According to Paul Robinson, Dan James’ hamstring injury will be a “huge blow” for Leeds United as they strive to climb the Championship standings.

Luis Suarez’s Anfield stay was brief but delicious, and the Uruguayan flourished in difficult circumstances – but his spectacular peak means he absolutely must be in any definitive Liverpool XI. Jamie Carragher was the latest guy to sit in the Stick to Football hot seat, and he was given the unenviable task of picking his all-time Liverpool starting lineup. Given the vast number of outstanding players Liverpool has produced over the years, Carragher had a difficult time deciding on a final lineup, disputing with himself who the goalkeeper, left back, and right winger should be. Carragher eventually went with Ray…

Leeds United fans are right to be upset after the EFL changed the kick-off time for their Championship match against Blackburn Rovers. The Whites will travel to Ewood Park on Saturday, November 30th, with a 1:30pm start time rather than 3pm.

Supporters are right to be upset with the league organizers for making such a late change after making the schedule available two months ago. Leeds United fans rightly annoyed with EFL Blackburn Rovers announcement It is safe to say that…
Former Nottingham Forest player Brennan Johnson has been the victim of vitriol with his new club Tottenham Hotspur this week. Brennan Johnson, a former Nottingham Forest favourite, has recently experienced a tornado of extraordinary highs and lows. From social media criticism to a match-winning goal, and even calls to return to the City Ground, he has seen it all. £47.5 million is a hefty transfer fee for someone who was only 22 years old at the time, as if Premier League footballers weren’t already under enough pressure to perform. Strong doubters may have even commented that it was a move…

Zubimendi was expected to sign a new contract in San Sebastian. However, Estadio Deportivo adds that the Spain star, who helped his team to Euro 2024 triumph, has ‘decided to…
Nottingham Forest had a successful transfer window, with the club addressing a number of issues within the squad. Olympiacos welcomed eleven new players, two of whom – Marko Stamenic and David Carmo – signed season-long loan deals. The most significant statistic was that almost 20 players were offloaded, including last year’s dismal loans, all of whom returned to their clubs, indicating that clearing the decks was necessary. Another Forest player, Anthony Elanga, was linked with a move to Newcastle on transfer deadline day, but Forest maintained their £50 million value. That interest may persist, and if he leaves in January…
Archie Gray’s first start for Tottenham was an entertaining Carabao Cup affair in which Spurs eventually defeated Coventry City, but he still looked like a Leeds player after the game. The 18-year-old joined Tottenham from Leeds at the beginning of July for a fee of £40 million. However, a quarter of that cash was immediately returned to Spurs for the permanent purchase of player Joe Rodon. However, Gray has been forced to wait several minutes at Tottenham. He appeared in Spurs’ first two Premier League games against Leicester and Everton, but was benched against Newcastle United and Arsenal. On Wednesday…
