Sergio Aguero deserves suspension for his elbow but he’s no Diego Costa

On Sunday, Manchester City’s Sergio Aguero elbowed West Ham’s Winston Reid during City’s 3-1 victory. While Aguero didn’t seem to make full contact on Reid, it surely seemed like there was some sort of intent and caught Reid’s throat with enough of the elbow as he had to be subbed out. Almost immediately, social media […]

What’s missing for each Premier League team? (Man United to West Ham)

With a little less than a week until the summer transfer window shuts, every Premier League team could use at least one more piece to make their team better. We at 32 Flags figure out what each team needs if they want to make themselves a better team this season, starting with Manchester United to […]

WATCH: Marcus Rashford grabs last minute winner for Manchester United

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 […]

WATCH: Jamie Vardy gets back to last season form with great looking goal

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. As you can see, this was a textbook Leicester City goal. Counter, long ball up to Vardy, Vardy’s speed beats every defender and […]

What’s missing for each Premier League team? (Arsenal to Man City)

With a little less than a week until the summer transfer window shuts, every Premier League team could use at least one more piece to make their team better. We at 32 Flags figure out what each team needs if they want to make themselves a better team this season, starting with Arsenal to Manchester […]

Is this the year Arsenal fall out of the top four?

Another Premier League season is upon us, and with it comes another chance for Arsenal to win the Top 4 trophy. Things have started pretty bumpy for Arsene Wenger and his team. Currently, they have a singular point in the Premier League after a tough start against Top four rivals Liverpool and Leicester. In that time, […]

MANCHESTER, ENGLAND – AUGUST 19: Jose Mourinho, Manager of Manchester United gives the thumbs up after the Premier League match between Manchester United and Southampton at Old Trafford on August 19, 2016 in Manchester, England. (Photo by Michael Steele/Getty Images)

When should Manchester United fire Jose Mourinho

Caution: The content/takes in this post are extremely hot. Proceed at your own discretion.  Let’s call a spade a spade here. The Manchester United-Jose Mourinho relationship is going to end when United eventually fire him. Maybe they’ll say it was by “mutual consent” but if history is any guide, their working partnership will end sometime […]

What’s next for Joe Hart?

It hasn’t been a great summer for Joe Hart. His mistake against Iceland was part of the reason England crashed out of the European championships, and now it seems he’s fallen out of favor with his new manager, Pep Guardiola. He hasn’t played for Manchester City this season, instead sitting on the bench behind Willy […]

BURNLEY, ENGLAND – AUGUST 20: Sam Vokes of Burnley celebrates scoring his sides first goal with his Burnley team mates during the Premier League match between Burnley and Liverpool at Turf Moor on August 20, 2016 in Burnley, England. (Photo by Jan Kruger/Getty Images)

Premier League recap: Burnley shocks Liverpool, as Arsenal and Leicester remain goalless

After last week’s win at Arsenal, Liverpool went back on the road in search of three more Premier League points Saturday against newly promoted Burnley. What the Reds found instead was frustration. Despite having 80 percent of the possession and firing 26 shots, Liverpool fell to a pair of well-taken goals from Sam Vokes and […]

MANCHESTER, ENGLAND – AUGUST 19: Zlatan Ibrahimovic of Manchester United celebrates scoring the opening goal during the Premier League match between Manchester United and Southampton at Old Trafford on August 19, 2016 in Manchester, England. (Photo by Michael Regan/Getty Images)

Manchester United downs Southampton, 2-0

It’s hard to imagine a more successful start to the unlikely union of Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Jose Mourinho at Manchester United. Ibrahimovic, the mercurial Swedish striker, scored a pair of first-half goals to power Mourinho’s Red Devils to their third win in as many tries on the young season — a 2-0 victory over Southampton […]

LIVERPOOL, ENGLAND – NOVEMBER 26: Alberto Moreno of Liverpool FC during the UEFA Europa League match between Liverpool FC and FC Girondins de Bordeaux at Anfield on November 26, 2015 in Liverpool, United Kingdom. (Photo by Alex Livesey/Getty Images)

Is it time for Liverpool to give up on Moreno?

Life as a soccer player is never tough, especially when you have a bad game. And, boy, did Alberto Moreno have a bad game against Arsenal. At fault for giving away a horribly unnecessary penalty, at fault for the first goal, and lacking his usual attacking outlet, Moreno showed just why many Liverpool want him […]

Arsenal fan puts Riyad Mahrez Arsenal kit up for sale after Mahrez re-signs with Leicester

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 […]

What happened to Leicester against Hull?

So Leicester have become only the second team in over 30 years to begin their defense of the First Division (in this case the Premier League) title with a loss. Not the best start to sequal of the fairytale season they had last year. It is especially concerning when you consider that the team that beat […]

BOURNEMOUTH, ENGLAND – AUGUST 14: Wayne Rooney of Manchester United celebrates scoring his team’s second goal during the Premier League match between AFC Bournemouth and Manchester United at Vitality Stadium on August 14, 2016 in Bournemouth, England. (Photo by Michael Steele/Getty Images)

After one game, Manchester United are your clear title favorites

If you have a friend who is a Manchester United fan, then by now they’ve certainly made sure you’re aware that the Red Devils defeated Bournemouth on the opening weekend of the Premier League season. It only took one game for Jose Mourinho to get Manchester United fans back on their high horses. It may […]
