UK Government Will Hold Formal Debate on Football Fans Returning to Stadiums

In a season in which Manchester City's back four has been criticised more than ever under Pep Guardiola, it was fitting that Liverpool's Premier League triumph was rubber stamped courtesy of a calamitous defensive performance. Prior to the 2019/2020 campaign getting underway, the Cityzens were viewed as an infallible footballing machine. They seem anything but now. Manchester City's 2018/2019 Premier League title seems a long time ago now All but one of the 90min editors - and he probably only...

'Havertz just wants to be a nice player' - Chelsea midfielder 'has to be more assertive', says Hoddle

The last time Liverpool won a top flight title, Twitter was still 16 years away from being invented. This time around was a very different story.

Even prior to kick off in the title deciding game between Chelsea and Manchester City, the standard of Twitter #bantz from all parties was already exceptionally high. Cases in point, the following examples. Liverpool...

Anekeya: Former Zoo FC defender explains his situation amidst Covid-19

Arsenal can defend it seems. Thursday night's victory over Southampton may not have been the Gunners most impressive, nor most free-flowing performance of the season, but it signified the defensive capabilities of Mikel Arteta's inexperienced side. After the calamitous performance of David Luiz against Manchester City last week, as well as the last-gasp slip up against Brighton on Saturday, it appeared that Arteta really did have his work cut out in improving a seemingly fragile defence.

Barca, Juve, RM snap back at UEFA threats

After a delicate reverse pass from Luka Modric, Vinícius Júnior found himself on the left-hand side of the penalty area with the ball at his feet. This was a very familiar position for the 19-year-old and before he had time to mentally replay the myriad of squandered chances this territory usually beckons, he delicately dinked the ball over the onrushing goalkeeper. Vinícius and the Mallorca defence look on as the Brazilian gives Real Madrid the lead with a deft finish Admittedly, five minutes...

Burnley Keep Defying the Odds But Sean Dyche Deserves Backing in the Transfer Market

A cursory glance at the bench that Sean Dyche selected for Burnley's meeting with Watford on Thursday afternoon provides an indication of the problems that exist at the club. Two of the Clarets' nine substitutes were goalkeepers and four were youngsters yet to make a single Premier League appearance. The second string was completed by Erik Pieters, Phil Bardsley and Kevin Long - a veritable who's who of boring top flight defenders. Incredibly, this was an improvement from Burnley's previous...

tory Arsenal claimed a much needed victory over Southampton at St Mary's Stadium on Thursday evening, as Alex McCarthy's error helped the visitors on their way to a 2-0 win. The Saints stopper was sloppy in possession midway through the first half, carelessly playing the ball against the on-rushing Eddie Nketiah, who tapped into an empty net. Alex McCarthy was to blame for Arsenal's first goal. The hosts tried to fight their way back into the game, but Arsenal sealed the win after Joe Willock...
