By Jack Gallagher FROM THE AVIVA STADIUM - What is the greatest season in European football of all time? Well, Manchester United's 1999/00 treble triumph is in with a shout, as are Manchester City's treble winners of 2022/23. Barcelona's 2010/11 campaign wasn't half bad either, with Lionel Messi, Xavi Hernandez (before he was just an extraordinarily angry man on the touchline) and Andres Iniesta running the show, and putting a pretty damn good Manchester United side to the sword at Wembley Stadium in an all-time great UEFA Champions League final. If we're to go way back in time, AC Milan's 199...

By Tom Gott Chelsea are back on the hunt for a new manager after parting ways with Mauricio Pochettino. The Argentine leaves Chelsea after just 11 months in charge, having led the team back to European football and won over a large number of his critics. Just one normal day of Chelsea, that's all we're asking for. While Chelsea fans wait for Cesc Fabregas to complete his coaching badges and become Mikel Arteta 2.0, here are eight potential targets to replace Mauricio Pochettino. Sebastian HoenessBayer Leverkusen's dominance of the Bundesliga overshadowed the ridiculous job done by Sebastian Ho...

By Jamie Spencer Liverpool didn't finish Jurgen Klopp's reign exactly how they would have envisaged when the legendary boss announced in January his planned summer departure. At the time, the Reds were targeting a quadruple. They soon landed the Carabao Cup, but FA Cup elimination by Manchester United, a Europa League humbling at the hands of Atalanta, and a drop in Premier League form from April onwards left the club with a single trophy in 2023/24. Regardless, that is better than most and Klopp's side still recorded a comfortable top three finish, were fewer than ten points off eventual cham...

By Katie Catherall Arsenal were unable to end their 20-year Premier League trophy drought in the 2023/24 season, but there was still much for the Gunners to be proud of. As the season drew to a close, it seemed like a team had arrived who could challenge Pep Guardiola's Manchester City side to lift league silverware - but alas, Mikel Arteta's side proved that some dreams are too high to reach. It was a campaign of insane growth though, as the squad recorded their second-highest ever points tally, behind only the Invincibles, and boasted the best defensive record in the league. "We want much mo...

By Tom Gott Chelsea have done 'a Chelsea'. The Blues have parted ways with manager Mauricio Pochettino after only 11 months in charge, with crucial disagreements in his end-of-season review ultimately leading to a parting of ways. Nothing is ever simple at Stamford Bridge, is it? Predictably, social media went a little crazy with the news. After just a few months of the 2023/24 season, this conclusion seemed inevitable as Chelsea continued to struggle on the pitch and Pochettino found himself at odds with a large number of fans because of his Tottenham roots. However, 2024 saw a major upturn i...

By Hannah Pinnock Chelsea and Manchester City produced one of the closest WSL title races in recent history as they were separated by goal difference on the final day. Emma Hayes’ side made it an impressive five titles on the bounce following their 6-0 hammering of Manchester United, while City could only manage a much narrower 2-1 win over Aston Villa. With Chelsea crowned champions, City and Arsenal secured the remaining European places. Bristol City, on the other hand, lasted just one campaign back in the top flight as their relegation was confirmed back in April. The 2023/24 campaign produ...

By Tom Gott Gareth Southgate's latest England squad is in it's safe to say that, once again, it has divided opinion. His 33-man preliminary squad for this summer's European Championships includes a handful of bold calls but, perhaps most importantly, omits some serious names. Most striking is the absence of Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford. Joining Rashford outside the squad is Ajax midfielder Jordan Henderson, whose return from Saudi Arabia to try and save his international future has not gone to plan. Adam Wharton, Curtis Jones and Eberechi Eze are among the young names looking to t...

By Tom Gott It would be a serious understatement to say that the 2023/24 was a weird old season for Chelsea. The Blues, under the management of new boss Mauricio Pochettino, threatened to go completely off the rails after another manic summer of spending, only to rally in the final few months to secure a place in next season's Europa League - assuming Manchester City do them a favour and beat Manchester United in the FA Cup final. It was also a year that saw one of English football's brightest young talents string together one of the best debuts campaigns on record. Here's a look back at the r...

By Jack Gallagher Liverpool have officially appointed their Jurgen Klopp replacement, with Arne Slot set to take the reigns on June 1. The appointment of the Feyenoord boss, who enjoyed a thoroughly successful spell at De Kuip, has caused quite the stir on social media. A good stir though, as many Liverpool fans are notably delighted with the appointment of the Eredivisie and KNVB Cup-winning manager... Even Jurgen Klopp hasn't been able to contain his excitement, giving Liverpool fans the gift of a wonderful new chant to usher in the new manager and a new era at Anfield... And, judging by X, ...

By Toby Cudworth Another Premier League season is in the books. Manchester City are still champions after winning the division for a record fourth successive time, Liverpool are now Jurgen Klopp-less after his shock resignation, Arsenal are still the nearly team of the Premier League, and Manchester United are, well, Manchester United. 2023/24 also saw Aston Villa rise from European hopefuls into Champions League participants and Chelsea, under the guidance of Mauricio Pochettino, seemingly get their sh*t together after months and months (and months) of complete and utter carnage. We also said...
