Man City will play in the Conference League when Forest does their part against West Ham to fulfill our new goal

By Damerex -

Forest has given the rest of us faith that Man City will reach funny new heights under Pep Guardiola's leadership, and they are still in the running for the Champions League.  Having won seven of their last eight games, Nottingham Forest was tied for second place with Arsenal and as near to Liverpool (6 points) at the top as Newcastle sixth in mid-January. They widened the gap to seven points by the beginning of April, moving up to sixth place. No matter the level, playing in Europe is an incredible accomplishment for Nottingham Forest, who ended 17th last season with fewer than half the points they have won so far this season.  However, after a run of one win in six games allowed the more conventional (let's call them dull) competitors to enter, it will be a blow, if not a crushing one, to not qualify for the Champions League after holding one of the spots for so long of the year. With one game remaining and Forest holding a Conference League spot, it's likely that we wil...

UNITED NEW FAN FAVORITE: What Man Utd's New Hero(Altay Bayindir) Did for Teammates After FA Cup Win Revealed

By Damerex -

After defeating Arsenal on penalties in the FA Cup third round, Manchester United goalie Altay Bayindir treated his colleagues to a celebration dinner.

When required to keep United level in a thrilling cup match in north London, Bayindir, who had a rough first 70 minutes, came to life. Martin Odegaard, who had never missed from 12 yards in his senior professional career, went up after Arsenal was controversially granted a penalty when referee Andy Madley determined that Harry Maguire had fouled Kai Havertz without VAR being able to come in.

Before Declan Rice made an incredible point-blank save to force extra time, Bayindir ended that record by scrambling to his left and palming the ball away. Ultimately, a penalty shootout was required to separate the two adversaries, and Bayindir once more emerged victorious after saving Kai Havertz's attempt.

Bayindir was rightfully awarded player of the match, and United scored all five of their penalties to go to the fourth round, where they would reunite with Ruud van Nistelrooy, who is now Leicester's manager.

Andre Onana, Bayindir's goalkeeping teammate, talked about how the team celebrated the occasion on club channels.

We all gave him our congratulations for a job well done. "He makes us all proud," Onana said. He is putting in a lot of effort every day and has been here for a year and a half or more. He's been rewarded now. He worth it.

By the way, he had such a great performance that he invited us to the restaurant [after the game]. I'm hoping he'll invite us more often since that indicates he'll keep playing this way."

Before his exploits on Sunday, Bayindir had only played four games for United, three of which were in the Carabao Cup this season. Despite this, United has been linked to acquiring a new goalkeeper, with Zion Suzuki of Parma, who is reportedly valued at £40 million, being a target for the team.

• The Spanish goalie has outperformed his countryman Robert Sanchez. • Kepa Arrizabalaga is currently with Bournemouth on loan from Chelsea. • Chelsea activated a provision in Kepa's contract that might alter his future. Kepa Arrizabalaga might still have prospects at Chelsea, as the club reportedly activated a provision in his loan agreement with Bournemouth, according to a report from Spain.  The Spanish goalkeeper, still the costliest in football history, hasn't featured for Chelsea since Frank Lampard's temporary tenure in 2023. Following a loan spell at Real Madrid, where he lost his first-choice position to substitute Andriy Lunin, Kepa signed with Bournemouth on another temporary agreement in August.  At the time, it was reported that Kepa signed a one-year extension to his Chelsea deal prior to relocating to the south coast, ensuring his stay with the west London club until June 2026.  Nonetheless, MARCA asserts that the Blues needed to activate an option in the a...

• Antony signed with Real Betis on a loan deal in January.  • Winger has experienced an impressive streak of performances since departing from Man Utd.  • Manuel Pellegrini discusses Antony's reasons for motivation.  Real Betis coach Manuel Pellegrini claims Antony seeks "revenge against himself" to demonstrate he is capable of European football following his frustrating two-and-a-half years at Manchester United.  The 24-year-old moved to Betis in the January transfer window, signing a six-month loan deal that lacks a permanent transfer option, as he aims to revive a career that has significantly faltered since his transfer from Ajax in 2022.  Antony has scored three goals in only four matches for the Spanish team - he has a total of 12 goals from 96 games with United - and Pellegrini acknowledged that the opportunity to showcase his skills in Europe motivates the Brazilian.  Pellegrini stated, "His attitude and self-criticism have been the most crucial asp...

Owen criticizes three Man Utd players who "truly contribute nothing" following the loss to Tottenham.

Michael Owen has criticized three Man Utd players for “dozing” as Tottenham defeated the Red Devils 1-0 in the Premier League on Sunday.  The Red Devils’ poor performance in the Premier League under Ruben Amorim persisted as Man Utd fell to James Maddison’s opening goal in a close defeat.  Maddison responded effectively to a loose ball after Man Utd goalkeeper Andre Onana deflected a shot from Lucas Bergvall back into play, and the Tottenham midfielder scored from close range.  Owen was not impressed at all by Harry Maguire, Noussair Mazraoui, and Matthijs De Ligt, as the ex-Man Utd and Liverpool forward claimed that one of them ought to have been present to clean up the mess.  Owen stated on Premier League Productions: “What irritates me most about the Manchester United team is that those center-backs contribute nothing during the match.  “They scarcely recruit any players, yet when you request them to perform one task – block the shooter – they are dozing off ...

The transfer frustration of Liverpool and Forest supporters demonstrates that football is indeed broken.

By Damerex -

Was this the transfer window that ultimately shattered people's minds?  The only minor uncertainty we possess is that it occurred already, a few years back. However, this one seemed especially out of control.  In certain situations, frustrations were quite clear. Arsenal supporters feeling slightly irritable over the lack of a new striker is, if anything, a positive indication of rationality; it’s preferable to delving into dark referee conspiracies or confirming Erling Haaland's claims.  However, even at that point, Arsenal supporters require a broader perspective in which Everything Is Quite Good, Honestly. It's simpler to embrace complete despair from, for instance, Man United supporters, right? They are astonishingly poor, and have somehow concluded the window with a less strong squad than they began with.  This is not ideal, and it's okay to feel annoyed by it.  There are two clubs with unhappy fans, where we truly begin to question if being a football supp...

• Chelsea will likely be without Nicolas Jackson for a number of weeks.  • The striker sustained a hamstring injury earlier this month.  • The Blues are short on striker options as Marc Guiu is also injured at the moment.  Chelsea will be missing striker Nicolas Jackson for several weeks due to injury, which is a significant setback for manager Enzo Maresca considering the limited options available in attack.  Chelsea are seeking a 'number nine' but, even though there were connections to players such as Dusan Vlahovic and Benjamin Sesko in January, the transfer window closed without any additions.  Jackson, Chelsea's second-top Premier League goalscorer this season after Cole Palmer, was absent from last weekend's FA Cup match against Brighton & Hove Albion. The Daily Telegraph has disclosed that the hamstring issue preventing him from playing in that match is serious enough to keep the Senegal international out of action until after the March international ...
