England's invincible Red Roses: The 38-game unbeaten run and a team 'pushing for perfection'
Ask members of England Women’s rugby union team what their current winning streak is and not all of them will be able to tell you. Perhaps it’s easy to lose count when on an unbeaten run that stretches back to 2022.In the past seven years, the team has lost once, a painful 34-31 Women’s Rugby World Cup final defeat by New Zealand in the dying minutes of a closely fought encounter that ended a then-record 30-game winning run.Advertisement
Mikel Arteta and the transformation of the Emirates Stadium atmosphere
Mikel Arteta has put an emphasis on Arsenal’s relationship with their supporters since his first day in charge of the club back in December 2019.Aged 37 at the time, the former Arsenal captain witnessed the disconnect between the club and its supporters just four days before he was announced as the club’s head coach. Sat in the Manchester City dugout as Pep Guardiola’s assistant manager while they dispatched Freddie Ljungberg’s Arsenal 3-0, something did not sit right with Arteta, even if he too...
Elliot Anderson might be off this summer – but Forest have plenty of talent to hang on to
On a day when Casemiro bid an emotional farewell to Old Trafford, Nottingham Forest’s own talismanic midfielder, Elliot Anderson, delivered yet another outstanding display that underlined exactly why he will be equally missed if he leaves the City Ground.Anderson chose the perfect stage on which to deliver two delightful assists, even if it is expected that — if he does indeed move this summer — it’s more likely to be to the other side of Manchester, to join United’s neighbours City, than be bac...
Newcastle give Trippier and Krafth fitting send off – but what next for those left behind?
For Kieran Trippier, Emil Krafth and, in all probability, Anthony Gordon, this marked a defined Newcastle United ending.There were three very different forms of farewell — from all-out adoration for the “legend” Trippier (as Wor Flags’ banner hailed him), to warm gratitude shown towards the injured Krafth during a half-time on-field presentation, and a conspicuous non-appearance (or even brief cheerio) for Gordon, who was once again an overlooked substitute — but the goodbyes were real and domin...
Brighton had European football in their grasp, now they must regroup for one last push
Brighton & Hove Albion’s quest to qualify for Europe for a second time remains in their own hands, but they blew a massive opportunity at Leeds United to get the job done with a game to spare.In some ways nothing has changed, in another sense everything has changed. Fabian Hurzeler’s side went into Sunday’s penultimate fixture against Leeds United at Elland Road knowing that three points from the final two matches would be enough to add to reaching the Europa League with a sixth-placed finish un...
Wolves' Premier League farewell: Love for their former heroes, indifference towards the current crop
Raul Jimenez and Romain Saiss must have wondered whether they were in the right place.The pair, who were at Molineux when Wolverhampton Wanderers returned to the Premier League in August 2018, were back almost eight years later, as the stadium said farewell to the top flight.But Saiss, the former Morocco international who returned for a visit and was welcomed onto the pitch before the 1-1 draw against Fulham on Sunday, and Jimenez, who featured for the visitors as a second-half substitute, must...
The Briefing: Will Carrick learn cautionary tale of Fernandes? Alonso's new players looking blue
Welcome to The Briefing, where every Monday this season, The Athletic discusses three of the biggest issues from the weekend’s football. This was the weekend when West Ham United moved perilously close to relegation, and Arne Slot’s position as Liverpool boss appeared to strengthen with the appointment of Xabi Alonso at Chelsea. We discuss whether Alonso has the capability to turn Chelsea around, if Manchester United can kick on after their excellent finish to the season, and question how on ear...
What does football think of Unai Emery?
Where does Unai Emery rank among football’s best managers? Does his record in European competition precede him? Or is his reputation, within footballing circles, still dented by perceived failures when in charge at Paris Saint-Germain and then Arsenal?The answers to these questions are curious and nuanced. While, in some quarters, uncertainty still nags over whether he could implement his methods at clubs of a certain stature, a widespread reverence of Emery is clear. The 54-year-old Spaniard is...
Alonso choosing Chelsea is a leap of faith - and a coup for the club who must make it work
“It’s a little bit of intuition, a connection with the right moment in the right place.”That was Xabi Alonso talking two and a half years ago, explaining how and why he had decided that Bayer Leverkusen was his destination of choice for his first top-flight job in football management.“Previously, I had other possibilities,” he told the Guardian newspaper in that interview. “But I didn’t see that clearly. That’s why I didn’t want to go anywhere where I was not convinced.”Advertisement
Invention perfected: How Bruno Fernandes hunted down the Premier League assist record
Once questioned, now crowned. Bruno Fernandes is one of the Premier League’s greatest-ever creators.The Manchester United captain made footballing history on Sunday, recording his 20th assist of the 2025-26 season after teeing up Bryan Mbeumo for the eventual winner in a 3-2 win over Nottingham Forest.Advertisement
West Ham United's muddled inadequacy has left them hanging on to the Premier League by a thread
West Ham United fulfilled their fixture at Newcastle United and that was about as good as it got.They turned up. They pulled on their shirts and took to the pitch and, from that point onwards, their involvement and engagement was moot. There was a sense of endings at St James’ Park; not definitive, not complete, but persuasive, a final home game for Kieran Trippier as a Newcastle player, and a feeble waft of farewell in the colour of claret.Advertisement

Harrison Bader slams A's, Giants build momentum with wind-whipped series victory
WEST SACRAMENTO, Calif. — A generation of San Francisco Giants fans understood it to be true: When you attended a game at Candlestick Park, you would watch the home team battle a pair of adversaries.There was the National League rival who happened to be in town that series. And there was the invisible yet undeniable influence that turned hot dog wrappers into urban tumbleweeds and fly balls into unstable particles. The winds might swirl more or less from one night to the next. They might be stro...

Nationals ban individual who displayed white nationalist sign at home game
WASHINGTON — The Washington Nationals have identified and banned at least one individual from Nationals Park after he unfurled a sign during Sunday’s game that directed fans to a white nationalist website and called for the deportation of “100+ million,” according to a team spokesperson.An usher attempted to confiscate the banner soon after it was unfurled in the upper deck down the first-base line, but the three individuals holding onto the sign pulled it back before eventually fleeing the prem...
