Mauricio Pochettino has not minced words in addressing the shortcomings of the Chelsea board, suggesting that improvements are needed from all quarters to instigate change at the club. Amidst mounting criticism from supporters and the team’s underwhelming performance this season, the former Tottenham Hotspur manager appears weary of shouldering sole responsibility. With Chelsea languishing in ninth place in the Premier League and already out of domestic cup competitions, their sole objective remains securing a European spot. Failure to achieve this would undoubtedly label the campaign as one of the club’s worst in recent memory. As the season reaches its climax,…

Khadija ‘Bunny’ Shaw is set to miss the rest of the season with a foot injury in what is a huge blow to Manchester City’s Women’s Super League (WSL) title hopes. The striker scored a first-half brace in the Blues’ 5-0 rout of West Ham United on Sunday afternoon before picking up the problem on the stroke of half-time. She was replaced at the break by England international Chloe Kelly and could be seen on crutches at the full-time whistle with her foot in a protective boot. City boss Gareth Taylor was initially quick to downplay the severity of Shaw’s…

It was hard to argue Pep Guardiola was wrong. The amount of professional football played at the very elite level since the start of the 2022/23 season has been astonishing, bordering on unprecedented. The reasons are extensive. The winter World Cup in Qatar, the creation of UEFA’s Nations League and City’s participation in the Club World Cup have all contributed to a sense of overkill. It is causing fatigue among players and the scariest bit is there’s worse to come. An expanded Champions League, a 48-team World Cup, you know the drill. Scrapping FA Cup replays? That won’t even scratch…

Bernardo Silva’s future remains the subject of much speculation. But, a new report indicates that Barcelona is not willing to pay the release clause in Bernardo’s contract. If that remains the case, it could potentially see Bernardo stay at the club this summer. Toni Juanmartí has reported for Spanish publication SPORT that signing Bernardo Silva isn’t a priority for Barcelona. Furthermore, Juanmartí reports that the Catalan club believes that the £50 million release clause in Bernardo’s contract is excessive. Also included in Juanmartí’s report is that a decision on Bernardo Silva’s future will be made by his camp when this…

Manchester City could have their talismanic striker Erling Haaland back in their team to face Nottingham Forest in the Premier League this weekend after Pep Guardiola’s hint. The Norwegian forward was missing from the squad that faced Brighton and Hove Albion on Thursday night after he continued to recover from a muscle injury. Haaland was replaced during the Champions League quarter-final defeat to Real Madrid and missed the following clash with Chelsea in the FA Cup semi-finals. However, Haaland’s stint on the sidelines could be over on Sunday after Guardiola dropped a promising hint on Thursday evening. The City boss…

Manchester City are back to within striking distance of Arsenal after a comfortable victory over Brighton and Hove Albion. The match was over as a contest inside 35 minutes as Kevin De Bruyne’s diving header coupled with a Phil Foden brace had the South Coast club firmly on the ropes. Julian Alvarez concluded the scoring on 62 minutes as City secured their three points. City’s victory moves them to within a point of leaders Arsenal and also gave the Blues a much-needed boost to their goal difference which stands at +48 compared to the Gunners’ +56.

Manchester City have 115 charges over alleged breaches of the Premier League’s financial rules hanging over their head. The club were charged in February 2023 for breaching the league’s Financial Fair Play (FFP) rules during a nine-year period between 2009 and 2018. City strongly deny these charges and an independent commission is set to review the case. In the meantime, both Nottingham Forest and Everton have been charged for breaching the league’s FFP rules. Forest were docked four points while Everton were initially deducted 10 points before it was reduced to six on appeal. The Toffees were charged for a…

Premier League footballers Michail Antonio and Tom Cairney have expressed their disbelief at Mauricio Pochettino’s pre-match comments ahead of Chelsea’s defeat to Arsenal. The Argentine’s comments have been put under the microscope after he urged his team to step up and prove they weren’t “Cole Palmer FC.” The comments backfired spectacularly as the Blues turned in arguably their worst performance of the season against their rivals. The 52 year old’s comments about Palmer have been met with confusion, given Chelsea’s over reliance on the 21-year-old, and before the Arsenal Pochhettio said: “It is a good challenge if Palmer is not…

Chelsea have identified a new problem area, and have shortlisted four players to fill it this summer, according to the latest reports. Pochettino poses problem Mauricio Pochettino finally seems to have had enough of being the fall guy at Stamford Bridge, and took aim at his own players after the heavy thrashing by Arsenal in midweek. His side were torn apart 5-0 in the Premier League by the title-challenging Gunners, and the Argentine admitted that his side gave up, having ended the game in a back five with veteran Thiago Silva having to be sent on to stem the tide.…
