🎙️What in the world of Weatherspoon’s is going on at Wolves? Coaching chaos, bad buys, creaking stadium, no wins. They’re drifting. Fosun says they’re not for sale…the market isn’t so sure.

Watching the match at the Emirates today, and it seemed the new total 90 ball moved differently when the Arsenal players kicked it. Or maybe that was just me?
Arsenal’s 15-game unbeaten Premier League run came to an end as West Ham thwarted their attempt to reduce the gap at the top of the table.

Today represented a chance for Arsenal to increase the pressure on Liverpool, but they could not capitalise.

Rasmus Hojlund struggled against Fulham, like he has for much of this season.

He has been starved of quality service throughout the campaign. How can Ruben Amorim and Manchester United unlock the potential of a player who could end up costing £72m?
