New and unlikely faces in the FA Cup semis can spark new life in the tournament

As we fill out our NCAA brackets this week, we must thank our lucky stars we don’t fill out a bracket for the FA Cup because I don’t think anybody could have predicted this semifinal. Crystal Palace, Everton and Watford all punched their tickets to Wembley Stadium for the semifinal. Manchester United and West Ham […]

Has Diego Costa surpassed Luis Suarez as Soccer’s biggest villain?

0 comments by

It seems like a lot longer ago, but back in only 2014 Luis Suarez took a bite out of Italian Defender Giorgio Chiellini’s shoulder. It was his third such indecent in his career, and the bite earned Suarez a lengthy ban that stretched well into the start of the club season. Suarez’s propensity for an in-match […]

The real reason behind this crazy Premier League season

0 comments by on 3/11/2016

This season has seen an unprecedented amount of success for traditionally smaller teams, compared to the larger ones. The obvious is Leicester City, who are currently five points ahead at the top of the table. There are others that need credit, though. Teams like West Ham United, Stoke, and, to an extent, Watford have all […]

“In an era of Champions League superstars, do fans still care? Do the fans still dream of drawing a big club, of slaying a giant? Do the players dream of the Wembley arch, like I once dreamed of the Twin Towers? Do the chairmen still pray for a lucrative draw at Anfield or Old Trafford? […]

Steve McLaren sacked at Newcastle, Rafa Benitez taking over: Why?

0 comments by

The inevitable has happened, Newcastle United has finally sacked Steve McLaren after a rather disappointing 7-6-18 record and a current 19th place showing in the English Premier League table. The big news isn’t about McLaren being sacked, we’ve expected that for a while and probably should have happened earlier. It’s more about who is likely coming […]

Which contender has the clearest path to the EPL title?

We’re down to just two handfuls of games in what can only be described as the wildest ride in the history of the English Premier League. Three teams have begun to separate themselves at the top — leaders Leicester City and North London rivals Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur (sorry Manchester City you’re not chasing down […]

It’s no secret Arsenal have been struggling for form recently. Part of that issue is that they haven’t been able to get consistent goalscoring from any of their stars recently. Danny Welbeck’s return from injury has provided a small spark, but it’s also caused a shift in Arsenal’s team, which has resulted in Theo Walcott […]

It’s been a tough stretch recently for Arsenal. They’ve taken just 10 of their last 27 points in the league, and have likely fallen out of the title race. Over in the Champions League their situation isn’t looking good either, as they lost 2-0 at home to Barcelona and their only chance of advancing would […]

Crystal Palace had the 1-0 lead and had the man advantage after James Milner got his second yellow. Then things turned upside down and their goal advantage was evaporated in the cruelest of ways. Crystal Palace goalkeeper Alex McCarthy slipped on the wet grass as he was trying to clear the ball. The ball fell […]

WATCH: Bertrand Traore’s laser has Chelsea up on Stoke

0 comments by on 3/5/2016

Guus Hiddink has been getting Chelsea more organized and getting results. He has been giving Chelsea youth players chances to play and one of them has been 20 year old Bertrand Traore. Traore rewared the temporary manager by filling in for the injured Diego Costa and scored a great goal. Brilliant strike from Bertrand Traore!

WATCH: Harry Kane’s golazo put Spurs ahead, Sanchez equalizes for Arsenal while down a man

What a difference a few minutes makes. After a rather stupid Francis Coquelin red card, Tottenham went into overdrive just minutes after that foul on Harry Kane. First, Toby Alderweireld was able to get open and score off of the corner to equalize. Next, just two minutes after the equalizer, Harry Kane blasted an unbelievable […]

WATCH: Aaron Ramsey’s backheel flick puts Arsenal up 1-0 over Tottenham

0 comments by

In a must win game for both teams’ Premier League title aspirations, Aaron Ramsey put Arsenal up 1-0 thanks to a crafty pass from Hector Bellerin and a fancy backheel flick from Ramsey. This was huge for Arsenal because it seemed like Tottenham was in control of the game. An Arsenal loss will put them […]

Spurs, Arsenal face elevated stakes in North London Derby

Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal never need any additional motivation to perform well in the North London Derby, but the tension for Saturday’s edition at White Hart Lane is as high as it has been in years. With the two sides sitting second and third in the table behind Leicester City, getting points from this match […]
