Premier League joins top European leagues in call for reforms to way Fifa is run

By Total Football News

The Premier League has joined three of its top European counterparts in calling for “fundamental” reform of the way that Fifa is run, claiming its president Gianni Infantino has “actively promoted exploitative ideas”.

In a joint statement with Spain’s La Liga, Germany’s Bundesliga, and Italy’s Serie A, the English top flight says it is speaking out “because we understand how Fifa’s relentless expansionism affects everyone”.

The four leagues say the

Mark Robins says Stoke City are progressing despite poor Championship run

By Total Football News

Stoke City manager Mark Robins claims “people don’t want to hear” about the club’s progress because their Championship promotion push has faded.

The Potters, who only avoided relegation on the final day of last season, have won just three of their past 16 league matches.

Robins, who took over in January last year, insists his side have improved.

He told BBC Radio Stoke: “You know why we are where we

But Leicester’s battle to avoid back-to-back relegations, having dropped out of the Premier League last season, is still one that will need to be fought off the pitch as the club’s legal team appeal against a six-point deduction for historical spending breaches.

Bristol City’s predicament in the middle of the table has become much more clear, with their hopes of challenging for a spot in the play-offs taking a major

Wednesday had started brightly with Svante Ingelsson looking lively down the left, but an excellent first-time pass from the recalled Rhian Brewster put Brereton-Diaz through for Derby’s opener as the Chile striker finished well from the edge of the box.

The same two combined three minutes later as a stretching unmarked Brereton-Diaz put a low cross over the bar from eight yards.

But three minutes later the Owls were level

Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder says his team “have to put a run together if they want to get something out of the season”.

Birmingham took the lead after five minutes when Bright Osayi-Samuel fed Vicente, and the Spanish winger, signed last month from Deportivo Alaves, raced down the right and finished at the near post.

The Blues were buzzing and August Priske chested the ball down and unleashed an overhead kick, which was saved by Vladan Kovacevic.

Priske then found Ducksch with a first-time pass and the German rolled it past Kovacevic on

The home side paraded new signing Christ Makosso at the Kassam Stadium before kick-off, the Congo defender having joined on loan from Luton for the rest of the season.

The U’s made a positive start as Matt Phillips and Peart-Harris went close, but they undid all their good early work when they conceded a soft goal to gift Birmingham the lead on 23 minutes.

There was some questionable goalkeeping from

Wrexham 1-2 Norwich City: Resurgent Canaries end Red Dragons’ winning run

By Total Football News

Such has been the Canaries’ improvement under Belgian Clement, Parkinson warned that Norwich would be a different prospect to the one Wrexham beat 3-2 at Carrow Road in September.

And the visitors made a dream start as they went ahead after just nine minutes when debutant Ali Ahmed picked out Slimane, who coolly guided his strike beyond Arthur Okonkwo from 12 yards out.

Ahmed – who joined the Norfolk outfit

Both teams had lost their most recent league outing, although a postponement of their home clash with Watford meant this was Hull’s first Championship match since 1 January.

It was the home side who had the better of the opening exchanges, with Ivor Pandur forced into a good save by Adam Armstrong and Finn Azaz sending a shot into the side-netting.

However, their early momentum was killed when Manning’s pass
