Champions League Semi-Final recap: Juve up 2-1, but advantage to Real Madrid?

The scoreline may have read 2-1 advantage Juventus following Tuesday’s Champions League semi-final first leg. However, it was hard not to feel like the real advantage was the Real Madrid.

VIDEO: Arsenal is destroying Hull

This wasn’t supposed to be that much of a competitive game. Arsenal is 3rd in the table while Hull is 16th so theoretically Arsenal should win.

Chelsea may be boring, but they’re worthy champions

Chelsea clinched the EPL title yesterday with three games left when they beat Crystal Palace 1-0. I have to admit, I don’t like how Chelsea plays the game. The “park the bus” counterattacking is not something I’m excited about when I wake up in the morning to watch them play. Chelsea plays a rather defensive […]

VIDEO: Eden Hazard’s first half goal may clinch EPL title for Chelsea

Chelsea can clinch the EPL title with a win against Crystal Palace. This Eden Hazard goal may clinch that. Hazard won the penalty near the end of the first half. Yeah, there’s no contact on the play but James McArthur shouldn’t have his leg out that far and Hazard is trying to not get hurt. […]

John Carver throws just about every Newcastle player under the bus

John Carver loves Newcastle United, there’s no doubt about that. Carver is from Newcastle, played in Newcastle’s academy and has been an assistant coach since 2011. Now that he has become head coach, Newcastle has a 2-12-3 record since Carver took over. Bad went to worse for Newcastle after today’s game against Leicester City. Leicester […]
