When do Leicester consider the unthinkable?

0 comments by Jeff Snyder on 2/23/2017

Leicester’s 2016/17 season has not gone according to plan. Their defense of the Premier League title has been bumpy at best, and they now sit a single point above the relegation zone. If they do not turn things around immediately they risk dropping out of the Premier League next year. Much of the blame falls […]

Enough complaining! How about enjoying the truly terrific English season that’s going on

Since I am a millennial, I completely understand that people in my generation complain a lot. We all know it’s true so there’s no point in denying it. However, that doesn’t mean that it’s fair to say millennials are the only generation of complainers. In fact, the older generation of people seem to do a […]

This is shaping up to the be the most exciting Premier League season yet

0 comments by Pauly Kwestel on 2/10/2017

“The title race in the Premier League is always wide open!” That statement is usually one of the biggest arguments Premier League fans use to show why the Premier League is superior to Europe’s other top leagues. After all, Bayern Munich has run away with the Bundesliga the last five seasons. La Liga is always […]

Why isn’t there a consistent challenger to Chelsea this year?

0 comments by Jeff Snyder on 2/7/2017

Ever since Chelsea went on their incredible winning streak, several teams have challenged them for the top of the table. First, it was Manchester City. After they fell away, it was Arsenal. Next, it was Liverpool. Now, Tottenham seem the most likely candidates. This could ultimately change should Liverpool snag points off of Spurs this […]

A look at the clubs Leicester City could join as the worst title defenses in history

0 comments by Harrison Prolic on 2/6/2017

Leicester City’s surprise run to the Premier League title took everyone by surprise last year. A year removed from their historic achievement, they have taken quite a step back. Or more appropriately, they have gone back to the form everyone thought was inevitable. Title defenses are difficult, and Leicester is finding out the hard way […]

Both Manchester teams are solidly in the top four hunt after winning Sunday

0 comments by Phillip Bupp on 2/5/2017

For the second time in less than a week, both Manchester teams faced a very preferable situation. After seeing how the top four finished the day before, both Manchester City and Manchester United knew that they would be able to gain points on multiple top four teams if either win. After Chelsea, Tottenham and Liverpool […]

What if Manchester United fans don’t know the full story behind Wayne Rooney

0 comments by Pauly Kwestel on 2/2/2017

At the end of the day, it comes down to numbers. It always does. Wayne Rooney has numbers. He now has 250 goals for Manchester United, the most in club history. He’s also scored more goals for England than anyone else. What Wayne Rooney does not have, is the adoration of all Manchester United fans. To […]

Jermain Defoe is the most valuable player in the Premier League

0 comments by Pauly Kwestel on 1/27/2017

Think of all the stars in the Premier League. Who is coming to your mind? It’s probably the usual cast of characters. Paul Pogba, Zlatan Ibarhimovic, Sergio Aguero, Diego Costa, Harry Kane, Alexis Sanchez, Kevin de Bruyne and a whole slew of others. But you would probably have to list off about 50 players before […]

Who would play in a Premier League All-Star Game

0 comments by Pauly Kwestel on 1/26/2017

With the Premier League, NHL, and NBA all just passing the halfway points of their season, and the latter two getting ready for their midseason All-Star games, it got me thinking: Who would play in a Premier League all star game? Obviously, this game would feature the Premier League’s best XI against some random MLS team […]

Frantic and controversial ending sends Arsenal into second place

A wild final few minutes saw Arsenal go from cautious to despondent to joyful as they snatched a 2-1 win against an inform Burnley side. It took a 97th-minute penalty from Alexis Sanchez to get the win, but Arsenal’s victory sees them leapfrog Tottenham in the table.

There’s a difference between squad rotation and resting players

0 comments by Pauly Kwestel on 1/19/2017

Last season, Leicester City made fewer changes than anyone and won the Premier League. This year the same can be said about Chelsea. But you know what also can be said about both clubs? Neither of them had to make any changes! Oh Gary. For such a wise pundit how could you say something so […]

Is Pep Guardiola right in conceding the Premier League for Manchester City?

0 comments by Jeff Snyder on 1/18/2017

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has admitted that his team are out of the Premier League title race following their heavy 4-0 loss to Everton over the weekend. This loss leaves them 10 points behind league leaders Chelsea, and outside of the top four. With 17 games left in the season, catching up to Chelsea […]

Jose Mourinho is setting Manchester United up for long term failure

0 comments by Pauly Kwestel

When Jose Mourinho was appointed manager of Manchester United last summer the fan base was split over the decision. Some loved the move as Mourinho seems to win wherever he goes, while others were skeptical since he seems to leave a trail of fire when he leaves. There was also another issue that had all […]

Five predictions for the rest of 2016/17 Premier League season

0 comments by Jeff Snyder on 1/12/2017

This Premier League season has already been a bit crazy. With Chelsea going on a 13-game win streak, teams looking like title favorites, only to fall away, and teams that we expected to challenge for Europe (Leicester and West Ham) fighting to avoid relegation. Only a madman would try to predict how the rest of […]

Unlike the rest of Europe, an overcrowded calendar is dimming the FA Cup’s luster

0 comments by Harrison Prolic on 1/9/2017

Approaching its 150th birthday, The FA Cup is the oldest cup competition in the world. It’s absolutely dripping with history and should be on the wish list of every club in England. Why then do Premier League teams spend a good chunk of the early rounds using it as an excuse to trot out the kids? […]
