Trevor Steven: Everton are the Premier League’s most inconsistent team but I’d give manager Marco Silva more time

February 5, 2019

Whenever Everton have taken a step forward this season, it has been followed by a step back. They have a little burst of form but then slip up. Unable to get enough people playing well at the same time often enough, they feel like the Premier League’s most inconsistent team. This campaign has been littered [...]

Marketing agency boss Daniel Macaulay on the world's best surfing spots, why fitness is the new mid-life crisis, and making sport more inclusive. What is your sporting passion?

Sam Torrance: Dustin Johnson and Rickie Fowler lay down their markers for Major sprint

February 4, 2019

Major season feels like something of a sprint this year, with all four taking place within a 15-week spell and finished by 21 July, which means that early form carries a bit of extra significance. With Justin Rose and Bryson DeChambeau already off the mark, Dustin Johnson became the latest player from the world’s top [...]
Five talking points from Sunday’s Premier League matches: Manchester City dispel title doubts, Arsenal losing ground, Paul Pogba and Marcus Rashford inspire Manchester United, Leicester in limbo

February 3, 2019

It took just 50 seconds for Sergio Aguero and Manchester City to dispel the notion that that the midweek defeat at Newcastle was anything other than an aberration; one of those freakish results that even the best teams usually succumb to once a season. City penned in Arsenal, Aymeric Laporte whipped the ball across goal [...]
Trevor Steven: Gonzalo Higuain can save Chelsea’s top four hopes, Ivan Perisic is the boost Arsenal need and Tottenham’s inactivity is mystifying

January 29, 2019

Smart signings are possible in the January transfer window, such as Tottenham’s purchase of Dele Alli from MK Dons in 2015 and Leicester’s recruitment of Riyad Mahrez from Le Havre in 2014, but they don’t tend to be big names. Chelsea’s loan deal for Gonzalo Higuain is one of the few; it’s rare to get [...]

Manchester United have lost their status as the world’s richest club after Real Madrid replaced them at the top of Deloitte’s Football Money League.

Tottenham overtake Juventus and close in on Arsenal in Deloitte Football Money League

January 23, 2019

Tottenham’s emergence as one of Europe’s growing powers is paying dividends off the field, with the club now placed among the top 10 richest football clubs in the world. Spurs overtook Italian giants Juventus to take 10th place in Deloitte’s Football Money League 2019, as revenue leapt to €428.3m (£379.4m) last season from €359.5m in [...]
Trevor Steven: Wolves have Nuno Espirito Santo and super-agent Jorge Mendes to thank for their successful return to the Premier League

January 22, 2019

Wolves are having a tremendous first season back in the Premier League. Currently eighth in the table and, with just 23 games gone, already nearing a points tally that should end any lingering worries about relegation; they have taken the momentum of their promotion campaign and maintained it in the top flight. Their impressive manager [...]
Why have Premier League clubs made so few signings in the January 2019 transfer window?

January 21, 2019

On the field, the action continues to come thick and fast in the Premier League. Liverpool and Manchester City remain locked in a title race of the highest quality, there are compelling battles both to finish in the top four and to avoid relegation, and the most recent round of fixtures saw not one but [...]
Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri has chosen a dangerous time to gamble on his criticism provoking a positive reaction

January 20, 2019

Conventional wisdom dictates that football managers shouldn’t criticise their players in public. Point out their flaws, tear strips off them and give them the hairdryer treatment behind closed doors, but in front of the cameras it’s generally regarded as counter-productive. Maurizio Sarri has never been one for convention, though. The Chelsea manager, who had a [...]
