My go to websites for football news & gossip are BBC Sport and Football365, and I also browse Twitter/X. Aside from club specific pages/forums, the Athletic (which I'm not going to pay for) and the newspaper websites, are there any other decent pages you regularly visit?

I follow my local team on Facebook, and the fans' chat page. Not interested in anything else so very rarely look elsewhere, except either BBC sport or Sky Sports app for scores.

Athletic is the one without as much bullst (and if you can get it on offer its good value - currently paying £1 per month)

A shifty looking character outide the betting shop hands me a grubby brown envelope full of newspaper cuttings.

Team subreddit and official website, occasionally BBC Sport. Livescore for keeping track of scores but I've started to hate the now ad riddled app. Stupid devs.

BBC Football, however the undue prominence they give Women’s football annoys. And the way they will go “arsenal leading Chelsea” and you think “I didn’t know there was a game on today” and then it turns out they mean Arsenal LADIES are playing Chelsea LADIES.

I am all for equality, but in this case it is silly.

Absolutely agree with that it's very irritating.

Football365 is generally pretty good to browse and it has some good contributors like John Nicholson who aren't afraid to call others in the football media out for the constant bullsttery that goes on. There are also other features like their Topical Top Ten, England Ladder, Winners & Losers etc which are good for a 5min read but the website is getting to be unreadable with the number of adverts and pop-outs. Suppose I'm looking for more of that, really

I usually skim a mix of club sites and journos on social, then keep an eye on live stuff so I don’t miss anything mid‑match. I’ve ended up using rubiscore.com a fair bit because it gives me quick player ratings and stats without drowning me in clutter, so it’s handy to check while watching or catching up later.

Agree with the above re. the BBC although they are not the only media outlet guilty of doing it.
Also this season the sports pages have had a revamp and the top navigation has been changed so there isn't a quick link to football you have to go in to the drop down menu which is an extra click which annoys me for some reason.
