As the final Merseyside derby at Goodison Park descended into chaos, Liverpool manager Arne Slot was one of FOUR players sent off by referee Michael Oliver. What he said to the official, Virgil van Dijk’s reaction, and the Dutchman’s immediate ban have all been made public. After Alexis Mac Allister and Mo Salah’s goals negated Beto’s early opener, the Reds appeared poised to take a nine-point lead at the top of the Premier League. But a James Tarkowski goal deep in stoppage time meant the points were shared and ensured Liverpool only went seven clear at the top – but…

Nottingham Forest will face a summer of uncertainty to a certain extent as a number of elite players will come under consideration for other teams. The Reds could qualify for European action in 2025/26, as Forest are currently third in the Premier League table and performing admirably. Chelsea is interested in signing Murillo this summer. The Blues had a bid rejected for the Brazilian defender in January, and it appears that they will return for him when the transfer window reopens at the conclusion of the season. Meanwhile, Liverpool has expressed interest in Morgan Gibbs-White and Elliot Anderson. The champions-elect…
James Tavernier is a bit of a mystery at Rangers. The captain is approaching 500 appearances, having scored over 100 goals for the club as a right-back, and will have spent ten years at Ibrox by July. Tavernier has been a tremendous servant to Rangers, without a doubt, but his name has been synonymous with the club’s dismal performance over the last decade. The 33-year-old has only won three major titles in his tenure at Ibrox, a disappointing return for a club with such rich heritage, which is now again under the shadow of its great rivals Celtic. Rangers’ heartbreaking…
Liverpool faced a tough battle in the final Merseyside Derby at Goodison Park on Wednesday evening. After more than two months, the Reds finally had a game in hand, and a win would have put them nine points clear in the Premier League rankings. Things did not start well for Liverpool, though, with Everton anxious to take advantage of a hostile atmosphere at Goodison. And, just like last season, the Toffees took a first-half lead. This time, Everton’s Beto delivered, sneaking in between the Reds’ defence and firing past Alisson Becker. However, as Ally McCoist pointed out on TNT Sports…
Manchester City were forced to make two first-half substitutions in their Champions League match with Real Madrid. Manchester City suffered a tough double injury setback in their 3-2 loss to Real Madrid ahead of Newcastle United’s visit to the Etihad Stadium this weekend. Pep Guardiola fielded all of his centre-backs in a system he hasn’t used this season, with Manuel Akanji taking on Vinicius Jr after Kyle Walker left for AC Milan in January. England playmaker Jack Grealish was an unusual starter for City on the left in an attempt to control possession against the reigning Champions League champions, but…

Philippe Clement is a man under fire at Rangers considering their recent performances and loss to Queens Park in the Scottish Cup. Already unpopular with the supporters, the Belgian’s lack of trophies and the significant gap with rivals Celtic are cause for alarm. However, there have been no noteworthy occurrences that indicate the Ibrox management is eager to fire their manager. The only option available to Rangers is to fire Philippe Clement. David Edgar of Heart and Hand replied on X when asked if the club’s social media absence was due to them negotiating an exit deal for the Belgian:…
A large, powerful center-forward who enjoys a battle as much as a goal has long been a favorite of Leeds United’s. And in many respects, Duncan Ferguson still has the feel of a former Leeds United number nine. However, Leeds didn’t stop aiming for it. The Yorkshire giants were under pressure to fill a significant vacuum in their frontline when Lee Chapman, the fan favorite, said an emotional goodbye to life at Elland Road in 1993, just two years after leading Howard Wilkinson’s team to the final First Division title ever. They sought to fill the gap with Duncan Ferguson,…
Stuart Pearce hoped to make a cheap deal, but it never happened. Nottingham Forest has made several budget acquisitions in recent transfer windows. The success of some of Evangelos Marinakis’ key acquisitions, such as Nikola Milenkovic’s move from Fiorentina, has been crucial to Forest’s push in Europe this season. Milenkovic, who cost Forest £13 million, has established himself as a mainstay in Nuno Espirito Santo’s defense, starting 23 Premier League games with Murillo, another cheap acquisition. In just his second Premier League game since joining from Corinthians, Jamie Redknapp called Murillo a steal. Because of their efforts to Forest being…
There are several injury concerns for Newcastle United before their Premier League matchup against Manchester City.

It has all the makings of a big game, with both teams vying for a top four position. The Magpies enter the match having just defeated Birmingham City in a brutal FA Cup match on Saturday. After a fierce battle, United prevailed 3-2 and advanced to the FA Cup’s fifth round. Players colliding with advertising hoardings, tackles flying in, and plenty of yellow cards were…
