Leeds United’s struggles in front of goal continued at the weekend as they suffered a 1-0 defeat to Fulham in the Premier League. Gabriel Gudmundsson’s stoppage-time own goal proved the difference at Craven Cottage, leaving pundits and fans increasingly worried about the team’s lack of attacking threat. The late goal came when Gudmundsson misjudged a corner, with the ball deflecting off his head and past goalkeeper Karl Darlow. Despite a disciplined defensive performance, Leeds once again faile

Leeds United suffered one of the cruellest defeats of the Premier League weekend after Gabriel Gudmundsson scored a bizarre last-minute own goal against Fulham on Saturday. The Whites looked set to secure a valuable point at Craven Cottage, with Daniel Farke’s tactics frustrating the home side throughout the game. Leeds had battled hard, created chances, and more than deserved something from the match. Given their poor record in London in recent seasons, a draw would have been seen as a solid r

It's what being a supporter is all about isn't it? Jumping the gun, making outlandish claims that one team is destined for glory whilst the other couldn't compete with your Sunday League side; predictions and making conclusions are an integral part of fan culture. So here's some conclusions after four gameweeks of Premier League football (that will no doubt all be wrong come May). The Champions keep their throne Hardly a bold claim but despite underperforming by their own admittance, Liverp

Sunderland’s return to Premier League life continues to gather momentum, and while their goalless draw against Crystal Palace may not have been a spectacle, it was another statement of resilience — and another showcase for Robin Roefs. The 22-year-old Dutch goalkeeper, signed from NEC Nijmegen for £11.5 million, was the standout performer at Selhurst Park, earning high praise from head coach Régis Le Bris. 🧤 Roefs the Rock in Sunderland’s Defence With last season’s No. 1 Anthony Patterson si

I have to admit that before this game I was a bit apprehensive. Saka out, Saliba out, Rice on the bench. Wow, was I wrong.  From the start the boys were on the front foot, Eze and Madueke taking people on, showing the courage, adventure, and exhilarating pace to get beat people and get down the bye-line to deliver the ball, or cut inside to find that intricate incisive pass that was always going to be needed. It’s a long time since we were treated to such intent to really roast the oppositions

A wave of disappointment swirled around the HDS @ 5 Bells on the weekend as Everton failed to hit the back of the net in what was a pretty decent performance. Beto - he’ll know best, should’ve netted at least twice, and that’s the main gripe coming from the fans. Everton need a proper No9, one who knows where the onion bag is and one who doesn’t miss. Post match, a number of fans were saying DCL would never have missed those gifts. Ok rant over! Villa were always on the back foot, but this was
