'Boom' - The night Crystal Palace looked back to their best
After a 2-1 Premier League defeat to Sunderland in January, Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner said: “We couldn’t make a sub, we have no one on the bench. I feel that we’re being abandoned completely.”It was the post-script of a series of comments from Glasner about Palace not strengthening their squad in the summer after securing European football. The climax had arrived a day earlier when the Austrian confirmed he would depart Selhurst Park in June amid a nine-match winless streak across co...

The state of spin bowling in England — told through the eyes of three bowlers
The Athletic has launched a Cricket WhatsApp Channel. Click here to join.It is one of English cricket’s biggest problems — the apparent and perennial dearth of top-quality spin bowling in the red-ball game.It is an issue that led England to pluck Shoaib Bashir from virtual county obscurity two years ago and groom him to be their Ashes spinner, only to lose their nerve when his moment came. Instead, they turned to Will Jacks, a batter who bowls off-spin as a second suit.Advertiseme...

With Spurs’ confidence on the floor, how does Roberto De Zerbi pick his players up?
Tottenham Hotspur have not found themselves in this position overnight.While their marvellous home has become a destination for world-famous pop stars, NFL events, and boxing title fights, the football team hasn’t been built with the same care and attention. As with most poorly built constructions, it has been compromised by long-term defects that no one has invested time or money to fix.Advertisement
Aston Villa might not be stylish. They might not even play well. But they are ruthlessly efficient
Two towers are prominent in the Bologna skyline: Le Due Torri, symbols of the city’s historic wealth and power.The Garisenda, the smaller tower with a pronounced lean, is striking. These days, though, the surrounding area is roped off in fear that debris is increasingly likely to fall, owing to the tower’s growing slant. A rough estimate is that it will take €20million (£17.4m) and at least a decade to restore the tower to complete safety.Advertisement
Wolves are going down. But they will still have a significant say in who joins them in the Championship
For Wolverhampton Wanderers, the die is cast.Barring the greatest feat of escapology in the history of the Premier League, they will be relegated back to the Championship in the coming weeks. That much has been grimly apparent for most of their 2025-26 season.But what is becoming increasingly clear is that, in the six weeks left of their eight-year stay in the top division, they can also have as big a say as anyone over who joins them in taking the drop down to the second tier.Advertisement

Martine Grael won Olympic golds and then made SailGP history: 'It does bother me I’m the first'
Editor’s note: This story is part of The Athletic’s coverage of SailGP, an international sailing competition that has been likened to Formula 1 on water. Follow SailGP here.Talking about being a female in a male-dominated job is not Martine Grael’s favorite topic, but the Brazilian accepts it’s part of her story. She is a role model — the first and, as yet, only female driver in the six-year history of SailGP — but she doesn’t particularly enjoy being a pioneer.“It does bother me that...
How to fuel a heavyweight like Tyson Fury: 3,500-calorie days, blended veg, and secret salmon
Beating Tyson Fury is a mighty challenge, considering only Oleksandr Usyk has managed to do it in 37 professional fights. However, another battle, which might be just as tough, is getting him to eat salmon. One man has also conquered that obstacle.“He doesn’t really like fish,” said Anthony Pressley, the British heavyweight star’s former chef. “Tyson’s very particular about what he likes and doesn’t like, and so I would I’d say: ‘Tyson, we gotta eat salmon three days a week. We need those Omega-...

Graham Scott: From being chased by Jose Mourinho to becoming referee columnist for The Athletic
Premier League referees often feel besieged from all sides, as players, coaches, fans and the media take turns to criticise them whenever they do not like a decision or think it is plain wrong.I have been chased across the pitch by Wayne Rooney and around the technical area by Jose Mourinho. I’ve fallen out with Harry Kane (repeatedly), had Jurgen Klopp scream in my face and united a stadium of 60,000 people in the opinion that I had no idea what I was doing.Advertisement

West Ham fans booed Maximilian Kilman – what is likely to happen next?
It was intended as a light-hearted joke, but it illustrated just how desperate Luis Boa Morte had become.It is almost 20 years since the winger was booed by sections of the West Ham United fanbase during a Premier League game against Liverpool at Upton Park in January 2008.Leading up to West Ham’s 1-0 victory, Boa Morte, who joined from Fulham for £5million ($6.7m) in 2007, had only scored once in 30 league games.

Newcastle and Eddie Howe want to keep working together — but this could be a defining moment
In the spring of 2019, Eddie Howe found it difficult to drive to work.It wasn’t injury, it wasn’t mechanical trouble and it certainly wasn’t traffic because his home was only a couple of miles away from Bournemouth’s training ground. Yet, as he stood in front of his car each morning, keys in hand, there was a flicker of hesitation. He no longer felt a pull toward the club he had rebuilt from top to bottom and lifted through the divisions. In its place was a nudge in the opposite direction.Advert...
