English football 2025-26

I have to say that Sunderland are having one hell of a season

They haven't lost a home fixture all season and of the teams at the top end of the table they beat Chelsea away, managed to not lose at home to Villa, Arsenal and Man City, drew with Liverpool at Anfield and, of course, they beat the hated enemy

I'd not heard of Regis Le Bris until last year, but he's done a remarkable job, especially given that he's had to integrate a host of new players into the side in a very short period of time, find ways of playing that allow them to compete with the top teams and cope with losing umpteen of his new players to the AFCON during the packed festive schedule in the league. Terrific!

SJP sang Keegan's name all through the match against Leeds tonight

probably fitting that it turned out to be a 4-3 classic with Newcastle coming back late on to snatch a thrilling victory after some obligatory awful early defending

could almost have been scripted by King Kev, that

Aston villa and Manchester City both drew again.

Not exactly putting pressure on Arsenal.

Pulled one back in the 89th minute, great free kick! 6 mins of stoppage time to be played

[Durhamfootman]

Do knock the defending champions out. Nervy at the end though

[Durhamfootman]

Dear Lord, it's hard work supporting Newcastle

*modded* me!

twice in 3 bloody days

[Gingerfinch]

Enjoyed the Spurs - Villa game last night. A game of two halves as they say.

city scored 10 with 10 different scorers. When was the last time this happened?

[Durhamfootman]

and none of them Haaland

Man City prepare for the league cup semi with a nice little run out and lots of gentle rotation, whereas Newcastle prepare for it with the second lung busting epic in 3 days and yet more players going down injured

hey ho.... I gave them no chance against Arsenal last year and they went out and beat them 4-0 over the 2 legs, so what do I know
