Newcastle United’s Champions League chase is back on track. On Sunday, the Magpies beat Nottingham Forest 4-3 in a thoroughly entertaining clash at St James’ Park, with all of the home side’s goals coming during an 11-minute first-half spree; Lewis Miley and Jacob Murphy on target, before Alexander Isak struck twice. Despite having lost three of their previous four Premier League games beforehand, Eddie Howe’s team have moved back up to fifth, thereby occupying the final Champions League spot, ahead of Wednesday’s Carabao Cup Final dress rehearsal, facing champions-elect Liverpool at Anfield. The Toon Army certainly have a strong side…

FSG, the owners of Liverpool, excels in maximising margins, controlling costs, and making data-driven decisions. It is difficult to be objective in a sport that is so emotionally driven. But FSG approaches everything with the cool rationalism that has helped them build a sports empire worth around £15 billion. This similar analytical approach upsets many Liverpool fans, despite the fact that Arne Slot’s side leads the Premier League by 11 points in a season that was projected to be a transitional one. Liverpool will finish the season with a positive net spend and may lose Mohamed Salah, who is dominating…
Rangers have recruited Barry Ferguson till the end of the season, but they are already looking for their new permanent manager.

Forest are ready to play Arsenal in the Premier League following their loss to Newcastle United.

Mohamed Salah grabbed extra attention for Liverpool on Sunday. The Egypt international scored and assisted in another Premier League game, his 11th of the season, bringing his total to 25 goals and 16 assists in just 27 matches. Jamie Carragher, Micah Richards, Daniel Sturridge, and Roy Keane discussed the Liverpool No.11’s chances of winning the Ballon d’Or while praising him on Sky Sports. Carragher, perhaps stupidly, joked that Mohamed Salah had never played in a major international event, scoffing when the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) was presented to him in response, a moment to which Richard Keys has now…
