Manchester United say 5% season-ticket price increase needed to ‘return to top of game’ Manchester United said: ‘We want to keep investing in the team,’ but the United supporters group said it was disappointed with the decision

The price increase is bad enough and then there’s the relocation of 600 fans so more hospitality seats can be put in. People who will have built up friendships where they sit, probably also love the view, shafted in the name of greed. A pure and utter disgrace.

Prem: Relegation scrapped as league switches to franchise-style model The Prem aims to expand to 12 teams by 2029-30, but new entrants will be judged on a range of criteria, rather than winning promotion on the pitch.

Benjamin Sesko and Senne Lammens give Man Utd real hope of Champions League return Striker Benjamin Sesko and goalkeeper Senne Lammens are the key figures as Manchester United gain a hugely valuable Premier League win at Everton.

Manchester United are now reaching the precarious point of having to give the full-time gig to the popular supply teacher.

Haven't we seen all this before?...

What a brilliant job Pressley is doing. Many were bemused by his appointment after so many years away from front-line management.
Full credit to the Dundee hierarchy, whose presence and patience in a storm of ridicule and abuse is being vindicated.

Steel City derby symbolic scene for Sheffield Wednesday’s fall from grace Club’s relegation could be sealed at Bramall Lane on Sunday but long-term future is of most concern to supporters

Imagine being relegated in February at the home of your biggest rivals. That is the nightmare scenario facing Sheffield Wednesday this lunchtime. But ahead of the trip to Bramall Lane their fans have bigger things to worry about. Namely the club’s very existence.

Harry Kane's unassuming professionalism is completely incongruous with modern football's solipsistic zeitgeist.

Many in the game could learn a lot from him.

#HarryKane

An amazing achievement by an amazing player. Great role model for any young footballer.

The only minor tragedy of this tale is that he never found his way back to Elland Road. What a beautiful way to book-end a sensational career that would have been.

The problem is not what's being said, but who is saying it.

This man has been a willing and exorbitantly remunerated propaganda tool for the perpetrators of human rights abuses for a decade.

He either doesn't see the contradiction or he's choosing to ignore it.

A hypocrite and a coward.

Pep Guardiola: Man City boss asks 'why should I not express how I feel?' Pep Guardiola defended his stance of speaking up about global conflicts by asking,

It's got nothing to do with being a manager and everything to do with being a cowardly hypocrite given who pays your exorbitant wages.
