VIDEO: What in the hell is Jose Mourinho talking about after losing to Man City?

After Manchester City’s 3-0 thrashing of defending champions Chelsea, many people were wondering what was wrong with Chelsea. After sputtering to a 2-2 draw last week and having your starting goalkeeper sent off to losing 3-0 today, it would be normal to feel that something is wrong with Chelsea. It certainly isn’t the case if […]

VIDEO: Olivier Giroud’s terrific faux bicycle kick gives Arsenal lead

Going off of the first 15 minutes, it would appear to be that Arsenal was going to score first. They had a few chances and Crystal Palace was just getting by with the skin of their teeth. For all their power, Crystal Palace couldn’t keep this goal out of the back of the net. Olivier […]

VIDEO: West Ham GK Adrian tries to score goal, karate kicks himself into red card

Goalkeepers don’t usually come out of their goal unless it’s absolutely necessary and West Ham needed a goal to equalize against Leicester City. Adrian ran up for the free kick, inside stoppage time to try and be a hero for the Hammers. Instead… he did this. I have to admit, I didn’t see the play […]

VIDEO: Ross Barkley’s sublime strike seals 3-0 win for Everton over Southampton

Everton surprisingly came into the South of England to completely dismantle Southampton 3-0. While Southampton had the possession, they didn’t really do anything with that possessing and rarely posed a threat to Tim Howard and the Everton goal. On the other hand, Everton were scoring goals left and right and their day was capped off […]

Oh You Beauty!: Goals of the Week 8/11/2015

5. Andre-Pierre Gignac vs Gaudalajara I’m not going to lie. There was some bad defending in the lead up to this goal. Gignac is ale to nutmeg the defender with ease. All that’s left is a simple tap-in for a goal. Quality dribbling and a cool finish that is slightly lessened by the poor defending. […]

Why did the top teams struggle in this first EPL weekend?

If you watched any of the Premier League action this opening weekend, it became clear that the big teams who were expected to win and play well really hadn’t. It could just be one game, it could be a warning to those teams to sign another player or two by the close of the transfer […]

VIDEO: Coutinho scores late stunner to give Liverpool 1-0 lead

For 83 minutes Coutinho and the lads from Liverpool went to Stoke and couldn’t find a real sniff of the goal. It took just one moment of brilliance for that to all change though, as Coutinho took a small chance and turned it in to a game winner. What a game winner too…as Coutinho likely […]

Petr Cech’s flop shows Arsenal may have chosen wrong goalkeeper

We’ve all heard a coach say, “we’re just one player away.” It’s a reference to making just one change at one spot to help a team reach the next level.
