    Tottenham’s grim November continued with a 2-1 home defeat to Fulham, leaving them with one win from six games this month and three straight losses, after another defensive collapse saw them concede twice inside six minutes and fail to overhaul the early damage. Vicario’s dreadful error for Fulham’s second goal triggered loud boos from sections of the home crowd, prompting Frank to brand jeering during play “unacceptable” and claim those supporters are not “true Tottenham fans,” arguing criticism should wait until full time while the team fights on the pitch.

    Guardiola explains heated post match exchange with Haaland

    Haaland endured a rare goalless ninety minutes in City’s dramatic 3–2 win over Leeds, leaving his chase for a 100th Premier League goal on hold and leading to a visibly tense touchline conversation with Pep Guardiola at full time, watched closely by cameras. City surrendered a two goal lead before Phil Foden’s stoppage time winner rescued the points and lifted them to second. Haaland, top scorer with fourteen in thirteen, was frustrated by missed chances and the delayed milestone, while Guardiola later said the animated exchange was simply him demanding higher standards and refocusing his striker on the team’s victory, before both men ended the discussion smiling and embracing.

    Saha praised Gyokeres’ early impact since joining from Sporting but argued the striker has “had it easy in some ways,” insisting he still must prove himself in the most pressurised moments and become the true finishing piece of Arteta’s title-chasing puzzle. With Arsenal unbeaten in sixteen matches and thriving even while Gyokeres is sidelined, Arteta has successfully used Mikel Merino as a false nine, showing the team can function without their marquee striker, which Saha says only raises expectations on Gyokeres to decide big games when he returns.

    Amorim admitted United need additional wing-backs with Amad’s attacking punch, explaining that his 3-4-3 system requires profiles who can both run relentlessly and create, and that current options have struggled to impose themselves in the role consistently. Defending his use of Amad at right wing-back, Amorim highlighted the player’s speed on the ball, technical quality and flexibility to play between the lines, but accepted squad characteristics are not yet ideal and signalled that future recruitment will be aimed at perfecting his preferred structure.

    Brighton faced backlash after Mitoma and an academy player posed holding FC-style cards featuring an image resembling former Japanese Imperial Army officer Hiroo Onoda, with the post going viral in China given the historic atrocities linked to Japan’s wartime regime. The club issued a formal apology, stating they “sincerely” regretted any offence caused and distancing themselves from the imagery after the post spread widely on Weibo, triggering a PR crisis that underlined the sensitivities around using historical military figures in promotional content.

    Go Ahead Eagles forward Victor Edvardsen mocked Stiller’s appearance just minutes after coming on, gesturing at the German’s nose and sparking a confrontation that earned him a booking and widespread criticism online for disrespectful behaviour. The Dutch club fined Edvardsen €500 and publicly condemned his actions, with the player entering Stuttgart’s dressing room to apologise in person and later stressing his duty to act as a role model, while Stuttgart’s leadership chose not to inflame the situation further.

    Blaise Matuidi has lavished praise on Vitinha after the midfielder’s first career hat trick in PSG’s 5-3 Champions League win against Tottenham, calling the Portuguese star exceptional and suggesting he is now perhaps the best midfielder in the world on current form. Vitinha scored in the 45th, 53rd and 76th minutes, including a late penalty, to cap a complete display of pressing, passing and intelligent movement. Matuidi highlighted his speed of thought, wide shooting range and Thiago Motta style reading of play, and urged him to emulate Luka Modric and chase future Ballon d’Or contention.

    AFA hammers Estudiantes and Veron over Rosario Central guard of honour snub

    November 2025

    Estudiantes’ refusal to perform a guard of honour for Rosario Central exploded into a major disciplinary case as the AFA handed bans to all eleven starters and suspended club president Juan Sebastian Veron for six months after he admitted ordering the viral protest against Rosario’s controversial points based title recognition. The fallout followed AFA chief Tapia presenting Rosario with a physical trophy for having most points in 2025, a decision many clubs viewed as political and symbolic rather than a proper championship. Estudiantes players turned their backs during the planned tribute, prompting a fierce federation response that has deepened tensions around Tapia’s leadership and treatment of dissenting teams.

    November 2025

    Arne Slot’s position at Liverpool has come under fierce scrutiny after nine defeats in 12 matches, prompting prominent journalist Michael Reif to suggest that former boss Jurgen Klopp could realistically return if results do not improve and the Anfield hierarchy decide a change is unavoidable. Reif argues Klopp holds enormous emotional capital with supporters, describing Liverpool as “burned to the ground” and warning that Slot must stop the slide. With Klopp rested in his Red Bull role, Reif believes the club would be negligent not to explore a reunion.

    Leeds United’s alarming start under Daniel Farke has sparked speculation that the board could act if results worsen, with Ange Postecoglou unexpectedly emerging as a candidate to replace him and Brendan Rodgers also mentioned as an alternative option for the struggling club. Seven defeats in 12 have left Leeds 18th, with a brutal run against Manchester City, Chelsea and Liverpool looming and Farke’s Premier League record under intense scrutiny. Postecoglou’s attacking philosophy still appeals despite his brief Forest spell, while Rodgers’ name persists in boardroom discussions.
