8+ min ago (437+ words) Newcastle United appear ready to give Lewis Hall some much-needed help by making an offer for a new signing in the January transfer window. Indeed, the Newcastle United squad is not blessed with'options at'left-back.' Hall is one of Newcastle's most important players and the drop-off in performances without him in the side is a major concern. It's obvious what Newcastle United need in January. Now you have the money to spend. Use it wisely! Dan Burn has done a decent enough job in that role in Hall's absence but clearly isn't fully comfortable. Alex Murphy hasn't been trusted by Eddie Howe often enough and while Tino Livramento is capable of playing there, he's needed at right-back. Geordie Boot Boys have argued that Newcastle need to sign a new full-back and it appears as if the club are considering doing exactly…...

1+ hour, 2+ min ago (688+ words) Jermain Defoe, left, and Aleksandar Mitrovic celebrate their goals in 2016, the last league game between Newcastle and Sunderland (Getty Images) Getty Images The derby was always gory, never glory. To summarise that spell for Geordies, it was black and white and dread all over. It is never, ever a free hit. It is a game of consequences, very often negative. Can it, could it, ever be anything else? Could the Tyne-Wear derby ever showcase a region's strength and quality, rather than document mishap? Might it even develop into a tussle for excellence rather than an exercise in futility? Kind of. Maybe. For now. Not once but twice, Howe deployed the phrase "arousal levels. Newcastle's head coach is a deliberate, cautious public speaker and this tilt towards pillow talk was unexpected, particularly in the context of Sunderland. Yet his meaning was…...

1+ hour, 8+ min ago (283+ words) Saturday, 13 Dec 2025 LIVERPOOL will look to continue regaining consistency and secure a positive result when they host Brighton & Hove Albion at Anfield today.

The 1-0 win over Inter Milan in the Champions League in midweek was a huge relief and a welcome boost for Liverpool, given their recent struggles. They now need to kick on to salvage whatever they can from this troubled season. Against Fabian Hurzeler's team, Slot is likely to deploy a similar formation to the one that overcame Inter. Liverpool will need to maintain stability and control, particularly in front of the defence, to minimise mistakes. It must be said that Liverpool are not truly out of…...
