against everyone" rallying cry from within the dressing room.

  2. Saha urges Man Utd to replace Fernandes with Palmer

    Former Manchester United striker Louis Saha has delivered a stark warning to Bruno Fernandes, urging the captain to consider his future at Old Trafford amid ongoing uncertainty under the INEOS regime.
