Newcastle United have been the big movers in this January transfer window. With four players brought in that are expected to start, or at least challenge to start, we are left to wonder what the heck is happening at Tyneside. This is a team with a famously stingy owner, who is content to take more […]

For a long time, there has been a debate for a long time about whether or not there was still value in the FA Cup. It is the oldest football association cup in the world, first being held in 1871. It is also the most significant English domestic cup competition, and winning the competition qualifies […]

With the Premier League season now over the halfway hump, we can start making predictions for the end of the season. Specifically, who will be relegated? Currently, there are some real favorites for relegation in Aston Villa, Sunderland, and Newcastle. I really picked an incredible season to ask that question. While only 11 points separate […]

This has been an odd Premier League season, and one team that truly represents that is Liverpool F.C. With all of the ups and downs they have had, from sacking Brendan Rodgers to hiring Jurgen Klopp, what would a successful Liverpool season look like? That’s a big question, one that has been asked in several […]

While I have discussed this topic before, the debate still rages on as to whether it is a wise decision to implement video replay technology in soccer. The issue, however, couldn’t be more clear. The International Football Association Board (IFAB) has even announced that they plan to start making steps towards introducing video replay technology […]

With the £4m transfer of Charlie Austin from QPR to Southampton blazing to completion over the weekend, we need to look at who got the best deal. It would be easy to say Southampton. They got a quality goalscorer who is Premier League proven in Austin for only £4m. With their top scorer Graziano Pelle […]

The Northwest Derby, the rivalry match between Liverpool and Manchester United, is one of those storied rivalries that transcends coaches, players, and owners. No matter where you are in the table, no matter what you have been playing like, no matter what competition it is in, these two teams always want to beat each other. […]

As we just pass the halfway point in this 2015-16 Premier League season, some managers are under more pressure than others to perform and to keep their own jobs past the end of this season. These five managers are under the most pressure and are likely to get sacked between now and the end of […]

One of the biggest stories of 2015 was Chelsea’s woes, both on and off the pitch. After the sacking of Jose Mourinho, results are starting to turn around. They have gone from losing to Bournemouth to beating Crystal Palace by three goals. A pretty remarkable turn around. Does this mean the Chelsea of old are […]

The Premier League has been in absolute turmoil this season. Depending on where you sit and who you support, this could be either a good thing or a bad thing. If you happen to be a fan of a traditionally “big” club, one that finishes in the top half of the table consistently, it is […]

This year has been absolutely spoiled for interesting or insane stories in the soccer world. It was genuinely difficult to pick just ten. So here we are, with 2015 drawing rapidly to a close. Which of the amazing stories this year had us speculating and arguing from January to December? Well… 10) MLS and the Possible […]

The Liverpool First Team took some time off of training the other day to take part in a Secret Santa. While there were some great ones, like Philippe Coutinho knowing exactly what to get Jose Enrique, others were not so lucky (sorry, Joe Allen). Jurgen Klopp even got in on the fun, with Nathaniel Clyne […]

A Premier League Christmas With Christmas upon us, we’ll all be enjoying time with family and time off work and school, but, most importantly, time with presents. Premier League clubs are the same way. With January upon us, and a busy holiday game schedule, many clubs will look at the coming days as a time […]

“Has Jurgen Klopp been figured out already?” I was shocked when I heard those words muttered during the broadcast of the Liverpool-Watford Premier League match this past weekend. I’m sorry, but to say that when the man has less than half a season under his belt is just ludicrous. While Liverpool are not playing well right […]
