BT Sports Advertisement For The Christmas Fixtures

Posted on December 31, 2014 by Doctor Impossible

I stumbled on this advertisement at the Chelsea blog We Ain’t Got No History. Apparently, they can’t take a joke and chose to talk shit about BT Sports because of their #banter. Of course, this is the same community that didn’t … Continue reading →

Balance At The Bridge

Posted on December 29, 2014 by Doctor Impossible

Before the season began, I wrote about Jose Mourinho building a squad that would contend with the best of Europe, and perhaps pick up a few trophies along the way. I still think Chelsea are a juggernaut, probably not on … Continue reading →

My 2014 in Review: The World Cup

Posted on December 27, 2014 by Jordan Katz

There were so many memorable things about the World Cup. For me, two things in particular especially stood out: one as a neutral and the other as an American. You can probably guess them: Germany 7-1 Brazil and USA 2-1 Ghana. … Continue reading →

Gary Neville Demolishes the EPL

Posted on December 24, 2014 by Doctor Impossible

Gary Neville is one of the best pundits working in television today. On this week’s Monday Night Football (What’s up, Sky? Can’t pick an original name?), he talks about how the Barclays Premier League’s big games have missed the oomph of … Continue reading →

Arsenal Hotspur FC

Posted on December 24, 2014 by Doctor Impossible

Note: This is a work of fiction. We are not in any way implying that North London’s two clubs should merge, despite it being really the best solution for everyone involved.  Crazy idea that just might work: What if Tottenham and Arsenal were to merge clubs? … Continue reading →

What We Learned from Atlético Madrid 0-1 Villarreal

Posted on December 16, 2014 by jerblaber

Atlético should probably put their eggs in the Champions League basket. If you watch Diego Simeone’s men on at least a semi-frequent basis, then you know that he demands 110% effort from every player on the pitch, every match. And his players always comply. … Continue reading →

A New Home for the Former Next Messi

Posted on December 13, 2014 by Moesquare

At the time it was quite shocking to hear that Bojan Krkic signed a long term deal with Stoke City. The shocking part wasn’t necessarily that Bojan wanted long term security contract wise, just that it was… well with Stoke. … Continue reading →

Standing In The Way Of Greatness

Posted on December 4, 2014 by Doctor Impossible

Liverpool skipper Steven Gerrard is one hell of a player, a player who at one time in his career could will his team to victory seemingly by himself. There is perhaps no Premier League player better at taking a game by … Continue reading →

Eliaquim Mangala is a Scapegoat

Posted on December 3, 2014 by Jordan Katz

Scapegoating is easy. It’s also dumb. Eliaquim Mangala is increasingly becoming the scapegoat of Manchester City’s season thus far, and there’s no good reason for that. There is a very clear line between frustration and scapegoating, and there are City … Continue reading →
