0 comments by Harrison Prolic on 2/11/2016

When talking about the best strikers in England, you can’t go wrong mentioning Sergio Aguero, Harry Kane, Diego Costa or even this year’s breakout star Jamie Vardy. But with the exception of Vardy, none of these strikers are having the same kind of production that Everton’s Romelu Lukaku has had this season. Sitting only two […]

0 comments by Phillip Bupp

The English Premier League is in the middle of a crisis. Last weekend, upwards of 10,000 Liverpool fans walked out on their team in the 77th minute of their game against Sunderland, in protest of £77 ($111) tickets in the new stand as well as increasing ticket prices over the years. It’s not as if […]

Is Mauricio Pochettino the best manager in England?

0 comments by Pauly Kwestel

For the big name clubs in England this season, the 2015/16 Premier League campaign has been defined by turmoil at the managerial position. Louis van Gaal has seemingly been on the hot seat all season but has somehow escaped firing despite United winning just five of their last 16 matches – with two of those […]

WATCH: Coutinho comes back from injury by scoring an under the wall free kick

0 comments by Phillip Bupp on 2/9/2016

Liverpool has missed this kind of creativity. Philippe Coutinho is back from injury and it appeared he’s back with a vengeance.

Could Leicester City winning the league be a bad thing?

0 comments by Jeff Snyder

Looking at the title — yes, I know, it’s crazy to ask the question. But it has seemed to me that it is genuinely a question that people seem to be avoiding. Without a doubt, Leicester winning the Premier League would be one of the greatest stories of an underdog overachieving in the history of […]

The 2015-16 English Premier League season may be the single best drama on television. With big-named clubs struggling, the underdog at the top and plenty of personalities it has become one memorable season. No team exemplifies that better than league-leading Leicester City, but you wouldn’t know it if you listen to the pundits and commentators […]

Leicester City score twice to go up 3-0 on Manchester City

0 comments by Phillip Bupp

If Leicester City actually pulls off the impossible and wins the Premier League, they will look at this game as the game that turned them into champions. After scoring within the first three minutes against Manchester City in the first half, Leicester did the same in the second half. Some great Riyad Mahrez moves put […]
