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

0 comments by on 12/29/2015

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 […]

Xherdan Shaqiri, the goal scorer? Coming in to Monday’s match the Stoke midfielder was more about assisting (3) than scoring (0). That all changed, as the Swiss midfielder gave the Potters a 1-0 lead in the 16th minute. However, he wasn’t done with the scoring and his brace came in spectacular fashion. Shaqiri got on […]

0 comments by

Odion Ighalo has re-adjusted to life in the EPL rather nicely, and he’s become a key reason Watford are battling for European positions as we embark on the crazy transition to the 2nd half of the season. He proved the 13 goals already scored were not flukes by besting one of the better back lines […]

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

0 comments by on 12/27/2015

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.

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

0 comments by

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, […]

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 […]

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 […]

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.

WATCH: Watford’s Ighalo turns Courtois around after wunderstrike

0 comments by

Watford forward Odion Ighalo is having a breakout season, and his side is clearly benefiting from it sitting just a few points outside of European competition. He continued that breakout season by making one of the EPL’s best goalkeepers look completely silly. With the score tied 1-1, Ighalo took a wünderstrike just inside the box and […]

Tottenham Hotspur have a long history of dropping points at home against sides they’ve had no business losing to. It’s often cited as reason for failure to consistently punch their way in to the Champions League places. Boxing Day 2015 is telling a very different story, and it has a lot to do with home-grown […]
