9 h. ago Football Daily | It’s a right royal rumble down at the bottom of the Championship

Sign up now! Sign up now! Sign up now? Sign up now!While the last of this season’s three Premier League relegation spots was confirmed the moment referee John Brooks blew his whistle to signal the end of the Championship playoff final between Leeds and Southampton 11 months ago, the late scramble to avoid the bottom three in the second tier has been thrilling by comparison. It couldn’t not be, given that five of the six teams battling to stay out of the two remaining places in the drop zone at stumps on Saturday have each notched up more than the 10 victories Southampton, Leicester and Ipswich have managed between them.I told them, and I’m not exaggerating here, ‘Guys, bring your boots, bring your shorts, bring your T-shirts, and let’s play every ball together. We want to do something special’. That place has to be something that we haven’t seen before” – John Sitton Mikel Arteta apparently wants Arsenal fans to go the full John Terry when they take on PSG in the first leg of their ...

4 d. ago Football Daily | So much football! This weekend, two screens might not be enough

Sign up now! Sign up now! Sign up now? Sign up now!Some phrases are commonised so quickly that it’s easy to forget how new they are. The concept of the second-screen experience wasn’t regularly discussed on these pages until 2012; a decade later it is much a part of our lives as privately WISHING TO HELL YOU’D PUT THAT BLOODY TABLET DOWN AND LISTEN TO THE DIALOGUE PROPERLY – IT’S CASSAVETES! But never mind the second-screen experience. We’re now moving towards the age of the second first-screen experience, in which a dopamine fiend watches two football matches/episodes of Dawson’s Creek simultaneously. We know this because, for the last few years, Football Daily has been that dopamine fiend. This weekend, two screens might not be enough.It took me a while to get used to it and unfortunately I couldn’t continue. It was really a matter of the altitude.

2 w. ago Football Daily | Mohamed Salah’s new deal and why Liverpool might need a bigger throne

Sign up now! Sign up now! Sign up now? Sign up now!Short of Everton being docked 20 points and their new Bramley Moore Dock sinking to the bottom of the Mersey without trace overnight, it’s difficult to imagine any news putting more of a spring in the step of Liverpool fans than the announcement that Mohamed Salah’s new contract until 2027. The Egyptian is one of three Liverpool stalwarts who were due to become free agents at the end of this season but is almost certainly the one whose replica shirt fans were least likely to set fire to in performative Instachat videos. While the nitty-gritty of the 32-year-old’s new deal have not been disclosed, he has not taken a pay cut from his basic £350,000 weekly stipend, although it is believed he earns nearer £1m per week when various side-projects such as image rights, sponsorship deals and a window-cleaning round are taken into account.I’m sure they’re regretting that now.

3 w. ago Football Daily | Bayer Leverkusen and a shock that put another L in their debit column

Sign up now! Sign up now! Sign up now? Sign up now!This time last year, Bayer Leverkusen’s 39-match unbeaten streak across all competitions and almost supernatural propensity for pulling late, late equalising and winning goals out of das collective hinterteil was the talk of Europe. With the end of the season hoving into view, Football Daily certainly wasn’t alone in wondering if Xabi Alonso’s side could go an entire season without losing a single game, while the young Basque in charge of them was being linked with Real Madrid, Liverpool and perhaps even a late run at the White House despite being just two years into his senior managerial career. While Leverkusen went on to secure a domestic double without tasting defeat, they ultimately came up short by being soundly beaten in the final of Bigger Vase, where Atalanta’s Ademola Lookman took a sledgehammer to their long unbeaten run, which lasted 51 matches, in the Italian club’s 3-0 win. It was the penultimate game of the German sid...

It’s been a while, what with World Cup qualifiers, the Nations League, FA Cup quarters, all that. So here’s a reminder of how the division looks as we head into this full round of midweek fixtures. Forest are looking to consolidate third spot, as they chase a Champions League spot and a chance to bid for European Cup number three. United’s most realistic hope of continental competition next season is to win this year’s Europa League, though barreling up...
