The English Football League have ruled that Sheffield Wednesday will start the 2020/21 season on -12 points after being found guilty of breaching Profit and Sustainability regulations. The club were first charged back in November 2019 after being accused of including the sale of their Hillsborough stadium in their 2017/18 accounts, despite the fact that the ground was actually sold a year later. Hillsborough was sold in 2019 A full hearing was held in June, and the EFL have now confirmed on...

2020 The most bizarre season of the Premier League is finally at an end; just under a year after it started. At one point we were staring at the bleak possibility of being introduced to Mr Null and Mrs Void, but thankfully we salvaged the finale and it largely didn't disappoint. When Project Restart kicked into gear, there were plenty of changes and football looked a bit...well, weird. We all got over it eventually and the teams did too, with some decent games emerging from the early rather...

It may have been an awful 2020 so far, but one thing that's sure to brighten the mood - slightly - is the opening of the summer transfer window. With the next few months ready to be filled with transfer sagas, rumours, and downright lies, one club front and centre is Manchester United. Despite the window having been open for a matter of days, United have already been linked with a plethora of top talent, including Jadon Sancho and Raúl Jiménez. Yet while Sancho remains the real top target for...

Ah, the FA Cup. The magic of the FA Cup. It's an exhilarating ride, and this one is set to come to an end on Saturday when Chelsea meet London rivals Arsenal at Wembley. In the not-too-distant past, that wouldn't have been a daunting prospect for Chelsea. The FA Cup was the Blues' tournament. Wembley was their playground. Didier Drogba was king. Between 2006 and 2012, Chelsea lifted the cup no less than four times, and they also reached the semi-final in 2013. If there was one team you didn't...

Three years on, it's happening again. Arsenal and Chelsea will meet in this season's FA Cup final on Saturday in a repeat of the 2017 showpiece, and also roughly a year on from their Europa League final showdown in Baku. Wembley will play host to the 139th final in the competition, but who will secure the prize this time is anyone's guess. We looked back in the archive with @PayPalUK to revisit @Arsenal & @ChelseaFC's last Final meeting... ⚽️ The same referee ? One super substitution ? A...

Philippe Coutinho: love him or loathe him, it's hard not to feel a little sorry for him. He had plans to leave Liverpool in his dust, but soon found himself overtaken by the Reds on their way to the top of the European football ladder; a sequence of events which has him already dreaming of a return to the club he once felt he had outgrown. The series of decisions he has made in the meantime have resembled something from an elaborate Monty Python sketch. Despite winning league titles with...

Manchester United are back. Well, almost. Things are starting to look a little brighter under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, with the Old Trafford faithful more positive having previously been treated to some turgid football from old managers David Moyes, Louis van Gaal and Jose Mourinho. It's been over seven years since the Red Devils last won the Premier League under legendary manager Sir Alex Ferguson, but they're creeping closer towards the benchmark the Scot set during his time in Manchester. But...

West Ham remain interested in signing Barcelona's Moussa Wagué this summer, with one report stating he is close to a move away from Camp Nou. The Senegal international joined the Catalan giants from K.A.S Eupen back in 2018 but has failed to make the grade in La Liga. The 21-year-old was promoted to the first-team under former manager Ernesto Valverde, yet his struggles saw him sent out on loan to Ligue 1 side OGC Nice for the second half of the season. Wague made just five appearances for...

It sounds weird to say there's hope for Arsenal fans after their eighth-placed finish, but...there is? Kinda? A bit? They looked a much more potent attacking side after the mid-season restart, while being much improved at the back. That's about all you can ask from a football team. Here's an evaluation of the Gunners' 2019/20 season (so far), with an overall grade for the report card... League Performance Premier League - Eighth Arsenal started the season under Unai Emery, whose good start...

It has been almost a year since Moise Kean joined Everton, a signing which sparked excitement in the blue half of Merseyside. The second youngest goalscorer in Italian national team history, his time at Juventus placed a lot of expectation on the Italian starlet's shoulders. Eight goals for the Italian champions in 21 games, two goals in two Italy internationals. All as a teenager. His debut season in England didn't go to plan, ending with just two goals in 33 (25 from the bench) appearances...

