This best goals of this week come to us mostly from the Premier League. With Southampton shipping six past a weak Aston Villa and Liverpool being shocked by a determined Crystal Palace, there were plenty of quality goals to choose from. 5. Danny Rose vs Hull City This goal is all about the chipped assist. […]

With this season drawing to a fairly anti-climactic end, we can now look back over the season to analyze what could have been done better and look ahead to next season. The weeks after the end of the season is never a safe time for Premier League managers, with many of the relegating teams choosing […]

5. David Silva vs QPR This goal is all about that backheel from Wilfred Bony. Bony has a great positional awareness, and is able to find David Silva happily obliges. His one touch takes him a little too far, where I thought the keeper would cut out the angle, but Silva does really well to […]

You just have to feel sorry for Daniele Padelli in this case. Under no pressure from the striker, Padelli scuffs his clearance. Somehow, he mishits the ball so much that he puts that exact right amount of spin on the ball to put it in the net. If goalkeeper howlers is your kind of thing, […]

5. Philippe Coutinho vs QPR Coutinho just can’t stop scoring nice goals. It’s almost like he’s allergic to easy ones. Coutinho receives the ball from a well-weighted pass from Rickie Lambert and curls it into the net. 4. Alexis Sanchez vs Hull The fact that it takes a slight deflection doesn’t matter too much, since […]

QPR v Chelsea Sunday, April 12th, 2015 Result: Chelsea Win, 1-0 This game, which Chelsea in no way deserved to win, is the perfect example of why Chelsea will win the EPL this season. There was almost an inevitability to both that game and this season. No matter how they are playing, Chelsea would pull […]

My god, there were some crazy goals this past week. Looking at the fact that I genuinely couldn’t pick between only five goals of the week, let alone order them, this week we’ll be looking at seven (7) goals. Not only that, they’re all the best goal of the week. Yay! Everybody is a winner! […]

5. Leroy Sane vs Wolfsburg The move is started off with a great run from Leroy Sane, who bursts into the Wolfsburg half in a lightning paced counterattack. I’m not quite sure if the moves he pulls to beat the three defenders was on purpose or accidental but it looked pretty all the same. Quality […]

Somebody give that man a raise. Seriously, look at the brilliant way he handled that group of players. The unnamed ref in Sunday’s CAF Champions League match between Moroccan Moghreb Tetouan and Egyptian Al Ahly was surrounded by players from the red-clad Al Ahly after making a call that Al Ahly were less than pleased […]

5. Chory Castro vs Deportivo What a beautiful volleyed goal. The precision on the pass to find Castro on the wing was excellent but most defenses would have expected Castro to cross the ball. Instead, Chory Castro opts for the spectacular, smacking the ball first time in the air, rocketing it into the net. 4. […]

Looks like Liverpool have accidentally leaked their own 2015/16 third kit during the broadcast reveal of their 2015/16 home kit. If you look right over Emre Can’s shoulder in the above image, you’ll see a black and white Liverpool kit that looks suspiciously like the third kit that was leaked by @fulmerRawk back in October, […]

5. Luis Suarez vs Real Madrid The winning goal of El Clasico. The biggest reason it is on here was the wonderful assist that put Suarez through on goal. This Barcelona squad is finally clicking. It’s a terrifying prospect for anyone who has to play them. 4. Eden Hazard vs Hull An absolute cracker of […]

5. Thomas Muller vs Werder Bremen You can’t give Muller a second chance to get a goal. He’ll get it every time. The first attempt was set up by a wonderful volleyed through ball, but well stopped by the keeper. It almost looks like the attack is over when the ball is cleared to a […]

Gus Poyet has been sacked by Sunderland this morning after an embarrassing 4-0 loss to fellow relegation strugglers Aston Villa. Poyet’s Sunderland have been in terrible […]

Zlatan Ibrahimovic looks to be in trouble again. He is player who has always worn his heart on his sleeve. Whether it was last week when he referred to the Chelsea players as “babies” or any number of crazy quotes, the player known simply as Zlatan says what he wants. So yesterday, when being filmed after […]
