Banter: Red Bulls troll NYCFC on Twitter before Derby

VIDEO: Arsenal is destroying Hull

This wasn’t supposed to be that much of a competitive game. Arsenal is 3rd in the table while Hull is 16th so theoretically Arsenal should win. Hull needs to win in order to give themselves some breathing room in the relegation battle but it doesn’t look like Hull is getting any points today. Arsenal is […]

Chelsea may be boring, but they’re worthy champions

Chelsea clinched the EPL title yesterday with three games left when they beat Crystal Palace 1-0. I have to admit, I don’t like how Chelsea plays the game. The “park the bus” counterattacking is not something I’m excited about when I wake up in the morning to watch them play. Chelsea plays a rather defensive […]

VIDEO: Eden Hazard’s first half goal may clinch EPL title for Chelsea

Chelsea can clinch the EPL title with a win against Crystal Palace. This Eden Hazard goal may clinch that. Hazard won the penalty near the end of the first half. Yeah, there’s no contact on the play but James McArthur shouldn’t have his leg out that far and Hazard is trying to not get hurt. […]

John Carver throws just about every Newcastle player under the bus

John Carver loves Newcastle United, there’s no doubt about that. Carver is from Newcastle, played in Newcastle’s academy and has been an assistant coach since 2011. Now that he has become head coach, Newcastle has a 2-12-3 record since Carver took over. Bad went to worse for Newcastle after today’s game against Leicester City. Leicester […]

Oscar playing after concussion confirms protocols don’t work

There is a famous quote by former Vice President John Nance Garner who said that the vice presidency is “not worth a bucket of warm piss.” Based on what we saw during the Arsenal/Chelsea game, the EPL’s new concussion protocols may be in that same bucket. Chelsea forward Oscar and Arsenal goalkeeper David Ospina collided […]

VIDEO: The timeless Andrea Pirlo stuns us all with this FK goal

There’s nothing that can be said about Juventus’ Andrea Pirlo that we haven’t said in the past. He’s timeless and seems as if he can do it all on the pitch. Today, he did what he’s done his entire career, score stupifying free kicks that freeze and stun everyone. Latest victim: Torino The goal put […]

VIDEO: Brad Guzan suffers one of the worst howlers in history

I don’t know what Brad Guzan was thinking on this goal but he most likely just handed the starting job to Shay Given at the FA Cup Final next month. In the beginning of the game, Guzan tried to pass the ball to an Aston Villa player. Instead, the 11 year veteran missed and passed […]
