WATCH: Diego Costa makes Arsenal pay for Red Card

0 comments by Andrew Coppens on 1/24/2016

Diego Costa has been a thorn in the side of London-rival Arsenal ever since arriving at Chelsea. He did it again on Sunday, following up a masterful run that earned a foul and a red card against Per Mertesacker with the strike that pulled Chelsea ahead. Some may question the red card, but it appeared Costa […]

Has January transfer window become useless for EPL title contenders?

0 comments by Andrew Coppens on 1/19/2016

We’ve gone past the halfway point of the January transfer window, and that sound you are hearing is crickets on the transfer wire. What was once a crazy flurry of wheeling and dealing has seeming ground to a halt this year. That’s especially the case for the teams fighting at the top of the English […]

Wayne Rooney is simply a club legend at Manchester United. He’s seen and done just about everything, but one thing seemed to elude him annually — a goal at Anfield. There isn’t a more hated player amongst the Liverpool crowd, as Rooney not only started out at Everton, but is also a thorn in their […]

Is Zinedine Zidane the solution to Real Madrid’s title woes?

0 comments by Andrew Coppens on 1/4/2016

There’s no mistaking what the goal is at Real Madrid each and every year — beat arch-rival Barcelona and win the La Liga title. While there have been wins over Barca, Los Blancos have not won a La Liga crown since the 2011-12 season. Real Madrid have also failed to rack up the Copa Del […]

Manchester City still has hopes of another English Premier League championship, but its opponent on Saturday, Watford, have European dreams of their own. The two sides weren’t going to back down, and Watford has been dangerous on set pieces all season long. Watford proved why once again, as Alexsander Kolarov was a victim of a […]

Leicester City have been living a dream season so far, sitting atop the EPL table and defying all the critics and pundits along the way. A key component of their success has been striker Jamie Vardy, who has been easily the most lethal striker in the EPL this season. However, even the best of goal-scorers […]

Would Jose Mourinho make any difference to Manchester United?

0 comments by Andrew Coppens on 12/30/2015

As this one gets typed, Manchester United manager Louis Van Gaal is still in the managers chair — a feat many expected to not be the case following two lackluster results over the crazy holiday week that was. Those results should’ve had Van Gaal out of a job already according to many, and even some […]

Spurs show title contender status with gritty win over Watford

To say the 2015-16 English Premier League season has been a wild one would be a gross understatement. Months of waiting for tiny Leicester City to fall off has lead only to the Foxes still sitting atop of the EPL table, Watford have gone from relegation favorites to fighting for a European spot and Chelsea […]

WATCH: Shaqiri gets brace in spectacular fashion

0 comments by Andrew Coppens

Xherdan Shaqiri, the goal scorer? Coming in to Monday’s match the Stoke midfielder was more about assisting (3) than scoring (0). That all changed, as the Swiss midfielder gave the Potters a 1-0 lead in the 16th minute. However, he wasn’t done with the scoring and his brace came in spectacular fashion. Shaqiri got on […]

WATCH: Ighalo out-muscle Spurs for equalizer

0 comments by Andrew Coppens

Odion Ighalo has re-adjusted to life in the EPL rather nicely, and he’s become a key reason Watford are battling for European positions as we embark on the crazy transition to the 2nd half of the season. He proved the 13 goals already scored were not flukes by besting one of the better back lines […]

WATCH: Watford’s Ighalo turns Courtois around after wunderstrike

0 comments by Andrew Coppens on 12/26/2015

Watford forward Odion Ighalo is having a breakout season, and his side is clearly benefiting from it sitting just a few points outside of European competition. He continued that breakout season by making one of the EPL’s best goalkeepers look completely silly. With the score tied 1-1, Ighalo took a wünderstrike just inside the box and […]

0 comments by Andrew Coppens

Tottenham Hotspur have a long history of dropping points at home against sides they’ve had no business losing to. It’s often cited as reason for failure to consistently punch their way in to the Champions League places. Boxing Day 2015 is telling a very different story, and it has a lot to do with home-grown […]

Van Gaal’s days numbered at Manchester United, but is it really his fault?

0 comments by Andrew Coppens

As the final whistle blew and the scoreboard read 2-0 Stoke City, the visiting Manchester United walked away embarrassed and throughly defeated by a side with little of the history, big name players or lofty wage bill of themselves. It wasn’t the first time in the 2015-16 campaign under Louis Van Gaal, but it may […]

Leicester City won’t be sellers in January transfer window

0 comments by Andrew Coppens on 12/24/2015

Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez — the Leicester City duo sit atop the English Premier League score charts and sit atop most big clubs wish lists heading in to the January transfer window. Easy call — sell high if you’re the Foxes. At least that seems to be the logic, and in most years a […]

The Sun has a hilarious response to Van Gaal’s call for apology from UK media

0 comments by Andrew Coppens

Louis Van Gaal’s first year-and-half run in the bosses chair at Manchester United hasn’t exactly gone as planned. His team has gone from EPL favorites in some circles to out of the Champions League, and the Dutch boss is none too happy with the treatment he has received from the notoriously brutal English media. In […]
