Alexander Isak’s injury has prompted mirth from one Mailboxer, while we have some Aston Villa gloating. And they deserve it. Look back on a mad old 2025 and send your views to theeditor@football365.com Why Alexander Isak’s injury is actually pretty funny Saw some mope down in the comments trying to get people to say they found Isak’s injury funny, in his head I think he believed he sounded like Harry Hamlin scoring a slam dunk case closer in front of the District Attorney (ask your Dad), but he just sounded like a busy t**t, to me at least. Anywho,…
All self-respecting Christmas stories start in one of two places: Bethlehem or the North Pole. The former is firm favourite if the Almighty is featured in the narrative; the Arctic Pole is the preferred option when Santa Claus is the name in the frame. He is alleged to live there. For this impromptu Autocar Christmas tour, we were going to have to fit the whole thing into a single November day. A trip to the Middle East was out of the question and Bethlehem a definite no-no. The North Pole might not sound so easy, either, but luckily there are…

Jamie Carragher has picked his Premier League team of the season so far with Chelsea getting an apology from the Liverpool legend. Arsenal still lead the Premier League at Christmas, despite some recent underwhelming performances, with Manchester City and Aston Villa their closest challengers for the title. Newly-promoted Sunderland deserve lots of praise for their start to the new season as Regis Le Bris has guided them to sixth place in the Premier League. And Carragher faced a lot of tough decisions when selecting his Premier League team of the season, none more so than his defensive midfield picks. The…

Despite the many mis-steps made in 2025, there have been some moments of inspiration this year. Handily for features like this, at least one for every Premier League club. It might be a moment, like an individual signing or a particular substitution even, or it could be a more general shift in direction. Like the first two on the list.

With members of the media dynasty spread across the globe, full family gatherings were rare, although in 2008, according to biographer Michael Wolff, the Murdochs spent the festive season together on a flotilla of private yachts. But more often in recent years it was Rupert – for many decades the most influential media titan in the world – and his daughter Elisabeth who would make time for each other.She would certainly have…
Liverpool are down to just one recognised striker after Alexander Isak had surgery on a fracture in his left leg, ruling him out for at least a few months. The £125m summer signing was impacted by Micky van de Ven as he scored Liverpool’s opening goal against Tottenham on Saturday and the Swede had to be immediately withdrawn with the club confirming he had an ‘ankle injury that included a fibula fracture’. That has left Arne Slot with a rather threadbare front line as Hugo Ekitike represents the only recognised striker in the squad. Meanwhile, Cody Gakpo is injured, Mohamed…

The Sweden international had to be taken off the pitch immediately after scoring to goal to put Liverpool 1-0 up against Tottenham at the weekend.
