    Premier League: Ranking every manager’s performance in 2018/19 season from worst to best

    Click:文心一言api The 2018/19 Premier League season has drawn to a close and what a season it was. Despite recording a record 97 points, Liverpool could not usurp Pep Guardiola’s men from the top of the table and Manchester City remarkably ended their campaign as the first English side ever to secure a domestic treble. Some managers have had their best season in football to date, while others will be hoping to erase the last eight months from their memory as soon as possible. But where does each coach in the Premier League rank in 2018/19, compared to what was expected of their club? talkSPORT.com has analysed each club and it’s…

    Newcastle takeover latest: Toon fans warned to be ‘cautious’ about £350m Sheikh Khaled buyout claims

    Newcastle United fans have been warned not to get too excited about the rumoured £350million takeover from Dubai-based billionaire Sheikh Khaled bin Zayed. Late on Sunday it was claimed Khaled’s Bin Zayed Group had agreed terms with Mike Ashley to end the Magpies owner’s turbulent 12 year spell in charge on Tyneside.

On Tuesday it was claimed the deal is not as close as originally reported and that Sheikh Khaled has not provided proof of funds for his proposed takeover. The Sheikh has previously failed in an attempt to buy…

    Chelsea vs Arsenal: Petr Cech questions mentality of Gunners players ahead of Europa League final

    Petr Cech has questioned Arsenal’s mentality ahead of their Europa League final with Chelsea – and suggests there is not enough pressure at the club. The 37-year-old, who is likely to start in goal for the Gunners against his former employers on Wednesday in a game which is LIVE on talkSPORT, noticed a difference in mentality as soon as he left the Blues for the Emirates in 2015. Cech said: “At Chelsea, even when we drew at home against a big team, it felt like a funeral in the dressing-room. It was so bad.

    Baku city guide: What Arsenal and Chelsea supporters can get up to in Azerbaijan’s vibrant capital ahead of Europa League final

    Playing in the Europa League can take you to places in Europe which aren’t particularly on the beaten track, so the fact that this year’s final is being played in Baku is arguably appropriate.

However, both Arsenal and Chelsea have been forced to send some tickets back as fans have found it…

    Liverpool vs Tottenham: Jurgen Klopp explains how side would deal with Mohamed Salah injury repeat

    Jurgen Klopp has insisted Liverpool will be able to cope if there is an injury to one of his key players in Saturday’s Champions League final against Tottenham. Mohamed Salah’s night was cruelly cut short in Liverpool’s Champions League final match against Real Madrid last season after he clashed with Sergio Ramos. Apart from Naby Keita, Klopp has a fully fit squad available for the Madrid showpiece despite several of his player’s hampered with injuries in the closing stages of the season. Roberto Firmino has been on the sidelines of late and played just 11 minutes of the semi-final victory over Barcelona, while Salah missed the second-leg tie at Anfield…
