After going unbeaten in all but one of their last ten games (only loss against EPL champs Leicester) dating back to February, Sunderland have once again survived relegation by beating Everton 3-0 in their next to last game of their English Premier League season. Sunderland’s win means their city rival Newcastle United and Norwich City […]

Newcastle United have been the big movers in this January transfer window. With four players brought in that are expected to start, or at least challenge to start, we are left to wonder what the heck is happening at Tyneside. This is a team with a famously stingy owner, who is content to take more […]

Before today, did anyone think Newcastle was going to beat Liverpool? No, nobody thought that. I’m guessing even Newcastle players didn’t think that because if they did, Steve McLaren wouldn’t have had to hire a motivational speaker for the players. Whether it was the motivational speaker or Liverpool having to come off of a Capital […]

Newcastle United and the Newcastle fans at St. James Park and all over the world thought they had this game won. They held tough and at times, Newcastle looked like the better team but they just couldn’t hold on to their 2-0 lead on defending Premier League champions Chelsea. In a game in which, before […]

The English Premier League season starts on August 8 and we at 32 Flags cannot wait for the start of the EPL and the rest of the European league season. One of the great things about the new season is the new kit designs from all the teams. Some kits are works of art while […]

The Relegation Battle You know that seventh season episode of The Simpsons with George Bush (the first of the Bush dynasty)? The big gag of the episode is when Bush unfurls a banner where he drew pictures of Bart and Homer with text that reads “Two Bad Neighbors.” But nobody can understand what Bush is trying to say; his drawings of […]

Raheem Sterling has had a bit of a dry spell putting the ball in the back of the net. Sterling hasn’t scored for Liverpool since February 22 when they beat Southampton 2-0. That was eight games and what seemed like an eternity ago. Sterling’s “will he or won’t he sign a new Liverpool contract” has […]

Three games took place today in the EPL. We had games featuring six teams who really needed a result to make a statement on the rest of their season. Chelsea needed the win to make a bigger gap in their fight for the EPL title. Southampton needed the win to get themselves back into the […]

I’m not going to lie, seeing Burnley vs. West Brom and Newcastle vs. Stoke on the schedule at 7 AM and 9 AM respectively, it was a tough ask to get me out of bed early on a Sunday morning to see these games. If you got up at 7 AM or 4 AM on […]

The Tyne-Wear Derby is one of the more physical games of the year and this game was no different. Interestingly though, it wasn’t man vs. man that was the most physical confrontational moment of the day, it was man vs. pole. Newcastle’s Steven Taylor, while saving a goal, went face first into the post. It […]
