The biggest moment of the Manchester Derby, so far. Macrus Rashford showed a bit of goal scoring swagger by sliding past Demichelis with ease to put Manchester United ahead.

This season has not been a great one for fans of Aston Villa. With 30 games played, they have only won a total of three and sit with a total of 16 points. Some pretty abysmal stuff. Even when they have managed to simply not lose, the Aston Villa players have looked resigned to their fate. With […]

Rafa Benitez has taken one of the hardest jobs in the Premier League. Newcastle United has never been an easy job, but, with the expectation of escaping relegation, it has become near impossible. But that is exactly what Benitez will be expected to do just that. Benitez has coached some of the biggest teams in […]

This season has seen an unprecedented amount of success for traditionally smaller teams, compared to the larger ones. The obvious is Leicester City, who are currently five points ahead at the top of the table. There are others that need credit, though. Teams like West Ham United, Stoke, and, to an extent, Watford have all […]

With the 3-0 loss to Liverpool yesterday, Manchester City sit on tied on points, though with a game in hand, with city rivals Manchester United. They may have won the Capital One Cup, but Manchester City now find themselves in a scrap for 4th, not just the title. We have to ask, does this loss take Manchester […]

The Capital One Cup final was a taxing match for both sets of fans. It was an exciting, nervy match that needed to be decided by penalty kicks. Now that the dust has cleared a bit, the rest of the season can continue. There are a lot of lessons that both sets of players can learn […]

What’s At Stake in the Capital One Cup Final The Capital One Cup final is this Sunday. Call it a Mickey Mouse Cup, call it a waste of time, but I’m willing to bet if you’re saying that, it’s because you don’t root for Manchester City or Liverpool. At the end of the day, the […]

Since taking over at on January 4th, Zinedine Zidane’s Real Madrid are undefeated with a point total of 17 from a possible 21 (or 2.43/game). That form would have them in 2nd place with 61 points if it had been for the entire season. Their form is even more incredible when you look at their […]

A look at the teams still in the Europa League will surprise anyone who hasn’t paid attention to the league in the last few years. Don’t feel bad, most of the soccer-watching public doesn’t pay attention to that league. But a quick run down of the teams look like this: Liverpool, Manchester United, Tottenham, Dortmund, Porto, […]

This weekend featured a title dust-up that promised to shake things up in the title race, either with a new league leader or solidifying who was in charge. What nobody expected to happen was former league favorites, Manchester City, falling even farther behind. With the most expensive team in the league and everybody struggling so […]

Gary Neville is having a torrid time at Valencia. Valencia, one of the biggest teams in La Liga, currently sit in 14th and in are in a terrible run of form. When I say terrible, I mean winless, outside of the Copa del Rey, since early November. When Gary Neville took over in December, many […]

Looking at the title — yes, I know, it’s crazy to ask the question. But it has seemed to me that it is genuinely a question that people seem to be avoiding. Without a doubt, Leicester winning the Premier League would be one of the greatest stories of an underdog overachieving in the history of […]

We’re over the halfway hump of the season now, so we can expect to have a great look at who will be in the Top Four come the end of the season. It has been a really odd season thus far, with teams you wouldn’t expect jumping into the mix, and many teams struggling to […]
