I know it’s only September but Arsenal's win at Newcastle yesterday feels huge. Not necessarily even the result or the performance more the way it happened. In my eyes the Gyokeres penalty was absolutely stonewall and I was gobsmacked to see it overturned. It looked a mirror image of the situation at Old Trafford last week but whereas United ended up with a penalty and playing against 10 men, Arsenal got nothing. Yes, the keeper gets a small touch on the ball but it is a foul anywhere else on

Arsenal will play Newcastle this weekend (28th September) in what promises to be a formidable test for the north London giants. The Magpies have lost just one of their opening five fixtures but for contrast, have managed only one win and drawn three from that list. Their solitary loss came at home to Premier League Champions Liverpool back in August in a five goal thriller, the winning goal scored in the 100th minute by sixteen year old Rio Ngumoha, coming off the bench to secure the points and

When Nick Woltemade faced the press as Newcastle United’s record signing, curiosity surrounded not just his price tag but also the personality behind the player. At 22 years old, the German forward arrived from VfB Stuttgart in a £69 million deal, signed to lead the line after Alexander Isak’s speculated transfer to Liverpool FC (at the time). Pressed on which Premier League ground he was most excited to play at, Woltemade didn’t hesitate. “I would say Anfield. Jurgen Klopp was there for a lon

The English Football League (EFL) has announced the referee appointments for the third round of the 2025/26 Carabao Cup, setting the stage for an exciting midweek of cup action. With Premier League giants like Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City, and Arsenal entering the fray against lower-league opposition, these ties could produce classic upsets. Key matches include Lincoln City hosting Chelsea and Port Vale welcoming Arsenal, all under the watchful eyes of experienced officials such as Craig

Anthony Gordon may have scored his first-ever Champions League goal, but the Newcastle winger was far more focused on the opposition after Thursday night’s clash with Barcelona. Rather than celebrating in front of the home crowd at St James’ Park, Gordon quickly retrieved the ball from the net, desperate to spark a comeback. His strike, however, wasn’t enough as Eddie Howe’s side slipped to a 2-1 defeat, with Marcus Rashford’s brace proving decisive. Missed chances prove costly for Newcastle

Newcastle United are closely monitoring Manchester United midfielder Kobbie Mainoo as the January transfer window approaches, according to reports from talkSPORT. The 21-year-old England international has grown frustrated at Old Trafford, having slipped down the pecking order under new manager Ruben Amorim. Mainoo was eager to leave United before the summer transfer deadline but saw potential moves blocked by the club. Despite his desire for more playing time, the academy graduate was left on

Well then — if anyone thought Chelsea’s win over Liverpool was a one-off, Saturday at the City Ground was the mic drop. The Blues battered Nottingham Forest 3‑0, oozing confidence, control, and killer instinct. It was a performance that not only sent Forest into panic mode but also left Ange Postecoglou leaving the City Ground with a sack letter. Let’s break down the main takeaways the good, the not-so-good, and the ones to keep an eye on — for all Chelsea fans. 1. Romeo Lavia: Not Quite Ther

After a fast start which resulted in an early lead, Spurs once again failed to capitalise, and two moments of quality from Morgan Rogers and Emi Buendia turned the game around and earned Villa all three points. Charity begins at home Spurs have now won only three of their last 18 Premier League home matches, which is almost unfathomable for a club of this size and stature. The supposed 'game-changer' stadium is in serious need of game changers on the pitch, and is currently, understandably, l

For Wolverhampton Wanderers, this wasn't just another defeat; it felt like a breaking point. A sobering 2-0 loss away to Sunderland left Wolves rooted to the bottom of the Premier League table, still searching for their first win of the season, making them the only team in the top five divisions in England without a win. The numbers are damning: five goals scored, 16 conceded, and a growing sense that Vítor Pereira's project is unravelling before it has truly begun. At the Stadium of Light, Wol

After a win last time out at home to Sunderland, and with Liverpool having lost the last three of their own games in both the league and in Europe. You would think it was an ideal time for Manchester United to cut their teeth against the reigning Premier League champions. However with the international break stopping domestic action for two weeks, it gave a chance for a reset, and a trip to Anfield after all of the travel and disruption of such the break appeared a daunting task. Match Report

Club football on the horizon again, where do Arsenal stand? In the last international break, I predicted that 10 points out of 12 for Arsenal would leave them no further off Liverpool than they were at that point and more than likely closer to 1st place. In the aftermath of drawing at home to what appeared to be an imminently beatable City side and Newcastle away still to come I did wonder if we would reach that target. I should never have questioned Mikel and the boys and I am still buzzing f

Woltemade: Germany’s Rising Star and Newcastle’s New Striking Sensation Nick Woltemade is rapidly emerging as one of Europe’s most exciting young strikers, making waves both for Germany and Newcastle United. At just 22, the German forward has already become a pivotal figure in Julian Nagelsmann’s national team setup and Eddie Howe’s Premier League plans. His seamless transition from VfB Stuttgart to St James’ Park has been nothing short of impressive. With Alexander Isak leaving big boots to f

Transition & Expectations The arrival of the new Premier League Season sees Chelsea Football Club brimming with confidence and a lot of momentum due to their strong finish to last season, which saw them, qualify for Champions League football, complete the European trophy set by winning the Conference League and more significantly winning the Club World Cup. But with success comes higher expectations and more pressure. The club’s management, fans, and pundits now expect consistency, fewer dips,

World Class Talent in Peak Form The phenomenal Erling Haaland just keeps breaking records with exceptional performances for both Norway and Manchester City. As of October 2025, the 25-year-old striker has not only solidified his status as Norway’s all-time top scorer but he has already bagged 94 goals in 104 appearances for Manchester City. International Brilliance: Erling Record-Breaker In their recent World Cup qualifier against Israel on October 11, 2025, Haaland achieved a remarkable mil

Antoine Semenyo's rise from a near-quit at 15 to a Premier League standout is a testament to resilience and talent. Currently at AFC Bournemouth, the Ghanaian forward has caught the attention of Liverpool's hierarchy as reported by This Is Anfield, being viewed as an ideal signing to bolster their attacking options. Career Overview Semenyo's journey began at Bristol City, where he made a significant impact in the Championship. In the 2021-22 season, he registered eight goals and twelve assist

Cole Palmer, Chelsea’s dynamic 23-year-old attacking midfielder, has swiftly become a central figure in the club's resurgence. His blend of creativity, technical prowess, and big-game mentality has drawn comparisons to Chelsea legend Joe Cole. While both players share a flair for the dramatic, Palmer's statistics and style offer a fresh perspective on Chelsea's evolving midfield. Career Statistics: A Glimpse into Palmer's Impact Since joining Chelsea in August 2023, Palmer has made significan
