The Manchester Derby: Who needs it more?

0 comments by

Manchester is a city in crisis. Manchester United have crashed out of the Champions League and now failed to get past historic rivals Liverpool in the Europa Leauge. Manchester City, who at one point looked like title favorites have faltered, badly, in the league. They run the risk of missing out on next year’s Champions League […]

Is 2015/16’s Aston Villa the worst Premier League team ever?

0 comments by on 3/17/2016

This season has not been a great one for fans of Aston Villa. With 30 games played, they have only won a total of three and sit with a total of 16 points. Some pretty abysmal stuff. Even when they have managed to simply not lose, the Aston Villa players have looked resigned to their fate. With […]

Why players coming back from injury is a bad thing for Manchester United

0 comments by on 3/16/2016

Manchester United’s up and down season finally looked like it was going to get back on track. They had scored three goals each in back to back games against Derby County and Stoke City before drawing at Stamford Bridge. But of course just like it has all year, whenever things seemed like they started to […]

WATCH: Shinji Okazaki’s bicycle kick puts Leicester into the lead

0 comments by on 3/14/2016

In a must-win game (well they’re all must-wins at this point), Leicester City grabbed the lead over 19th place Newcastle United via a couple fortunate deflections and headers culminating with a Shinji Okazaki bicycle kick. A big game because of title implications as well as Rafa Benitez making his managerial debut with Newcastle, the goal […]

Can Rafa Benitez save Newcastle?

0 comments by

Rafa Benitez has taken one of the hardest jobs in the Premier League. Newcastle United has never been an easy job, but, with the expectation of escaping relegation, it has become near impossible. But that is exactly what Benitez will be expected to do just that. Benitez has coached some of the biggest teams in […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

WATCH: McCarthy slip allows Roberto Firmino to score equalizer for 10 man Liverpool

0 comments by on 3/6/2016

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 […]
