The Football Diary

While Man City's season will be under intense scrutiny, there's no denying the talent of their latest star, Rayan Cherki. His sparkling goal against Liverpool is the latest of a number of superb goal involvements this season. The next Ballon d'Or contender? 🤔 #mancity #cherki #mcfc #rayancherki

Hull City's amazing start to life in Premier League is great and all. But isn't it about time that bloody chant went away?! #hullcity #hcafc #mauledbythetigers #premierleague

JJ Gabriel wants OUT of Manchester United at 15! 😯 Is it misplaced arrogance? A sign of United's decline? His meddling Dad? All of the above? 🤔 Have your say in the comments! #mufc #manutd #jjgabriel #manchesterunited #PremierLeague

How the Premier League must've felt delivering that verdict! A shocking state of affairs for English football. Manchester City systematically cheated their way to success, for more than a decade. Throw the book at them! #mcfc #mancity #manchestercity #premierleague

Zion Suzuki hasn't just slotted in at Aston Villa - he's changed the way they play for the better. The Japanese keeper's distribution and shot stopping have made a huge impression so far. Better for Villa then Emi Martinez? 🤔 #zionsuzuki #astonvilla #avfc #suzuki #premierleague

New episode out now 🎙️ Brighton flying, Cherki looks like a future Ballon d'Or winner, and Tottenham are spending £500m to finish 17th two years running. September's Premier League review is here 👇 youtu.be/Ctmtnba4AB4?... #PremierLeague #Tottenham #Brighton #TheFootballDiary

What's your favourite Premier League home kit this season? We've picked ours ... what do you think? Who's done it best this season? 🤔 #premierleague #footballkits #astonvilla #hullcity #coventrycity

All change at Crystal Palace this season. Too much? 🤔 With big departures and an arguably weaker squad, juggling European football might be too much for a Palace side who hit the highest highs last season. #cpfc #crystalpalace #premierleague #footballpodcast

Enzo Maresca has huge shoes to fill at Manchester City. But is he a good enough coach to replace and continue the good work of Pep Guardiola? Or is he destined to be the City equivalent of David Moyes post-Ferguson? #mancity #mcfc #enzomaresca #premierleague #epl

We've made our predictions, and it's a unanimous vote for Arsenal to retain the Premier League for the 26/27 season! It's an already great squad, with added quality over the summer, rivals in transition, and new-found taste for winning. #arsenal #premierleague #afc #arsenalfc #epl

Some bold predictions for the new season! 👇 Including a breakout star Mike had never heard of, and describing Enzo Maresca as the "Moyes of Man City" 🫤 Watch on YouTube: youtu.be/4mTK4YHyRd0?...

"As a result of today’s discussion, no UEFA national teams will participate in any FIFA competition for so long as these proposals remain alive." "UEFA and its national associations will oppose these plans with absolute determination." UEFA solidarity is exactly what we need right now 💪🏻

As if it needed proving, the World Cup showed the globe how good Erling Haaland is. His goals for Norway - and his social media presence - have won the hearts and minds of fans everywhere, if not the Golden Boot! #haaland #norway #worldcup #erlinghaaland #mancity

A Villa and United fan chat Youri Tielemans; what Villa are losing, and what exactly United are gaining for a bargain £35m fee. He's a big game player, joining a team desperate for stars in midfield. Could he be an important piece of the United rebuild? 🤔 #tielemans #manutd #astonvilla #mufc

I'd be stunned if this happened. I mean, what price for Rodri right now? Best player at the World Cup, former (and maybe multiple?) Ballon d'Or winner. Back to his best. City would be crazy to sell. www.nytimes.com/athletic/734... #mancity #mcfc #rodri #premierleague #realmadrid

Well, that's a bold tactic from Klopp 👀 Totally understandable though. DFB need Klopp. He doesn't need them. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba... #klopp #germany #dfb #deutschland #jurgenklopp

Three English football fans with no reason to support Cape Verde 🇨🇻 And yet Vozinha and his teammates were our favourite story of the entire tournament. Here's why 👇 youtu.be/qsUKV7ktSU0 #CapeVerde #WorldCup2026 #Vozinha #FootballPodcast #TheFootballDiary

Thomas Tuchel's tactics were wrong. The heartbreaking semi-final defeat to Argentina ruined England's best chance at a trophy in a generation, and that's a difficult pill for fans to swallow - despite a 3rd place finish. #england #tuchel #worldcup #fifaworldcup #argentina @mikeunited.co.uk

He's playing an important role for England at the World Cup, but what about Morgan Rogers' Aston Villa future? Would Villa be right to cash in on Rogers while his stock is quite high, and how much is he worth in this market? 🤔 #astonvilla #avfc #morganrogers #england #worldcup

Messi ⚽⚽⚽ Haaland ⚽⚽ Mbappé ⚽⚽ No pressure tonight eh, Harry 😉

Igor Thiago has got an amazing chance for Brazil at the 2026 FIFA World Cup 🇧🇷 He'll be high on confidence after an incredible season for Brentford in the Premier League. How good can he be for the Seleçao? 🤔 #igorthiago #brasil #brentford #fifaworldcup #premierleague

Sunderland end an INCREDIBLE season qualifying for European football in style! With some incredible signings, and some bloody noses along the way. They're back, and they're ready for the big time! #sunderland #sunderlandafc #premierleague #mackems #blackcats

Fair play to Sunderland, they've been incredible back in the Premier League! With 14 new signings, have any of them even missed the mark?! Xhaka, Mukiele, Roefs, Brobbey - so many great performances. Has the sleeping giant been awakened?? #sunderland youtu.be/TYbLDSs1VMM?...

