Chelsea Striker Beth England's Player of the Season Award Is a Win for Hard Graft

Less than three years ago, Beth England looked as if she may no longer have a Chelsea future. Fast forward 34 months, and she is suddenly the player the Blues turn to on the biggest occasions. On 14 September 2017, England was shipped out on loan to Liverpool. Her goals had helped fire Doncaster Belles to promotion from the second tier during the 2015 season, and she signed for Chelsea in the following transfer window.

The Curious Case of Alexandre Lacazette: The Striker Back in Form After a Largely Poor Season

Alexandre Lacazette was one of the most exciting signings of the 2017 summer transfer window. Signed to much fanfare after some goal-laden years with Ligue 1 side Lyon, much was expected of the French striker at an Arsenal side looking to reestablish itself as a top side in the Premier League. But since then, he's had a few highs and lows, with some brilliant moments tangled up with some wretched spells in front of goal. He's back in form with three in four following his strike against...

Klopp rejected Bayern 'a few times' for Liverpool

nked Crystal Palace forward Wilfried Zaha is set for another summer of transfer speculation, with teams across Europe readying offers for the Ivorian.

niar Manchester United, Manchester City and Chelsea have all made enquiries to Inter over the possibility of a summer transfer for Slovakian centre-back Milan Skriniar.

‘I will carry Inter forever in my heart’ – PSG’s Hakimi says farewell to I Nerazzurri

At a time in football where £20m will barely get you a 16-year-old English defender's left leg, the value of a pound has become lost. A 'gamble' in the transfer market will these days will force most clubs to take out a second mortgage... or cost £35m and still play week in week out. Cast your mind back little over 20 years and the money clubs would spend on established, or even up and coming talent, is unrecognisable. For Arsenal, the best players ever to don the shirt were bought at a snip....

Hodgson: Why I ordered Zaha to retake Ayew's penalty vs Manchester United

Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp has insisted he is not disappointed to have missed out on setting a new Premier League record points tally. The Reds needed seven points from their final three games to equal Manchester City's record of 100, while nine points would have seen them set a new standard.

Arsenal ended hopes of breaking the record by picking up a 2-1 win They did still set the record for the...

'I have to hear what the management wants first' - FA Selangor boss B. Satiananthan accepts blame for hammering

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has fired a warning to the club's hierarchy, insisting he faces a near-impossible job to bridge the gap to the Premier League's elite without serious financial backing. The Gunners did pick up a 2-1 victory over champions Liverpool on Wednesday, but they are still down in ninth in the Premier League table and face an uphill battle to qualify for the Europa League, let alone the Champions League. #ARSLIV highlights? Oh, go on then! Start your day the right way ?...

Benson Omalla: Gor Mahia complete signing of highly-rated forward from Western Stima

tors Arsenal stunned Liverpool on Wednesday night by capitalising on two glaring errors to record a 2-1 Premier League win over the champions, boosting their European hopes. The visitors nearly took the lead in comical fashion, as Emiliano Martinez's attempted clearance was charged down by Roberto Firmino but, fortunately for the goalkeeper, clipped the post and away to safety. Sadio Mane made no mistake after 20 minutes, latching on to Andrew Robertson's cut back to fire home the opener. For...

Donny van de Beek to Ask for Number 34 at Man Utd & Other Shirt Options

All So, Arsenal hosted Liverpool at the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday night. Wait, sorry, I'll rephrase: tenth place Arsenal hosted Premier League champions Liverpool on Wednesday night with a casual 43 points separating the two sides ahead of kick off. Startling. Who would be tuning in? Well, there are always those who love to watch Arsenal suffer, while there is also the angle of seeing whether Liverpool are actually bothered about breaking top flight records anymore and might get undone by...

When the team sheets came up an hour before kick off, the positive Liverpool fans cranked their expectancy levels up from 3-0 to somewhere around the five-goal mark. Who could blame them?

Who Cristiano Ronaldo is likely to play for during 2021/22 - ranked

Two minutes. That's all the time it took for Leicester City's stuttering season to stop stuttering and burst into flames. With 65 minutes on the clock and Leicester 1-0 up in a crucial encounter against relegation threatened Bournemouth, the vastly experienced Kasper Schmeichel blasted a goal kick straight into Wilfred Ndidi's boney arse. Why you ask? Well, that's a question that I've been asking myself for the past few days. I'm still no closer to an answer. Perhaps the Dane thought it would...
