5. Hector Bellerin vs Aston Villa This is a classic “worm burner” goal. Extremely pacey shot flat along the ground. It needed to be a pacey shot, because it somehow finds it’s way past everybody in the penalty box and past the Villa keeper. 4. Daniel Sturrdige vs West Ham United After an injury blighted […]

Steven Defour’s Crazy Red Card

0 comments by Jeff Snyder

Steven Defour looked like he was on his way to becoming one of premier midfielders a few years back while at Standard Liege in Belgium. So much so that when he broke his leg, Sir Alex Ferguson sent him a get well letter. At Standard, he became a hero for the club and its captain during […]

Oh You Beauty!: Goals of the Week of 1/26/2015

0 comments by Jeff Snyder on 1/26/2015

5. Kenny McLean vs Dundee This goal is very straight forward. There’s a great little through ball, finding Kenny McLean outside the area. McLean then dribbles through 3 Dundee defenders and cracks a shot past the keeper. Straight forward, but beautiful. 4. Tomas Rosicky vs Brighton Hove Albion I love a good volleyed goal. This […]

Angel di Maria Hits Shot Out of the Stadium

0 comments by Jeff Snyder on 1/23/2015

Just kind of sums up the whole game for Manchester United, doesn’t it? Angel di Maria lines up a shot that he would have put on target any other day of the week and tamely skies his shot. Skies it so much, in fact, that it goes clear out of the stadium.

Torres Scores Another

0 comments by Jeff Snyder on 1/15/2015

I don’t quite know what’s happening but Fernando Torres just scored a second goal. Maybe it’s the fact that he’s back at the club he grew up with, or maybe it’s just he doesn’t have the pressure of the media on him, but this goal is even better than the first. Don’t cry comeback yet, […]
