Is 2015/16’s Aston Villa the worst Premier League team ever?

0 comments by Jeff Snyder on 3/17/2016

This season has not been a great one for fans of Aston Villa. With 30 games played, they have only won a total of three and sit with a total of 16 points. Some pretty abysmal stuff. Even when they have managed to simply not lose, the Aston Villa players have looked resigned to their fate. With […]

The real reason behind this crazy Premier League season

0 comments by Jeff Snyder on 3/11/2016

This season has seen an unprecedented amount of success for traditionally smaller teams, compared to the larger ones. The obvious is Leicester City, who are currently five points ahead at the top of the table. There are others that need credit, though. Teams like West Ham United, Stoke, and, to an extent, Watford have all […]

Are Manchester City now out of the Premier League title race?

0 comments by Jeff Snyder on 3/3/2016

With the 3-0 loss to Liverpool yesterday, Manchester City sit on tied on points, though with a game in hand, with city rivals Manchester United. They may have won the Capital One Cup, but Manchester City now find themselves in a scrap for 4th, not just the title. We have to ask, does this loss take Manchester […]

What is going on with Manchester City?

0 comments by Jeff Snyder on 2/15/2016

This weekend featured a title dust-up that promised to shake things up in the title race, either with a new league leader or solidifying who was in charge. What nobody expected to happen was former league favorites, Manchester City, falling even farther behind. With the most expensive team in the league and everybody struggling so […]

The Anfield walkout is a Premier League problem as well as a Liverpool problem

0 comments by Phillip Bupp on 2/10/2016

The English Premier League is in the middle of a crisis. Last weekend, upwards of 10,000 Liverpool fans walked out on their team in the 77th minute of their game against Sunderland, in protest of £77 ($111) tickets in the new stand as well as increasing ticket prices over the years. It’s not as if […]

Predicting the Premier League Top Four

0 comments by Jeff Snyder on 2/4/2016

We’re over the halfway hump of the season now, so we can expect to have a great look at who will be in the Top Four come the end of the season. It has been a really odd season thus far, with teams you wouldn’t expect jumping into the mix, and many teams struggling to […]

Is the FA Cup still worth it?

0 comments by Jeff Snyder on 1/29/2016

For a long time, there has been a debate for a long time about whether or not there was still value in the FA Cup. It is the oldest football association cup in the world, first being held in 1871. It is also the most significant English domestic cup competition, and winning the competition qualifies […]

Video replay technology needs to be top priority

0 comments by Jeff Snyder on 1/20/2016

While I have discussed this topic before, the debate still rages on as to whether it is a wise decision to implement video replay technology in soccer. The issue, however, couldn’t be more clear. The International Football Association Board (IFAB) has even announced that they plan to start making steps towards introducing video replay technology […]

Who got the better deal in the Charlie Austin transfer?

0 comments by Jeff Snyder on 1/18/2016

With the £4m transfer of Charlie Austin from QPR to Southampton blazing to completion over the weekend, we need to look at who got the best deal. It would be easy to say Southampton. They got a quality goalscorer who is Premier League proven in Austin for only £4m. With their top scorer Graziano Pelle […]

The Northwest Derby, the rivalry match between Liverpool and Manchester United, is one of those storied rivalries that transcends coaches, players, and owners.

Five Premier League managers most likely to get the sack in 2016

0 comments by Jeff Snyder on 1/13/2016

As we just pass the halfway point in this 2015-16 Premier League season, some managers are under more pressure than others to perform and to keep their own jobs past the end of this season. These five managers are under the most pressure and are likely to get sacked between now and the end of […]

Chelsea is back…sort of

0 comments by Jeff Snyder on 1/8/2016

One of the biggest stories of 2015 was Chelsea’s woes, both on and off the pitch. After the sacking of Jose Mourinho, results are starting to turn around. They have gone from losing to Bournemouth to beating Crystal Palace by three goals. A pretty remarkable turn around. Does this mean the Chelsea of old are […]

Premier League Insanity: Is this the start of something new?

0 comments by Jeff Snyder on 1/5/2016

The Premier League has been in absolute turmoil this season. Depending on where you sit and who you support, this could be either a good thing or a bad thing. If you happen to be a fan of a traditionally “big” club, one that finishes in the top half of the table consistently, it is […]
