30 November 2019 - Chelsea were poor, sloppy and wasteful as they fell 1-0 to Manuel Pellegrini's West Ham United. It meant back-to-back defeats for Frank Lampard and pretty much sparked the inconsistency which has plagued the Blues' season. For West Ham, it marked the end of a seven-game winless run and proved that the Hammers do actually have the talent to hang with the best, even if they like to keep that talent hidden deep down a little too often. The two sides will meet again on Wednesday...

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has warned his squad that he will not hesitate to replace any of them if they fail to improve on this season's inconsistent form.

Barcelona are contemplating sacking manager Quique Setién if the club fall further behind in the La Liga title race this week. La Blaugrana were leading La Liga before football was suspended, but recent draws against Sevilla and strugglers Celta Vigo have seen the team fall two points behind Zinedine Zidane's Real Madrid with six games remaining, prompting plenty of reports that Setién's time at Camp Nou could come to an end this summer. Barcelona drew 2-2 with Celta Vigo However, Catalunya...

As the ball plummeted from the stratosphere towards earth on a frosty afternoon in Ferrara, few of us anticipated the moment of magic that was to follow. Supporters in row Z ducked for cover, while S.P.A.L. defenders threw their bodies into the line of fire, hoping to deny Lazio's Luis Alberto a speculative crack at goal. The Spaniard lined up a cannonball, but just as the entire world simultaneously flinched, he took that blinking of an eye to offer a shimmy of the hips, stop the ball dead,...

News Antonio Conte's Inter continue their dwindling Serie A title challenge with the visit of relegation-threatened Brescia to San Siro on Wednesday evening.

Derby County defender Andre Wisdom is in a 'stable' condition after he was stabbed during an incident of robbery while visiting a relative at the weekend. The 27-year-old former Reds youth-team graduate, who made 22 first-team appearances before joining Derby on a permanent deal in 2017, was reportedly attacked while getting out of his car in Toxteth, Merseyside.

ence Burnley moved to within touching distance over the European places with a 1-0 win over Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Monday evening. In a game starved of clear cut opportunities, Ashley Westwood's wicked, in-swinging corner and Dwight McNeil's driving run and strike from the edge of the box were the Clarets' only moments of note in the first half, while at the other end, James McArthur was unable to cleanly connect with a dangerous Joel Ward cross. The deadlock was eventually broken...

While Valverde's was an equally divisive figure at Barcelona, he did leave with the club top of the table, having delivered consecutive league titles. Setien's Barça are now two points behind Real Madrid in the title...

José Mourinho's famously ruthless approach to management has earned him no shortage of trophies over his career, guiding him to league titles with four different clubs, and European titles with three. The downside, however, is that it has also seen him drop a few clangers on the transfer front. Has he dropped so many clangers that you can pick an entire Mourinho clanger starting XI? Well... 1. GK - Petr Cech Cech is the most high-profile goalkeeper let go by Mourinho OK so actually they're not...

Quique Setien's side took the lead twice, though agonisingly settled for a draw in the dying embers of the match.

Barça face their toughest test since the restart as they host an...

Players leave clubs in search of silverware all the time. It's totally normal. However, for Arsenal, it's turned into a bit of a curse. The Gunners have been on a steady decline for a good (or bad) few years now, and they have seen plenty of their top stars jump ship to go and win trophies elsewhere, all while Arsenal have been restricted to the odd FA Cup. Arsenal fans don't really like talking about it, but there's no denying that there have been a whole lot of former players who have gone...
