Arsenal, Mikel Arteta’s dark arts will inevitably lead to Premier League rule changes

After the Gunners' 2-1 win over Chelsea on Sunday, the football world is again talking about Arsenal corner routines and the so-called ‘dark arts’ used by Mikel Arteta’s side. These conversations have been a staple of the 2025-26 Premier League season, but it’s starting to feel like we have finally reached a tipping point for what fans, commentators, and even other clubs are willing to accept. Manchester City legend Yaya Toure said he was “disappointed” by Arsenal’s performance in the London Derby match, while former AC Milan and Chelsea star Ruud Gullit described the Gunners’ tactics as “truly awful to watch” on Dutch television. On Tuesday, Brighton manager Fabian Hurzeler added his name to the long list of football fans unhappy with Arsenal’s corner routines this season. Spe...

Arsenal were initially favored to sign Benjamin Sesko while Manchester United were expected to reunite Ruben Amorim and Gyokeres, but, in the end, the Gunners and Gyokeres wanted each other more than the other options. So far this season, Gyokeres is leading all the major striker signings this summer 2025 transfer window in the goal charts in all competitions, with Chelsea's new star Joao Pedro and Liverpool's Hugo Ekitike right behind him with 14 goals to the big Swede's 15. 1.

Ranking the 10 biggest stars in the Premier League in 2026

The Premier League is the biggest league in world football, and the gap between the English top flight and all the other top five European leagues is only increasing in terms of both fan support and financial power. Nowadays, the biggest names are no longer in the Italian league, and while the biggest attacking superstars are still in La Liga, the Premier League is closing the gap on them, too, especially when looking outside Real Madrid and Barcelona. While talent is becoming more concentrated in the Big Six - which is quietly becoming more of a Big Five - of the Premier League these days, too, the overall star power in England still feels like it is growing overall. Instead of ranking the 10 best players in the Premier League solely based on numbers or on who is the best actual ...

Ranking the 10 best Premier League center backs in 2026

Most people agree that the Premier League has ascended all the other leagues in European football with the most money, production value, drama, and individual quality than the rest. Where the Premier League's difference in quality truly shines out the most than at any other position is at center back, where clubs like Liverpool, Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur, and Arsenal have an embarrassment of riches at the position - and that is not even including all the great underrated defenders at smaller clubs beyond the Big Six. As 2026 continues, let's take a look at the 10 finest center backs in the Premier League right now, ranking them in order. 10.

The 10 biggest transfer bargains of the 2025/26 Premier League season

We are more than halfway done with the 2025/26 Premier League season, and now it makes sense to take a look back at the summer transfer window at how the new faces in the league have gotten along with their teams. Here are 10 transfers from the summer that have proven to be the biggest bargains of the season thus far, shaping title races, European battles, and relegation fights in the 2025/26 campaign. Cristhian Mosquera to Arsenal, 15M If you ask me, Cristhian Mosquera was definitely the best bargain of the summer 2025 transfer window, because Arsenal pounced on an excellent young center back who was playing at a high level in La Liga, snatching the proverbial cat out of the bag long before their competitors had even heard of Mosquera's exploits in Spain. And all Mosquera has do...

The 10 best Premier League midfielders on the summer 2026 transfer market

The 2026 summer transfer window is still several months away, but it is never too early to start thinking about the future when it comes to the transfer market. Teams cannot get enough depth in the middle of the park, so here are 10 midfield transfer targets worth keeping an eye on in the Premier League circles as possible strong buys come June. Curtis Jones, Liverpool Tottenham Hotspur have already been linked, and while Liverpool have shown no interest in selling away such a valuable up and coming young midfielder, Curtis Jones may want to spread his wings out of being second fiddle in the Liverpool midfield and become THE guy (potentially) at another prestigious club. Spurs don't seem prestigious now amidst another difficult season under a new, overmatched manager, but Jones should...
