Newcastle on track for European push Last season saw West Ham United and Leicester City the closest two teams to the traditional ‘Big Six’, but Newcastle United’s start to the new term suggests they can be the best of the rest.

FC Barcelona: The glory has grown grotesque
Barcelona’s creative accounting is the biggest story of the summer so far. In a post-Covid word, paying big money for (and to) Robert Lewandowski seems crazy enough even at a club with healthy finances, though selling off ever-growing slices of the club’s future in order to do so is beyond negligent.
