The manager is not yet in Alex Ferguson and José Mourinho’s league, but his conspiracy theories have reached new levels English football loves the word “dossier”. It doesn’t love dossiers themselves, of course; they’re for nerds – unless, that is, they’re a “secret dossier”, which have a thrilling redolence of spy dramas, invisible ink and dead drops. Non-secret dossiers, though, are inherently r…

Manchester United: always crashing in the same Carrick. The obvious question after this 2-0 defeat to Chelsea is how much longer United will continue to lose games under the current manager, as opposed to losing games under …

Poor Nottingham Forest. And, especially, poor Nikola Milenkovic. It would be unfair to say Brentford fluked a win in the 100th Premier League game here, but Forest had 15 shots to their six and have every right to wonder why luck has deserted them so absolutely this season. Only one of Brentford’s goals went down as an own-goal, but both went in after hefty deflections off Milenkovic. A sixth suc…

Manchester City have lost two consecutive league games but no alarm should be sounded. Enzo Maresca’s fast-passing unit were defeated on Saturday because Yasin Ayari took one of Brighton’s rare chances, the 11th-minute winner deriving from what appeared a wrongly awarded free-kick for Elliot Anderson’s “foul” on the same player. Fabian Hürzeler’s team can be proud of victory here – and of being t…
