- [Really Annoying Things About Football Right Now!](https://www.rantaboutfootball.com/really-annoying-things-about-football-right-now/) - Football stirs emotions like little else and whilst many of us love it with a passion, at other times we can hate it almost as much.

I will leave the club at the end of the season. I can understand that that’s a shock for a lot of people, in this moment when you hear it for the first time, but obviously, I can explain it – or at least try to explain it.” The words which

Presumably they are expecting Nuno,
- [Brazilian Giants Santos Relegated for First Time](https://www.rantaboutfootball.com/brazilian-giants-santos-relegated-for-first-time/) - To many fans, especially those aged over 60, Pele remains the greatest footballer of all time. Some may prefer Lionel Messi, Diego Maradona, Cristiano Ronaldo or others, but the Brazilian legend is undoubtedly right up there in the reckoning. Younger supporters – and less avid fans –may know relatively little about Pele, or Santos, the
- [Ranking the Most Expensive Goalkeepers of All Time - Kepa, Alisson, Buffon, Onana, Ederson](https://www.rantaboutfootball.com/ranking-the-most-expensive-goalkeepers-of-all-time-kepa-alisson-buffon-onana-ederson/) - The majority of the most expensive football transfers of all time have involved attacking players. Such is the premium clubs will pay for a footballer who can score or create goals, the last time the transfer world record was broken by a defender was way back in 1922, when Sunderland paid South Shields the handsome
- [Derbies in FA Cup Finals: How Many Times Has the FA Cup Final Involved a Derby?](https://www.rantaboutfootball.com/derbies-in-fa-cup-finals-how-many-times-has-the-fa-cup-final-involved-a-derby/) - Manchester United and Manchester City made it through to the final of the 2022/23 FA Cup after they overcame Brighton and Sheffield United respectively in the semis.

- [Sevilla's Europa League Dominance: 7 Wins in the Last 18 Seasons](https://www.rantaboutfootball.com/sevillas-europa-league-dominance/) - When Sevilla beat Jose Mourinho’s Italian side Roma in the Europa League final at the end of May 2023, it was the Spanish club’s seventh success in the competition (including its forerunner, the UEFA Cup).

- [Scottish Football: Are Celtic and Rangers Too Dominant?](https://www.rantaboutfootball.com/scottish-football-are-celtic-and-rangers-too-dominant/) - On Saturday 3rd June Celtic will play Championship side Inverness Caledonian Thistle in the final of the Scottish Cup. The Glasgow giants are looking to seal a treble, having already landed the league and League Cup. There are no certainties in football but odds of 1/10 for the Bhoys to win in 90 minutes and
- [Who is Roberto De Zerbi? Everything You Need to Know About Brighton's Manager](https://www.rantaboutfootball.com/who-is-roberto-de-zerbi-everything-you-need-to-know-about-brightons-manager/) - The 2022/23 Premier League season has been incredible and perhaps the talking points that come to define it will only be known once the dust has settled. Will we remember Erling Haaland’s many, many goals, a Man City treble, the greatest relegation battle in PL history, the emergence of Newcastle as a major force, Man
- [Harry Kane: Legend or Flat-Track Bully?](https://www.rantaboutfootball.com/harry-kane-legend-or-flat-track-bully/) - Some call the England manager’s role the impossible job, whilst others call it the hardest job in the world. Gareth Southgate seems to be making it look relatively easy – certainly very possible at any rate. That’s a different matter though, because both Wayne Rooney and Harry Kane might well argue that being your country’s
- [January 2023 Transfer Window Round-Up: Biggest Premier League Deals](https://www.rantaboutfootball.com/january-2023-transfer-window-round-up/) - The 2023 January transfer window has been nothing short of manic, with Premier League clubs and their respective owners (we’re looking at you Todd Boehly) spending like they’ve never spent before. A jaw-dropping £780.1 million was splashed on 52 permanent transfers, with an enormous number of loan deals also being struck. Despite this, only £105m
- [Merseyside Derbies in the Premier League: Who Has Won More Games, Liverpool or Everton?](https://www.rantaboutfootball.com/merseyside-derbies-in-the-premier-league/) - Since the first Merseyside derby was played between Everton and Liverpool in October 1894, the sides have met more than 240 times. The sides have both been in the top division of English football since the 1962/63 season, which means the Merseyside derby has been going on season-on-season in the top flight longer than any
- [How Much Have Chelsea Spent Under Their New Owners?](https://www.rantaboutfootball.com/how-much-have-chelsea-spent-under-their-new-owners/) - The financial might of the Premier League seems to increase every year, with clubs in the bottom half of the table regularly buying players for £10m+. Indeed, we quite often see relatively average players, or certainly unproven ones, move to new clubs for fees of £20m or more. However, even viewed through this lens, and
- [Worst Premier League Title Collapses](https://www.rantaboutfootball.com/worst-premier-league-title-collapses/) - At the time of writing (21/3/23), Arsenal are sitting pretty eight points clear at the top of the Premier League table with 10 games of the 2022/23 campaign remaining. But Gunners fans are not relaxing just yet, especially with second-placed Manchester City putting in some scarily good displays of late. But as Arsenal focus on
- [How many Premier League goals will Erling Haaland score this season?](https://www.rantaboutfootball.com/how-many-premier-league-goals-will-erling-haaland-score-this-season/) - Erling Haaland has done what Erling Haaland does and yet many seem surprised by his goalscoring feats at Man City. His stats at every single club he has played for have been phenomenal and he is only likely to get better given he won’t turn 23 until July. Moreover, he has never played at a
- [Why Are Everton So Bad?](https://www.rantaboutfootball.com/why-are-everton-so-bad/) - Everton are objectively and historically one of the biggest clubs in English football. Only three clubs have won the top-flight league title more times than the Toffees and only two have appeared in the semi finals of the FA Cup more often. They have appeared in more top-flight seasons than any other club and were

They also finally ended their long wait to win a Premier League title in 2020 and won both domestic cups in 2021/22. However, by their high standards, Liverpool have

Just past the halfway point of their league campaign, the Toffees have amassed a mere 15 points from their 20 games. Currently in 19th position on 15 points, they are only above rock-bottom Southampton on goal
