WATCH: Christian Benteke breaks scoring deadlock between Liverpool and Sunderland

At just 22 seconds into the second half of Sunderland vs. Liverpool, Christian Benteke powered his way into the box and score his second goal in as many games, putting Liverpool up 1-0. While it was a quick, accurate finish, it wasn’t the most difficult shot of the game. What makes this goal special is […]

Would Jose Mourinho make any difference to Manchester United?

As this one gets typed, Manchester United manager Louis Van Gaal is still in the managers chair — a feat many expected to not be the case following two lackluster results over the crazy holiday week that was. Those results should’ve had Van Gaal out of a job already according to many, and even some […]

BBC Radio announcers arguing about booth space during Leicester vs Manchester City

Former Leicester City and current BBC Radio announcer Steve Claridge had a bit of a tongue-in-cheek argument with partner Ian Dennis as Claridge complained that Dennis was taking up too much space in the broadcasting booth during the Leicester City/Manchester City game. This seemed like the argument was more on the banter side and not […]

It’s time for even cynical people to start believing in Leicester City

Ever since the beginning of the season, I have tried to find a way to not believe Leicester City could last. They don’t have the players, they don’t have the depth, they’ll collapse in December when they face all of these games one right after the other. I didn’t want to believe Leicester City could […]

Stoke City nips Everton in seven-goal thriller

The days of Stoke City bunkering in and hoping for the odd set piece scoring chance are long gone. The Potters scored overturned a 3-2 deficit to win, 4-3, on a penalty kick from Marko Arnautovic at Goodison Park Monday. The controversial penalty decision against John Stones helped Stoke City jump up to eighth in […]

Spurs show title contender status with gritty win over Watford

To say the 2015-16 English Premier League season has been a wild one would be a gross understatement. Months of waiting for tiny Leicester City to fall off has lead only to the Foxes still sitting atop of the EPL table, Watford have gone from relegation favorites to fighting for a European spot and Chelsea […]

Does Liverpool’s 1-0 win over Leicester City say more about Liverpool or Leicester City?

Someone finally figured out how to keep Leicester City from scoring. Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool held the EPL league leaders to no goals for the first time this season in a 1-0 game. After Divock Origi had an apparent hamstring injury, Christian Benteke was subbed on and scored the game winning goal in the 63rd […]

Could Jürgen Klopp’s high tempo style be leading to a high number of injuries?

On Saturday, Liverpool were the first team to hold league leaders, Leicester City, scoreless for a full 90 minutes. The Reds won 1:0, with Christian Benteke scoring the lone goal for the home side. Benteke came on as a substitute, however, and not the kind of tactical sub managers love to take credit for. No, […]

Who should Manchester United fans want as their manager?

After another completely lifeless performance in a 2-0 loss to Stoke, their fourth loss in a row, Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal’s seat has never been hotter. With several high profile managers either available or becoming available, several writers and fans have begun calling for the Dutchman to lose his job. United fans have […]

Tears for Piers: The Boxing Day 2015 edition

Piers Morgan is a very polarizing figure. He’s a very opinionated person and really doesn’t care what anyone thinks of him. To be honest, I can kind of respect him for that. But a lot of times, Piers Morgan can be irritating, especially irritating when he’s talking about his beloved Arsenal Football Club. It’s not […]

WATCH: Cuco Martina curls an unbelievable goal against Arsenal

Stop what you are doing and watch this incredible goal by Southampton’s Cuco Martina against Arsenal. Martina put Southampton up 1-0 and although it looked like it would be a late entrant in the Best Goal of 2015 race, he sure didn’t expect to be scoring that. Forget Beckham, it's time to bend it like […]

Watch: Christian Benteke puts Liverpool in the lead and channels his inner LeBron

Jürgen Klopp opted to start Divock Origi in place of Belgian striker Christian Benteke today. Origi didn’t last long, however, and he was subbed out late in the first half after picking up a hamstring injury. Benteke came on with the game still scoreless and didn’t have much of an impact until shortly after the […]

Van Gaal’s days numbered at Manchester United, but is it really his fault?

As the final whistle blew and the scoreboard read 2-0 Stoke City, the visiting Manchester United walked away embarrassed and throughly defeated by a side with little of the history, big name players or lofty wage bill of themselves. It wasn’t the first time in the 2015-16 campaign under Louis Van Gaal, but it may […]
