‘Unbelievable’: Everton man comments on possible Chris Wilder sacking
Carlo Ancelotti has shared his reaction to reports that Chris Wilder will step down from his post as Sheffield United manager. According to reports from BBC Sport, Wilder is set to leave his role on Friday. The Blades are currently bottom of the Premier League and are likely to get relegated with 10 games left to play. After almost five years in charge and taking the club to the Premier League from League One during that time, Wilder’s time at the club appears to be over. This is what Ancelotti has said today about his possible sacking: “When I arrived last season, Sheffield United was above us. They were fighting for Europe, and it was unbelievable for a team that came from the Second Division. “I think the job he has done was fantastic, but today he will be the club of the managers...

Crystal Palace join Burnley in race to sign 27-year-old PL midfielder
Crystal Palace could compete with Burnley in the race to sign Sheffield United midfielder John Lundstram this summer, a report from The Mirror claims. The 27-year-old was hugely impressive in his maiden Premier League season with the Blades last term, registering five goals and three assists from 34 outings. However, he has not been able to replicate the performances this term with only two assists from 23 appearances, and the same can be said about the rest of the squad. The Blades are currently 12 points adrift of safety with only 10 games left, and they appear on course to be relegated to the Championship next term. Amidst this, Lundstram has shown no indication that he could extend his contract, which expires in June, and he may be available on a free transfer this summer. Burnley are ...

10 VAR decisions that show Arsenal, Liverpool & other PL clubs are right in asking for better refereeing
The introduction of the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) system in 2019 was heralded as a massive step forward for the Premier League. The days where controversial decisions were made were supposed to become a thing of the past, and football would be a better place for it. However, the reality has proved to be much different, with barely a week going by without some VAR-related nonsense occurring in England’s top flight. Whether it’s diving going unpunished or penalties not being given, VAR has not cleaned up the mistakes many thought it would have upon introduction. We’ve waded our way through the list of VAR decisions in the Premier League to pick out 10 of the most contentious since it was introduced. Manchester United 1-1 Liverpool – October 2019 Liverpool were unstoppable during the 2019...

‘I’m begging’, ‘Brilliant signing’ – Some AVFC fans react with club named favourites to land 23y/o
According to Eurosport, Aston Villa are keeping an eye on the situation of Sheffield United midfielder Sander Berge ahead of the summer transfer window and are the early favourites to land him. The Norway international has been out injured since last December following surgery to a tendon injury, and he could be put up for sale at the end of the season if Chris Wilder’s side fail to beat the drop. That is a big ask at the moment as the Blades are 20th in the Premier League and 14 points off safety. Berge joined the club from Genk for a club-record fee of £22 million last January and would be keen to remain in the top-flight should they go down. Villa could do with the quality of the Norwegian in the middle of the park next season as manager Dean Smith looks to further strengthen his option...