Leicester City hope to begin talks to sign Fenerbahce striker Vedat Muriqi, as Brendan Rodgers looks to bolster his squad ahead of next season. The Kosovo international joined the Turkish giants last summer and scored 15 league goals this season as his side finished a disappointing fifth in the Super Lig. The 26-year-old has previously been linked with a move to the Premier League following impressive performances in Turkey, and came to wider attention when he scored against England European...

Let's face it, Italian clubs are usually skint. No matter who they are, what they've won and who they're owned by, they love a deal that doesn't involve a fixed transfer fee (or better, a swap deal disguised as an unrelated purchase and sale that puts money on the books, see: Arthur/Pjanic). With Daniel Levy equally as keen to keep the budget tight where possible at Spurs, a deal between themselves and Inter could either be a match made in heaven. Or a complete disaster. With Antonio Conte's...

cial Exclusive - Former Tottenham midfielder Rafael van der Vaart has revealed his favourite moments in a Spurs shirt and how he cemented himself as a modern-day Lilywhite legend due to his impressive record against bitter rivals Arsenal. The Dutchman joined Spurs from Real Madrid on deadline day in the summer of 2010, signing for a mere £9.5m. He'd go on to enjoy two fruitful seasons in N17 - registering 46 goal contributions in 77 appearances - before the exit of Harry Redknapp and the...

mmer At a time when some of Europe's top clubs are still trying to figure out just how badly they have been impacted financially by the coronavirus, Chelsea have been making real moves in the transfer market as Frank Lampard looks to build a squad capable of challenging for league titles. Hakim Ziyech agreed to a summer switch back in February, and Timo Werner has followed – even forgoing the end of a Champions League campaign with RB Leipzig to come over sooner. That's two major signings...

ndit Exclusive - Rafael van der Vaart has refused to backtrack on his recent assessment of Manchester United defender Harry Maguire - insisting his criticism is nothing personal. The Dutchman previously labelled Maguire as England's "worst player on the pitch" during their UEFA Nations League semi-final defeat to the Netherlands last June, and compared the centre-back to an amateur Sunday league player early in the 2019/20 season. His latest critique of the £80m man came after United's 5-2...

There's a lot to dislike about strikers if you think about it. They always get the glory, most of them don't seem to do much running and they can often be prima donnas on the pitch. However, it's probably fair that they get cut a fair amount of slack as it's the most challenging position on the pitch. Centre-forwards spend most of their time isolated from their teammates, knowing that any missed chances will be greeted with a maelstrom of abuse from the crowd. At the turn of the last decade it...

Few can ever begin to imagine the thoughts racing through Virgil van Dijk's mind when it was his turn to lift the Premier League trophy a few weeks ago. Surrounded by the tight-knit band of team-mates he had just led into battle against Chelsea and watched on by an immeasurable awestruck TV audience, the Dutchman embarked on the crowning moment of a career that never seemed likely. About a week ago! ?? pic.twitter.com/PO15z337UO — Virgil van Dijk (@VirgilvDijk) July 30, 2020 He's now the best...

Newcastle remain keen on bringing in free agent Ryan Fraser this summer, with the Scottish winger set to decide his future soon. Fraser made 28 Premier League appearances for Bournemouth in 2019/20, but his time with the club ended on a sour note as he refused to sign a short-term extension to his contract in order to complete the campaign with the Cherries. We can also confirm that Ryan Fraser has declined to sign a short-term contract extension. #afcb ?https://t.co/JEsuO4juxW — AFC...

Juventus bring their 2019/20 league campaign to an end at home to Roma, where they will officially be crowned Serie A champions for a ninth consecutive time. Despite it sounding like complete dominance on paper, this season's Italian top flight has been closer than ever. Inter, Atalanta and Lazio have all given the champions a run for their money, but none could mount enough momentum to knock the Old Lady off their perch. In an up and down season for Maurizio Sarri that's seen his side succumb...
