By Total Football News

In the 2025 summer transfer window Farke and the club’s new sporting director Adam Underwood made a point of signing tall players who could “add a special physicality” to the squad they were building for the robust demands of the English top flight.

Of the 10 permanent arrivals, eight – Jaka Bijol, Sebastiaan Bornauw, Dominic Calvert-Lewin, James Justin, Lukas Nmecha, Noah Okafor, Lucas Perri and Anton Stach – stand more

Newcastle v Athletic Club: Inside bond that turned Magpies fans red and white

By Total Football News

This was Newcastle’s first European campaign since 1977.

It was also their first since the ban on English clubs playing on the continent after the Heysel Stadium disaster had been lifted in 1990.

There was still a reasonable police presence in Bilbao on what was a national holiday.

Supporter Karl Pedley recalled how Newcastle fans were accompanied into San Mames by “full riot police, some of whom were armed”.

However,

Have Manchester United turned a corner after beating Brighton?

By Total Football News

Ratcliffe was at Old Trafford to watch this latest triumph. It is only the second time under Amorim that United have won three games in a row. Without combining the start of last season and the end of the one before, it is the first time they have won three league games in a row since February 2024 under Erik ten Hag.

A notoriously blunt speaker, did Ratcliffe really mean

Man City 5-1 Burnley: How have Pep Guardiola’s side turned form around?

Guardiola’s reaction at the end, with a huge smile on his face, showed signs of a man who was not only proud of the team’s victory but also sensed City are edging back towards their best.

It wasn’t a perfect performance and the scoreline did flatter them, but City need to take the opportunities when Liverpool falter and did so on this occasion.

Guardiola denies he has changed his methods

Mohamed Salah: Why Egyptian turned down ‘£500m Saudi move’ to stay at Liverpool

By Total Football News

If money was Salah’s determining consideration, he’d have left Liverpool for the Saudi Pro League who, until as recently as last week, still believed they could attract him to the Middle East.

The financial lure of a move to Saudi Arabia was clear. The ‘homecoming’ of one of the greatest and recognisable Arab footballers – and the synergy, and earning power, for all parties was inescapable.

Indeed, sources have told

Coventry City: How Frank Lampard turned around Sky Blues’ season

By Total Football News

Even in their wildest dreams, Sky Blues fans couldn’t have imagined things would be going as well as they are, right here, right now, under Frank Lampard.

To say his appointment was greeted by scepticism in some quarters would be something of an understatement, especially given whose shoes he was recruited to fill, and at one point, merely staying in the division would have been regarded as an achievement, never

Tottenham Hotspur: Has Ange Postecoglou turned corner with ‘re-energised’ Spurs?

By Total Football News

When Tottenham Hotspur suffered a fourth consecutive Premier League defeat four weeks ago, it was difficult to see anything but a messy end to the season for Ange Postecoglou.

Yet on Saturday his side recorded a third league win in a row with a 4-1 defeat of Ipswich Town at Portman Road – the first time Spurs have achieved the feat since December 2023.

The result not only boosted their

David Moyes: How Everton boss turned club around and made them Premier League’s in-form team

No player epitomises the Toffees’ improvement quite like Beto, who continued his fine form with another goal at Selhurst Park.

The Guinea-Bissau striker’s opener in south London was his fourth goal in three league games – as many as he managed in 42 matches under Dyche.

The 27-year-old joined Everton from Udinese in August 2023 for a fee reportedly worth up to £30m, but scored only three goals in 30
