Unthinkably, the group behind the initial European Super League calamity are proposing the idea again with some slight changes. The initial attempt to form a breakaway competition was led by 12 clubs in April 2021. The outcry that ensued resulted in protests, and the Premier League’s big six backed out within 72 hours. However, Real

In an unprecedented move, the governing body for referees (PGMOL) has admitted officiating mistakes were made in this week’s matches.  Former referee Howard Webb took over as Chief Refereeing Officer for the PGMOL in August. He promised greater transparency and appears to be delivering that.  Following controversial VAR decisions in Arsenal VS Brentford and Crystal

Manchester City have been charged with more than 100 breaches of the Premier League’s financial rules, it emerged on Monday.

It’s as you were in the title race after Manchester City failed to capitalise on Arsenal’s defeat to Everton. Arsenal lost 1-0 at Goodison Park in Sean Dyche’s first game as Everton manager on Saturday. On Sunday, Manchester City traveled to White Hart Lane and lost 1-0 to a Harry Kane goal.

Chelsea have signed Benfica midfielder Enzo Fernandez from Benfica for £106.8 million, a British transfer fee record.  The worrying thing is, it looks like they’re just getting going. Fernandez is Chelsea’s eighth signing of the January transfer window, bringing their spend up to £323 million. Since Todd Boehly’s takeover in May 2022, Chelsea have signed

Manchester United’s title challenge appeared to be short lived, but according to Erik ten Hag it’s not over yet. Their recent draw against Crystal Palace and defeat to Arsenal somewhat curtailed Manchester United’s recent resurgence. Since the World Cup break (and shedding of Ronaldo), they have been one of the league’s best teams. Given the

In a crushingly inevitable development, Frank Lampard has been removed as Everton manager with the club 19th in the table. Frank Lampard joined Everton in January 2022 and helped them to narrowly avoid a relegation which he nearly caused.  This season, Frank Lampard led Everton to 15 points from 20 games and only three wins.

In recent years there’s been a sense of ennui, sadness even, when Arsenal and Manchester United face each other. A dormant rivalry between two sleeping giants seemed to have lost its lustre, its jeopardy and importance. The Premier League’s notoriety was built largely upon the competition between the two teams when they fought for the

The mood is low at Anfield after Jurgen Klopp admitted the 3-0 defeat to Brighton was the worst of his managerial career.  After an extraordinary season last year, Liverpool are suffering something of a hangover. Last season, Liverpool won the F.A Cup and the League Cup and were one game away from winning the Premier
