Paul Scholes has caused a stir by declaring that neither Arsenal nor Man City deserve to win the Premier League, even suggesting that the trophy not be awarded this season due to unconvincing quality of play.

BBC Sport has selected the top ten football strikers from this century to date, listing their goal counts and major trophy wins. The specific rankings and data are as follows: First: Ronaldo/Brazil, 392 goals in 597 matches, winning 13 major trophies. Second: Kane/England, 504 goals in 745 matches, winning 1 major trophy.

If Manchester United secures a Champions League spot this season as desired, looking back, the 1-1 draw with Wolves in the final match of 2025 will appear exceptionally significant. That match was a dual turning point, simultaneously igniting the internal transformation spark within the Red Devils and activating Wolves, who at the time were still highly likely to set the Premier League's worst seasonal record. United fans jokingly claim that the "Wolf Pack Strategy" has yielded its reward.

Players of the Iranian women's national team remained silent as the national anthem played during their Group A opener at the 2026 Women's Asian Cup.

What is currently happening at Chelsea? A team that receives the most red cards in the Premier League and has a consistently poor defense. There is a noticeable gap at Stamford Bridge: the absence of a genuine leader.

Amid the climax of the title race, Arsenal has suddenly become the focus of a heated debate: Are they making the Premier League less exciting?

Amid the intense climax of this season's Premier League title race, Manchester City is showcasing the familiar image of a force that is not easily defeated. Pep Guardiola's team conquers all with their resilience, squad depth, and enduring will to win.

MU and Newcastle currently exist in two contrasting realities this season. While MU marches to St James' Park with confidence in their form and the prospect of returning to the Champions League, the story for the home team is painted in gloomy tones.

Since Carrick took over at Manchester United, the team's ranking has risen to third place, and his return may also help the club break new records in jersey sales. The 44-year-old coach has remained unbeaten in nine matches across two stints, tying the Premier League historical best, reigniting hope among fans who are now willing to wear the Red Devils' jersey without fear of ridicule.

Coach Gerard Albadalejo was recently dismissed by the newly-promoted Ninh Binh after the team suffered three consecutive defeats, severely damaging their historic chance in the V-League title race. The practice of "losing a match, firing the general" is nothing new; replacing the coach at critical moments is also a way to prevent things from going too far. However, not all such changes are convincing, and in the V-League, coaching changes do not always seem to be purely for professional reasons.
