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 […]

Bournemouth is enjoying an incredible high. They went to Stamford Bridge last week in the Saturday broadcast game and beat Chelsea. Now, they are at home to face Manchester United on NBC once again and they busted the doors wide open by scoring an Olimpico. It’s very rare to accomplish (unless you’re Michael Bradley) but […]

For as much as the table sort of looks just like we thought it would (Leicester and Chelsea aside of course) this still has been one of the craziest Premier League seasons ever. We used to at least have a sense of what was going to happen. Some teams were just unbelievable at home and […]

Manchester United had a whirlwind last few minutes in its deciding Champions League fixture against Wolfsburg, that ultimately saw the Red Devils lose their game and will now finish off their European campaign in the Europa League. Needing a win and/or a PSV Eindhoven loss, Manchester United really needed to step up their attack and […]

We all know the story of Leicester City’s Jamie Vardy by now. Playing at 8th level amateur side Stocksbridge Park Steels and then to FC Halifax Town in the same league. Then Vardy got onto a Football League team with Fleetwood Town and ultimately to Leicester City, then in the Championship. Now, Vardy and Leicester […]

At just over 1/3 into the English Premier League season, we are in the presence of a 1 vs. 2 matchup that would not have been expected weeks ago, much less at the start of the season. Now, Leicester City vs. Manchester United, as the top two teams in the Premier League, will spark the […]

Taking some time off during the international break, Manchester United’s Wayne Rooney decided to take in WWE’s Monday Night Raw with his son as they were in Manchester. Things took a turn as wrestler Wade Barrett had a bone to pick with the all time England scoring leader. Barrett, a legit Preston North End fan, […]

Back in July, Manchester United manager made a mistake when he referred to defender Chris Smalling, who was sitting right next to him, as Mike at a press conference for the pre-season International Champions Cup. Tuesday night, after United defeated CSKA Moscow, he made the same mistake as he once again referred to his now star […]

The halfway pole is now in the rearview mirror for half of the UEFA Champions League groups and boy are things getting interesting. Only a few clubs are safe, with Real Madrid punching its ticket for the knockout stage after Tuesday. However, the return legs from Matchday 3 gave us all sorts of entertainment and […]

This is going to be rather short because there really isn’t much to talk about in this Manchester Derby. In a highly defensive battle, both teams walked away with a point in a 0-0 draw. Sure the game had its moments and it looked like Manchester United was more concerned about getting a winner but […]

The Manchester Derby is this Sunday and if recent history is any indication, it will be one of the most important matches this season in regards of deciding who wins the Premier League title. Forget that this is a derby with two teams who despise each other, a win here can vault one team closer […]
