As the boos rang down from the half empty stands of Old Trafford following Manchester United’s 2-1 defeat to Norwich City on Saturday, one thing was clear. Manager Louis van Gaal had lost the support of the fans. You’ll notice the word “shock” was not used to describe the loss. In previous years, a 2-1 […]

It’s no secret that Manchester United has been struggling, really struggling. And a big reason for that is the managerial performance of Louis van Gaal. His rather lifeless, lackluster style of play has resulted in being winless in a little over a month. Many want van Gaal sacked but Manchester United shouldn’t sack him…at least […]

The closest way to describe this is Yaya Toure’s shot was so smooth and pure that nobody really reacted when the shot went into the goal. It was almost like nobody believed what they saw and were just in shock. Yaya wasn’t celebrating and was just worried about getting the ball and trying to get […]

Chelsea has had a whirlwind of a week. After losing to first place Leicester City last Monday, Chelsea was held to being just a point above the relegation zone.

What started off as a very competitive match between Real Madrid and Rayo Vallecano could not have ended on a worse note for Rayo as Real Madrid went to town on them, thanks in part to Gareth Bale. Real went up ahead in the first three minutes with a goal by Danilo and it looked […]

Liverpool had to slot Adam Bogdan in as goalkeeper for the Waford match on Sunday. He was tested early on, and let’s just say it was an epic fail. As he went to catch a Watford corner kick, Bogdan ended up spilling it in front of himself and right to the foot of Nathan Ake. […]

Harry Kane might not be having the same amazing season as last, but this goal is pure quality. He dribbles past almost the entire Southampton defense, before slotting the ball into the net, cool as you like.

When Jose Mourinho arrives at a club he likes the build the team in his own image. That means bringing in new players and shedding the players Mourinho puts in his doghouse, whether they deserve it or not. In his time at Chelsea, Jose Mourniho cut a lot of players loose. It didn’t matter whether the […]
