0 comments by Phillip Bupp on 5/10/2016

In their final game at the Boleyn Ground, West Ham United took the lead early against Manchester United in a very important game with top four implications. Manuel Lanzini brought the play deep into Man United’s attacking area and then crossed back to Diafra Sakho near the top of the box. Sakho then was fortunate […]

Who is to blame for Manchester City’s form?

0 comments by Jeff Snyder

It is pretty clear that for a team we all expected to be challenging for the title this season, Manchester City’s campaign has been incredibly underwhelming. With only a game left in the season, they sit fifteen points off of the top of the table and only two points ahead of 5th (having played a game […]

As the European domestic season starts drawing to a close and the summer months are approaching, it’s only natural that along with the weather, the transfer rumors are heating up as well. With ‘big’ clubs like Chelsea, Manchester City, and Manchester United not only all underachieving this season, but also undergoing managerial changes, or rumors […]

At 132 years in the making, Leicester City knew this week that they were going to lift the English Premier League trophy after their final home game against Everton.

WATCH: Jermain Defoe scores beautiful game winner against Chelsea, may save Sunderland from relegation

0 comments by Phillip Bupp

In the race to avoid relegation, it appeared Newcastle had the upper hand. They were leading the race and had to play already relegated and hopelessly embarrassing Aston Villa. A 0-0 draw by Newcastle opened the door for either Sunderland or Norwich to take advantage. And Sunderland’s Jermain Defoe busted down that door against Chelsea. […]

The argument for Arsenal to keep Arsene Wenger

0 comments by Phillip Bupp on 5/6/2016

There is a sense of division among Arsenal fans regarding the direction of the team. Some are comfortable with that direction, others are not and one big name feeling that wrath is longtime Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger. That was shown this past weekend against Norwich where there were protests against Wenger, protests supporting Wenger and […]

The argument for Arsenal to sack Arsene Wenger

0 comments by Jeff Snyder

Arsene Wenger is the longest serving manager in the Premier League. His tenure at Arsenal has seen a sustained level of success and quality of play that is only rivaled by Bob Paisley or Alex Ferguson. So why are Arsenal fans ready to end the Frenchman’s twenty-year stay at the London club? More importantly, why […]

There’s a case to be made for the Premier League being the world’s most competitive league from top to bottom. One tier below, the Championship might be one of the toughest leagues to escape. Twenty-four teams, many with Premier League budgets, playing a 46-match schedule — eight more than the EPL teams have to navigate […]

Because of the unlikelihood of Leicester City’s English Premier League title win, many people made a lot of promises if Leicester City held on to win the EPL title. One now famous promise was from England legend Gary Lineker, who is from Leicester. Earlier this season, when Leicester were shockingly top of the table, Lineker promised […]

Oh to be Claudio Ranieri right now. The Leicester City manager waited for 43 years, 13 years as a player and 30 years as a manager, and 18 total teams for this week. After being in soccer since 1973, Claudio Ranieri finally won his first ever top league title and did it under the most […]

Spurs can’t hold two-goal lead at Chelsea; Leicester City claims Premier League title

0 comments by Randy Capps on 5/2/2016

Tottenham Hotspur had to do something Monday it hadn’t done in 26 years — win at Stamford Bridge — to prevent Leicester City from locking up this season’s Premier League title. Harry Kane and Son Heung-Min staked Spurs to a 2-0 lead in the first half, but second-half strikes from Cheslea’s Gary Cahill and Eden […]

0 comments by Phillip Bupp

Something that was unthinkable in August, a pipe dream in October, slightly believable in January, somewhat believable in March and now a reality in May. Leicester City, at 5,000-to-1 odds to win the English Premier League at the start of this season, are English Premier League champions. Their first top division title in 132 years of […]

Before Liverpool’s semifinal game against Villarreal last week, I thought I knew what Liverpool was looking to do for the rest of this season. The Europa League is Liverpool’s best chance at making the Champions League so they would focus on Villarreal and forego EPL top four aspirations in favor of a chance at a […]

In February 2012, just a few months after taking the job, USMNT manager Jurgen Klinsmann spoke before over 400 US youth coaches at a US Youth Soccer Association convention in Boston. As part of his speech Klinsmann asked the crowd, “so the US goes to South Africa and plays England in the World Cup, what […]
