Tears for Piers: The Bournemouth 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 […]

Liverpool struggling with poorer sides will keep them from winning Premier League title

With a win over Tottenham on Wednesday, Chelsea FC can go eight points clear of Liverpool at the top of the Premier League table. It begs the question, can anyone catch Antonio Conte’s men at this point? Historically, the team at the top come Christmas has had good fortune, with six of the last seven […]

Harry Kane, Dele Alli power Tottenham past Watford, 4-1

Tottenham Hotspur got its new year off to a bright start with a 4-1 win over Watford Sunday at Vicarage Road.

Watch: Manchester United scores twice in closing minutes to grab victory

With Sir Alex Ferguson celebrating his 75th birthday, Manchester United produced a performance reminiscent of some of Ferguson’s team. Trailing 1-0 to Middlesbrough in the 85th minute, the Red Devils scored a pair of goals within minutes of each other to put them one point out of the top four. United was pressuring Middlesbrough all […]

Watch: Robert Snodgrass gives Hull City the lead with brilliant free-kick

If Hull City are going to have any hope of climbing out of the bottom three, they will need to start picking up points in a hurry. Against Everton today they got off to a great start by opening the scoring six minutes in. However, thanks to a howler from keeper David Marshall, they went […]

Who has the edge between Liverpool and Manchester City this weekend

While Chelsea has won 12 straight matches to create some separation atop the Premier League standings, its two closest rivals meet at Anfield Saturday when Liverpool hosts Manchester City (12:30 ET, NBC). It’s a pivotal time of the year. The Premier League schedule is almost at the halfway point, and the transfer window opens again […]

Chinese Super League spends big on players, now may do same for referees

China and the Chinese Super League have made no secret that they want to be a world soccer superpower as soon as possible. They have tried to do that by spending outrageous amounts of money on semi-notable Premier League and Brazilian players, as well as making Argentinian Carlos Tevez the highest paid soccer player in […]

Bob Bradley’s firing by Swansea City was warranted, but the experience was essential

The Bob Bradley era at Swansea City is over. The American manager lasted 11 games and a little over two months as he was unable to improve Swansea just days before the January transfer window. The amount of blame on how Swansea has performed can go around to just about everyone involved. But regardless of Bob […]

Swansea City’s issues lie much deeper than their manager

On Tuesday, Swansea City fired manager Bob Bradley after the American picked up just eight points in his first 11 matches in charge of the club. It also may have been because in a press conference a few weeks ago Bradley said the term “PK” which is how Americans say what the English call a […]

Henrikh Mkhitaryan finally starting to find his footing at Manchester United

At £26 million, Henrikh Mkhitaryan would have been a record transfer for eight separate Premier League clubs. At Manchester United, £26 million doesn’t even crack the top ten. Mkhitaryan wasn’t even United’s most expensive signing this summer, so the 27-year-old came to Old Trafford under the radar. Even Jose Mourinho seemed to forget that he had signed […]

Pedro floats in beautiful goal to give Chelsea lead

Chelsea is trying for their 12th straight win today, which would be a feat that only the “Invincibles” of Arsenal have ever seen. Playing Bournemouth, Chelsea is already well on their way to get that 12th in a row to potentially extend their Premier League lead. After this goal, we'd vote for Pedro.
