Neil Redfearn noticed Leeds United pair doing the 'simple things really, really well' vs Plymouth Argyle

Nov 2, 2024 | leedsunited.news | Gary Kirkpatrick

Leeds United’s first-half performance blew away a very poor Plymouth Argyle side as the Elland Road outfit’s great form continued. Dan James, Joel Piroe and Brenden Aaronson all scored between 30 and 38 minutes to put the game out of sight before the interval. Leeds took their foot off the gas in the second-half as Wayne Rooney’s Plymouth failed to come up with any answers after such a tepid first-half display.

There’s plenty of Leeds United fans out there tonight who will be eating their words regarding Joel Piroe. The Elland Road side were utterly relentless against a clueless Plymouth Argyle side as they secured one of the easiest three points they’ll get in the Championship this season. Wayne Rooney’s Plymouth set up to defend deep but that system backfired massively as Leeds dominated possession and picked them apart without breaking a sweat.

Dwight Gayle has provided his first interview as a Hibs player after signing for the Easter Road outfit on a one-year deal.

Neil Lennon makes 'strange' claim about Rangers captain James Tavernier's POTY nomination

May 4, 2024 | hitc.com | Gary Kirkpatrick

Neil Lennon admits he is a little bit puzzled as to why Rangers skipper James Tavernier has been nominated for the PFA Scotland Player of the Year award. And his reasoning is based around Aberdeen star and top scorer for the season Bojan Miovski, who has been a shining light amid a dark campaign for the Dons. The Pittodrie side will have to settle for a place in the bottom six of the Scottish Premiership having sacked Barry Robson while also seeing his successor Neil Warnock leave the club too.

Feb 9, 2024 | hitc.com | Gary Kirkpatrick

HITC Football explain what the proposed blue card rule in football is amid IFAB’s plans to trial sin bins. We also look at what the Premier League have said. We heard in November 2023 that trials introducing sin bins to the professional sphere of football were recommended by the game’s lawmakers IFAB [BBC Sport].

Newcastle United have seen out another transfer deadline day with the January window for 2024 slammed shut. So here is each incoming and outgoing completed at St James’ Park. Newcastle fans were left very frustrated across much of January as the club failed to make any winter additions to the squad before deadline day largely due to FFP restraints. The club did sanction a number of exits but that obviously did nothing to excite the fanbase.

Here, HITC Football list every Liverpool transfer deadline day done deal as well as the rest of the club’s incomings and outgoings throughout January 2024. No matter who Liverpool signed in January, the news would never top manager Jurgen Klopp announcing his shock exit from Anfield this summer.

Here, HITC Football list all Man City transfer deadline day done deals as well as the rest of the club’s incomings and outgoings throughout January 2024. Manchester City went into the January transfer window with some spare cash to spend whilst being mindful of the dreaded FFP restraints that are shackling clubs up and down the Premier League this month. The Citizens are usually shrewd with their business in the winter and it has to be said, it’s been no different this month.
Two transfers Newcastle could complete on January transfer deadline day

Feb 1, 2024 | geordiebootboys.com | Gary Kirkpatrick

Now before we go any further, we must add a rather significant caveat to this piece. Newcastle United, like all fans of the club know, are in a sticky situation at the moment and have been since the January transfer window opened. The Premier League’s profit and sustainability rules mean the Toon are unable to splurge large sums of cash this month and that is evident in the fact they haven’t even bought a single player yet.
