Van Gaal’s days numbered at Manchester United, but is it really his fault?

As the final whistle blew and the scoreboard read 2-0 Stoke City, the visiting Manchester United walked away embarrassed and throughly defeated by a side with little of the history, big name players or lofty wage bill of themselves. It wasn’t the first time in the 2015-16 campaign under Louis Van Gaal, but it may […]

WATCH: Marko Arnautovic curls a rocket to put Stoke up 2-0 on Manchester United

If this was a must win for Louis van Gaal to keep his job as Manchester United manager, he sure started out in one of the worst ways imaginable. First, Stoke went up 1-0 after Memphis fell down and they went up 2-0 in the 26th minute, after Marko Arnautovic curled this incredible strike to […]

Leicester City won’t be sellers in January transfer window

Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez — the Leicester City duo sit atop the English Premier League score charts and sit atop most big clubs wish lists heading in to the January transfer window. Easy call — sell high if you’re the Foxes. At least that seems to be the logic, and in most years a […]

The Sun has a hilarious response to Van Gaal’s call for apology from UK media

Louis Van Gaal’s first year-and-half run in the bosses chair at Manchester United hasn’t exactly gone as planned. His team has gone from EPL favorites in some circles to out of the Champions League, and the Dutch boss is none too happy with the treatment he has received from the notoriously brutal English media. In […]

For the love of God MLS, do not sign Ashley Cole

Has Jurgen Klopp been figured out already?

“Has Jurgen Klopp been figured out already?” I was shocked when I heard those words muttered during the broadcast of the Liverpool-Watford Premier League match this past weekend. I’m sorry, but to say that when the man has less than half a season under his belt is just ludicrous. While Liverpool are not playing well right […]

It’s said that coaches are hired to be fired. Pep Guardiola doesn’t agree. After three years with Bayern Munich, Guardiola has decided he’s had enough of life in Bavaria, and will step aside at the end of this season. His decision will surely start a bidding war among Europe’s elite for the Spaniard’s signature. Where […]