Villa's BEST season in recent years?! 🤔 The Europa League trophy and a top 5 finish mean Aston Villa have surpassed anything they've achieved in recent history - and certainly in Unai Emery's time at the club. #avfc #astonvilla #unaiemery #premierleague #europaleague

Are Everton just settling for average, mediocre seasons? Has David Moyes hit his ceiling once again? After an underwhelming end to the season, Everton were at one time on the cusp of Europe. Are fans right to be unhappy? #everton #evertonfc #premierleague #ndiaye #grealish

Our top 5 most influential Premier League players for the 25/26 season. Spoiler... number 1 is NOT Bruno Fernandes 😲 #premierleague #brunofernandes #gabrielmagalhaes #antoinesemenyo #granitxhaka

We're still processing how West Ham got relegated - especially with how bad Tottenham were. But what happened to the Hammers, and can they bounce back? #whufc #westham #coyi #premierleague youtu.be/vVDJqc7qWrY?...

Take a bow Gabriel Magalhães 👏🏻 The best defender in the world? 🤔 Despite Champions League heartbreak, he's been a rock this season. And he's our Premier League Player of the Year. #arsenal #gabrielmagalhaes #brasil #premierleague #afc

Has this been Bournemouth's greatest EVER season?? Despite once again losing some big players, the Cherries qualified for Europe. Does this rank as the finest achievement in their history? #afcbournemouth #afcb #bournemouth youtu.be/MrVtbMhdIss

Aston Villa's epic Europa League win will live long in the memory of Villa fans. They've been starved of a trophy for so long, that this feels particularly special. #astonvilla #avfc #europaleague #unaiemery #emery

As the Premier League season wraps up, we're thinking about the May episode of The Football Diary. Who are your votes for: ⚽ Team of the Month? ⚽ Most influential players in May? ⚽ Crisis club? ⚽ Which club fan forums to explore? Let us know your thoughts!

Fans will ALWAYS have a say on an England squad, every tournament. Yes, this squad seems mental to the average fan. But Thomas Tuchel has been hired to find the exact blend of characters to win. Let's trust that, and get behind him and the lads. #england #tuchel

A fifth Europa League trophy for Unai Emery. A stellar record in top level club management. In Aston Villa, he's with a club that wants to level up with him. Where does Emery rank among modern coaches? Is a PL or CL trophy the yardstick? #astonvilla #avfc #emery

Amid the euphoria of tonight, it's worth praising the excellent Junior Kroupi. Star in the making. youtu.be/h2HlCg3LmYc?...

Aston Villa legitimately tearing Liverpool apart. Buendia is bang in form isn't he?! Should be 4-1 easily #avfc #ASTLIV #astonvilla #liverpool

Ollie Watkins has rediscovered his form at the perfect time. His recent omission from a recent Thomas Tuchel England squad seems to have spurred him on to improve. Will he make it on the plane? 🤔 #olliewatkins #england #astonvilla #avfc #premierleague

CELTIC! 🤯🤯 FAAAACKIN HELL!! The title race in Scotland is mental! A last minute penalty against Motherwell puts it right back in their hands! 😬 #celtic #hearts

Elliot Anderson has quietly become one of the best midfielders in Europe. He's comfortably gonna be a starter for England. Is he ready to be considered World Class? 🤔 #elliotanderson #nottinghamforest #england #nffc #premierleague

Bruno Fernandes is a modern day United legend. In an era where they've been shit, that is incredibly impressive. And potentially breaking the Premier League assist record, with half a season out of position? Bruno deserves all the plaudits. #mufc youtu.be/X1qxVo1nHcA

Imagine Middlesbrough coming up to the Premier League, and Rob Edwards sliding back down with Wolves to the Championship. I'm sure Boro fans wouldn't gloat too much! 😂 #middlesbrough

With Xabi Alonso linked with the Chelsea job, would it be a good move for the Spaniard? Or is his real calling at Anfield, where Arne Slot's job is bound to be at risk from the first kick next season? #chelseafc #xabialonso #liverpool #premierleague #cescfabregas

Junior Kroupi needs to STAY at Bournemouth! He's hot property, and will have loads of clubs after him this summer. But would his development better served with the Cherries? 🤔 #afcb #bournemouth #afcbournemouth #kroupi youtu.be/h2HlCg3LmYc?...

Morgan Gibbs-White for England?? Should he be on the plane?! On form you could argue, definitely. But at the expense of who? 🤔 #nffc #nottingham #premierleague #gibbswhite #trending

Ollie Watkins is coming back into form at the perfect time for Aston Villa...and for England. Hear Villa fan Myles talk about how Watkins' form dropped - and how big it is for Villa that it's back. #avfc #astonvilla #utv youtu.be/TBl2P5Zfw3s

Tottenham's form has been woeful this season. And although he's not long bounced back from an ACL injury, Radu Drăgușin is often the target for fan anger. Is he good enough for Spurs? #dragusin #tottenham #thfc #premierleague #trending
