Postecoglou has turned Forest into a toxic mess in record time Second season? With Forest fans singing 'sacked in the morning' he'll be lucky to get a second month

The night the City Ground got toxic.

Everything that made Forest work on the pitch has gone, replaced by the Postecoglou Premier League playbook. This is on the club.

Six clues something is going wrong at Liverpool From Wirtz’s role to chaos at centre-back, what has sparked Liverpool’s mini-crisis?

Without the late goals, Liverpool look flawed and a little deconstructed. I tried to analyse why, including:
- Right-back problem
- Salah staying wide
- Wirtz dominance without production
- Slower passing through midfield
- Konate stepping out

You're just putting words in my mouth now though. I repeatedly praise Arsenal for defending well. The negativity accusations against MA only surround their deliberately controlled attacking play and I praised them Sunday for quickening that up anyway

Honestly, people are allowed different opinions. xG was higher because the game state dictated that. I thought Newcastle defended brilliantly for long periods (and defending well earns stuff) and, combined with lead after 80-odd minutes, means I don't think a draw would have been unfair.

Everton's past and future are colliding - so far the signs are good The wider picture is one of great potential

I went to the first evening league game at Everton’s fantastic new stadium. For so long, history has clung too tightly to this club. Their future can be now…

Nottingham Forest fans waited 29 years for this moment. It was all a bit strange Forest's first game back in Europe since 1996 evoked conflicting emotions

"Europe again, olé olé"

Nottingham Forest supporters waited 29 years to see their team play in Europe again. I went with them to Seville for the days they always dreamt of.

Wolves are failing in the most Wolves way possible It's finally time to start panicking

The one thing that football supporters find it hard to forgive is their club making the same mistake repeatedly through a perceived lack of ambition from those at the top.

Welcome to Wolverhampton Wanderers, who are in danger of failing their way

Six reasons for Aston Villa's unpleasant funk There is a suspicion that Villa have come to the end of a glorious cycle

Honoured to be nominated for Sports Journalist of the Year 2025 by the London Press Club. It's the best job in the world and I'm lucky to do it.

Birmingham City and the battle of ambition vs tradition Tom Wagner has been catapulted onto a throne of power and influence across the city - the football side just needs to catch up

Birmingham City are part of the biggest expansion project in English football.

I went to St. Andrew's to tell the story of how making a football club successful is seen as an effective route to power and influence.

The uncomfortable truth about Sheffield United The Blades have lost every league game since jumping into a bold new era in the summer – so when does everybody start panicking?

Sheffield United jumped into a bold era this summer: new manager, new recruitment model and new owners.

So what does losing every league game so far mean and when does everybody start panicking?

Celtic FC: A wasteland of squandered opportunity This is a club in a hopeless catch-22 situation that will have serious consequences

Celtic are a club in football no man’s land, where the strands have become disconnected like rarely before. And supporters are angry.

Rangers are broken in more ways than one Russell Martin's appointment has been a disaster - but fingers have to point elsewhere too

Rangers are broken in two ways: they have a manager no supporter wants and and off-field leaders who thought that it was a good idea to appoint him.

West Ham are rotting from the head down The house that David Sullivan built is a stinking waste of £450m

I went to watch West Ham: a broken team under a broken manager at a club where nothing stays unbroken for long. Fish and football clubs rot from the head down.

Thanks Tom, that's very kind of you

Crystal Palace and the great sense of injustice Daniel Storey pays a visit to Selhurst Park, where deep pride meets bitter resentment

I went to Crystal Palace, who must be the most fascinating Premier League club right now. Vast resentment towards authority, questions about their own ambition and the best manager they have ever had.

It all feels…hard to process.
