Journalist Ian Ladyman believes that a decision made by Ange Postecoglou at the start of his Spurs career is coming back to haunt him, implying that the Tottenham head coach is now looking lonely on the sidelines. Ange Postecoglou handles things his way at Tottenham. Postecoglou is clearly a renegade among managers who does not feel compelled to follow established conventions. That applies not only to his tactics, messages to the Spurs players, and media interviews, but also to other aspects of his management. One of the numerous differences is that the Australian does not have a set backroom crew…

Robbie Savage was perplexed after referee John Beaton awarded Hibernian a penalty in their 3-3 draw with Rangers. The Gers seized the lead after only four minutes, with Hamza Igamane making it 2-0 in the 19th minute, but the hosts rallied to make it 2-1 before halftime due to Martin Boyle. Beaton juar awarded Hibs a penalty after the hour after Ianis Hagi tried to acquire the ball from Josh Campbell as he entered the box, but the referee determined he took none of the ball, and Hibernian scored to tie the score. Savage disagreed with the penalty judgment, saying…

Stan Collymore, a former Liverpool forward, has shared the terrible news that his mother has died aged 94. The former Reds player resorted to social media on Sunday to provide the touching update. In a poignant homage to X, he wrote: “It is with tremendous grief and deepest sorrow that I announce the demise of my beloved mother, Doreen Collymore, today, aged 94. “Many people in Cannock, Villa, and the clubs I played for knew her and always asked how she was, which…
Nottingham Forest will look for a new striker this month as the team seeks to add competition to star Chris Wood. Shay Given has given Wood a new moniker this season after the striker scored 12 goals in the first half of the season. With Taiwo Awoniyi failing to score this season, the Reds would want to add another talisman to their roster. Corinthians attacker Yuri Alberto is being pursued, but a deal before the deadline early next month may prove difficult. However, another deal could be on the table in Brazil, providing Forest with a solution to their January…
There are a few Leeds United players being associated with the exit door this month, and one of them has suffered a new blow, which could mean he has played his final game for the club. So far, six Leeds players have been linked with departures in January. Tottenham is reportedly interested in Pascal Struijk, while Junior Firpo’s entourage is planning a summer departure, with Real Betis leading the way. Daniel Farke projected a quiet window, but with the need for one or two reinforcements and some players potentially departing the club in the coming weeks, it might be a…
Manor Solomon of Leeds United was spotted yelling at Ethan Ampadu during Saturday’s 3-3 draw with Hull City, according to Graham Smyth. The Whites appeared to be on track to extend their lead at the top of the Championship to three points, but an 89th-minute Abu Kamara goal knocked them back. Solomon, an Israel international, assisted in the game but was unable to lead the Elland Road team to victory following Kamara’s late goal. On January 5, Yorkshire Evening Post writer Smyth revealed the off-camera interaction, writing: “Solomon venting to Ampadu at full-time and gesticulating back down the pitch to…
The former Liverpool defender believes it may be time for the club to move on from one of its recent icons, as the Reds pursue a record-equaling top-flight crown. Jamie Carragher has urged on Liverpool to buy a left-back during the January transfer window, suggesting that it will improve the club’s chances of winning the Premier League title. Those aspirations were dashed slightly on Sunday when Liverpool was held at home by Manchester United, reducing the Reds’ lead at the top of the league to six points with one game in hand. While Cody Gakpo and Mohamed Salah’s goals maintained…
Nuno Espirito Santo will play his former club, Wolverhampton Wanderers, at Molineux on Monday night. The Reds drew 1-1 with Wolves in the reverse meeting in August, but the West Midlanders were a very different animal under Gary O’Neil. Wolves appeared to be in serious danger of relegation under their previous manager, but they have won twice and drawn once since Vitor Pereira arrived. With Chelsea and Arsenal missing points this weekend, the game gives an excellent opportunity for Forest to consolidate their status in the Premier League’s top four. Espirito Santo has received plaudits from Jamie Redknapp this season,…
Keith Hackett believes Rangers midfielder Mohamed Diomande should have received a yellow card after a challenge described as “reckless” by the former PGMOL chairman. Rangers were held back by Hibernian, with Philippe Clement’s team settling for a 3-3 draw at Easter Road on Sunday. Diomande garnered praise for his midfield effort, but a late challenge on Nicky Cadden in the first half resulted in a warning, leaving Hackett astonished he wasn’t penalized once the tape was shown on Sky Sports Football. “This challenge was reckless and warranted a yellow card,” Hackett told Ibrox News. “The referee was in a good…
Given Nottingham Forest’s success on the pitch this season under Nuno Espirito Santo, it’s tough to remember that the club had a turbulent offseason in 2024. Forest are third in the Premier League rankings ahead of Monday’s match against Wolverhampton Wanderers, having won five games in a row during Christmas. This form led Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher to predict Forest would finish sixth at the end of the season, in stark contrast to those commentators who predicted Forest’s relegation at the start of the season. However, the City Ground was not always a pleasant place in 2024, with Forest…
