Barcelona kicked El Clasico off with a rocking start with a stunning cross from Luis Suarez to Neymar. Neymar does what Neymar does and drills it home from top of the box to make it 1-0. Real Madrid equalized with a Ronaldo PK. Guaranteed that the scoring isn’t over.

We started the weekend with West Ham getting a decisive 2-1 win over the defending champs, Manchester City. West Ham now sees itself in 4th in the table. A jubilant Russell Brand finds Sam Allardyce and shows his appreciation for the manager. I don’t know if they can stay near the top of the table […]

Look, I’ll admit it, I’m horrible at making predictions. I’m usually wrong, like everyone else, so I decided that I’m passing the buck and letting FIFA 15 decide. We put both teams on the field, let it go to computer vs. computer and we see what happens. Let’s see if FIFA is as accurate as […]

Wow, this was tough to limit this to 10 players. I originally had 15 and it was tough to take 5 of those players off because they all deserved to be on the list. Just like with the Real Madrid article, you will not see any current Barcelona players on the list. So that means […]

Last year this time Tottenham Hotspur fans and management were wondering where one Erik Lamela was. After arriving in the summer as part of Daniel Levy’s spending spree, Lamela spent most of last season off the pitch and nursing a terrible set of injuries. This season, Spurs faithful have seen flashes of why he was […]

This list was originally going to be a combination of the best El Clasico players ever. That’s right, we were going to attempt to pick 10 players who have played for either Real Madrid or Barcelona and place them sequentially and claim one of them was the best. Looking back, that would have been impossible […]

While there weren’t as many goals as yesterday, we had some excitement in the closing moments of a few of the games. Matchday three is finished for everyone and we are at the halfway point of the group stage. Everyone has played each other once and has a feel of what they need to do […]

There’s no denying that if you love goals this years UEFA Champions League is the place to be, as Tuesday showcased a crazy 40 goals across the eight matches played. Unfortunately, most of those goals were scored as three teams reminded their groups who’s boss. Speaking of that, with the scores going final on Tuesday […]

WWOOOO what a goal by Sessegnon! It even made Martin Tyler speechless for a second or two. Stunning stuff to give West Brom the lead against Man United early on.

Having introduced himself to his new club, Barcelona, in friendly matches, this will be Suarez’s first real competitive match with his new teammates. In what promises […]
