Jordan Henderson man! Just when you thought you saw everything out of that man, he does something like this and just render you speechless. Benefitting from a Vincent Kompany mistake (sound familiar), Joe Hart stretched as much as he could but couldn’t get anywhere close to Henderson’s shot. I agree with Arlo White, that’s a […]

Saido Bernahino opened the scoring for the five 10:00 games today with this beauty of a strike in the second minute against Sunderland. Off of a free kick, the ball was headed right to Bernahino’s foot and the West Brom player one-touched the ball home into the upper corner of the goal. Simply precise placement […]

Crystal Palace beat West Ham 3-1 in the early EPL game and they beat West Ham at their own game. Crystal Palace scored off of free kicks and headers, essentially Big Sam Allardyce’s tactics and effectively eliminated West Ham from top four consideration. Down by eight points and behind four other teams and they all […]

It was a slow start to Champions League action today but things really spiced up. In what was described as two of the easier games to predict, there were upsets aplenty today as the underdogs handedly defeated their opponents. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to quietly delete my preview article because today did […]

Many people, including me, have put Arsenal as the favorites to defeat Monaco and advance in the UEFA Champions League. Geoffrey Kondogbia is here to remind us of the unexpected that takes place in soccer. Kondogbia ripped this stunning goal late in the first half. The ball deflected off Per Mertesacker but that didn’t take […]
