On Sunday, Manchester City’s Sergio Aguero elbowed West Ham’s Winston Reid during City’s 3-1 victory.

Almost immediately, social media […]

Manchester United tried just about everything to score and grab the lead against surprisingly undefeated Hull City. It didn’t seem like anything was going to work and at one time or another, looked like Hull would sneak with a goal. But in the 92nd minute, it wasn’t Rooney or Pogba or Zlatan who became the […]

It took Jamie Vardy to his third match of the season but he has seemingly found his touch that make him a household name last season as he scored against Swansea City.

The transfer window can be a wonderful time of optimism for fans. The thought of your team signing that one final piece to complete your team and go for a championship is tough to put out of your mind if said move hasn’t happened yet. When it comes to Arsenal, they seem to be linked […]
