Oh Louie, What Art Thou Doing?
This was supposed to go differently. I was ready to talk about Louis van Gaal’s lack of a footballing style – I wouldn’t call it a philosophy yet – and how his United side look so much the antithesis of an United side. Put simply, Van Gaal’s United so far have been, well, boring. There…

The Manager Who Asked Por Que
Jose Mourinho has a problem. Coming into this weekend’s showdown with second place Manchester City, he finds himself without Diego Costa, the Premier League’s leading scorer who was banned three games by the Football Association for his various transgressions in the Capital One Cup game against Liverpool. Jose Mourinho may also find himself without the Premier…

In Defense of the FA Cup (Sort Of)
It’s that time of year (again) where we’re supposed to give a care about football that, for the most part, the players involved don’t seem to care about – at least the ones we see on a regular basis. I’m not talking about international week (although as a City fan, I do want the Ivory…

He’s another cog in the Chelsea machine — despite once being…

Santiago Cazorla Or Mesut Ozil: Arsenal’s Awkward Situation
The little Spaniard was everywhere at the Etihad, combining relentless running with cagey creativity as Arsene Wenger collected his first win against a top team in… ages, it felt like. And he has Santi Cazorla to thank for it. Cazorla started centrally as part of a midfield three with Alexis Sanchez and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, and boy…

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 want Diego Costa because they thought he was a cunt. This isn’t the first…

Balance At The Bridge
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 par with Real Madrid or Bayern Munich, but definitely not too far behind. The additions…
