With this season drawing to a fairly anti-climactic end, we can now look back over the season to analyze what could have been done better and look ahead to next season.

VIDEO: Humans fooled, Swansea wins due to goal line technology

0 comments by on 5/11/2015

God bless goal line technology!!! Swansea won over Arsenal due to a Bafetimbi Gomis goal that fooled almost all the humans, especially referee Kevin Friend, at Emirates Stadium but not the goal line technology system. Seriously, if it wasn’t for goal line technology, Arsenal and Swansea would’ve battled to a 0-0 draw and Swansea would’ve […]

This past Saturday, May 2, Adam Johnson entered a Premier League game for Sunderland as a late-game substitute. He played the final ten minutes, plus stoppage time, and contributed to Sunderland’s surprising 2-1 victory over Southampton.

VIDEO: Arsenal is destroying Hull

0 comments by on 5/4/2015

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. Hull needs to win in order to give themselves some breathing room in the relegation battle but it doesn’t look like Hull is getting any points today. Arsenal is […]

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

0 comments by on 5/3/2015

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. […]

QPR v Chelsea Sunday, April 12th, 2015 Result: Chelsea Win, 1-0 This game, which Chelsea in no way deserved to win, is the perfect example of why Chelsea will win the EPL this season. There was almost an inevitability to both that game and this season. No matter how they are playing, Chelsea would pull […]

VIDEO: The craziest two minutes in the EPL relegation race so far

0 comments by on 4/25/2015

Burnley and Leicester City faced off in a game likely to be the climax of the relegation race. Whoever won this game wouldn’t be guaranteed a safe spot in the EPL but they would have a stronger foundation to stay. The loser wouldn’t be guaranteed relegation either but they would be all but going down. […]

Are European hopes slipping away for some EPL teams?

0 comments by on 4/7/2015

European soccer is the holy grail of English soccer these days, what with the multi-millions of dollars on the line and the increased exposure of international television as well. However, the competition for the six spots is perhaps the fiercest of competitions in all of UEFA these days.  For a side like Chelsea or even […]

With only eight games left in the EPL season (well Leicester City has nine but that extra game is against chelsea so may as well say eight), it’s coming down to the wire in terms of who will get relegated to the Championship next season. The bottom three EPL teams relegate and if history is […]

5. Thomas Muller vs Werder Bremen You can’t give Muller a second chance to get a goal. He’ll get it every time. The first attempt was set up by a wonderful volleyed through ball, but well stopped by the keeper. It almost looks like the attack is over when the ball is cleared to a […]
