Last summer’s Premier League transfer window proves one thing: they don’t make much difference This season shows that 'winning the transfer window' has little relevance to winning matches, or to landing the Premier League title

I wrote down a list of the best 30 players in the Premier League this season (which I shall not share) and none of them were new signings. Clubs spent £2bn on new players last summer but transfer windows change less than we think

That’s my why”: When two civil war stories meet – and lead to the A-Leagues.

Loved catching up with Macarthur’s Ariath Piol to hear his story & how he got here.
