West Ham’s poor start to the 2025-26 Premier League season has left Graham Potter under serious pressure. Despite being brought in to steady things and build long term, the results have been underwhelming: heavy defeats, defensive frailties, and a fanbase growing increasingly restless. Bookmakers now list him as the front-runner to be the next Premier League manager to lose his job. According to OddsChecker, Potter is currently the 4/6 favourite in the “Next Manager To Leave Post” market for t

Graham Potter finds himself under mounting pressure at West Ham United after a disastrous start to the Premier League season. The Hammers’ new manager, brought in to steady the ship and usher in a fresh era in January last season, is already facing serious questions over his future with results failing to convince either supporters or the club’s hierarchy. Potter’s tenure has been marked by flat performances and a lack of cutting edge in both boxes. One win in the first four games, on top of an

Ipswich Town manager Kieran McKenna was a surprise guest in the West Ham United boardroom during their 3-0 Premier League defeat to Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday, sources have told Football Insider. McKenna, dressed casually in a jacket and jeans, was invited to the London Stadium for the London derby, sparking fresh speculation over his future. His appearance came less than 24 hours after his Ipswich side thrashed Sheffield United 5-0 in the Championship. McKenna Tipped as Leading Candidate

It's what being a supporter is all about isn't it? Jumping the gun, making outlandish claims that one team is destined for glory whilst the other couldn't compete with your Sunday League side; predictions and making conclusions are an integral part of fan culture. So here's some conclusions after four gameweeks of Premier League football (that will no doubt all be wrong come May). The Champions keep their throne Hardly a bold claim but despite underperforming by their own admittance, Liverp

Tottenham Hotspur kicked off their Champions League campaign with a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Villarreal on September 16, 2025, at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. In a match defined by defensive resilience and opportunistic attacking play, 19-year-old Swedish sensation Lucas Bergvall emerged as the unlikely hero, capitalizing on a goalkeeper error to secure the win. Post-match analysis on Amazon Prime Sport saw Wayne Rooney and Michael Carrick showering praise on the young midfielder's forwar

Arsenal opened their UEFA Champions League campaign in style with a 2-0 win away at Athletic Bilbao on Tuesday night. The story of the match wasn’t just the result but the impact of two substitutes, Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard, who came off the bench to turn the game. Trossard replaced Viktor Gyökeres in the 65th minute, and just six minutes later, Martinelli came on for Eberechi Eze. Within half a minute of entering the pitch, the Brazilian made the difference. Trossard slipped him

A Tale of Two Clubs In English football, the margins between survival and relegation are measured in points, goals, and sometimes even inches. For Burnley in the 2021-22 season, the margin was four points. A single win might have kept them in the Premier League, securing another year of top-flight revenue, prestige, and the ability to attract players capable of taking the club forward. Instead, Burnley dropped into the Championship. For a club of modest means, that relegation was a financial e

The Professional Footballers’ Association (PFA) has intervened in Chelsea’s handling of Raheem Sterling and Axel Disasi, with both players currently training away from the first team after being frozen out by head coach Enzo Maresca, as per the BBC. Sterling and Disasi were both expected to leave Stamford Bridge during the summer transfer window, having been made available for transfer early on. Yet while other members of Chelsea’s so-called “bomb squad”, including established names such like B

Daniel Farke faced the media on Thursday afternoon, ahead of Leeds United's match against Wolves on Saturday. Here is everything he had to say. Team news: "We have a few doubts. James is a major doubt. He's still struggling a bit with hit in core muscle. Gnonto is a doubt with calf problems. Missed a few sessions. Will be a late call." On our lack of goals: "We need to stay calm. First step is to be rock solid and difficult to beat . We played good last away game at Fulham. Normally if this

Sunderland’s ambitious recruitment drive may not be over just yet. Despite a busy summer window that saw the arrivals of Omar Alderete, Nordi Mukiele, and Arthur Masuaku, the Black Cats remain firmly in pursuit of their top defensive target: Colombian international Jhon Lucumí. The 27-year-old Bologna centre-back was heavily linked with a move to Wearside during the summer, but the Serie A club held firm, refusing to part ways with one of their key assets. Now, as January approaches, Sunderland

In the high-stakes world of Premier League football, where young talents can skyrocket to stardom overnight, Tottenham Hotspur's latest signing is turning heads. Lucas Bergvall, the 18-year-old Swedish midfielder, has drawn glowing comparisons to one of the game's brightest stars: Real Madrid's Jude Bellingham. Former Spurs winger David Bentley, speaking on talkSPORT's Inside Spurs podcast, didn't hold back in his praise, labelling Bergvall a "Bellingham type" for his fearless forward runs and

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim is under increasing pressure after a poor start to the 2025/26 Premier League season, despite heavy investment in the summer transfer window. United have won just one of their opening four league games and suffered a humiliating Carabao Cup first-round exit to fourth-tier Grimsby Town. The disappointing run continued with a 3-0 defeat to Manchester City in the derby, further raising doubts about Amorim’s suitability for the job. Ruben Amorim’s Struggles
