Is This Man Good Or Just Lucky?
Alan Pardew is a vile creature. He’s not the most liked manager in the PL. Heck, he’s not the most liked person in the PL… and Joey Barton’s back. Pardew’s so despised, Wenger tried to throw a punch at him in 2006. OK, maybe it was just a touchline bust-up between the two. But still,…

Why Liverpool won’t be this year’s Tottenham
An increasingly prevalent opinion that’s developed recently amongst the media and fans alike is Liverpool will be this year’s Tottenham. Liverpool sold their best player just as Tottenham did in the summer of 2013, and Liverpool is now buying several lesser quality players to replace their best player, again just like Tottenham. But there are…

Jose Mourinho & His Amazing Technicolor Squad
Chelsea have been pretty busy this transfer window. While their squad was pretty good last year, Jose Mourinho decided that he wanted more. After selling Brazilian defender – which is a stretch – and probable Sideshow Bob impersonator David Luiz for 50 million pounds (easily the best piece of business this summer, by the way),…

The USA Lost and I Couldn’t Be Prouder
The United States lost to Belgium 2-1 today. Despite that, I couldn’t be prouder of everyone involved in my country’s national team, from the players to the staff to the fans. I’m proud of what a great job Jurgen Klinsmann has done with this team. He made bringing in German-Americans a focus. Clint Dempsey was…

A Culture Of Fear: The English National Team
Last season’s Liverpool team was perhaps the best and worst thing to happen to the English national team setup. Brendan Rodgers built a free flowing, attacking squad on a mostly English spine. All Roy Hodgson had to do was take that blueprint and somehow wiggle Wayne Rooney into it. That’s it. So easy, even old…

Dreams Realized, Dreams Crushed
They weren’t supposed to be here. They weren’t supposed to make it this far. And yet, against all odds, against all statistics and finances and holy shits how are they even still walking?!, they were. Some of them, anyway. When the starting XI for the Champions League final were announced for both teams, there was no…

The Evolution Of Pep Guardiola
Last night, Real Madrid vanquished Bayern Munich 4-0 to grab their place in the Champions League final in Lisbon, which is going to be played on May 17 of this year. It wasn’t supposed to be this way for Bayern Munich, if the pundits were to be believed. You see, Bayern was the defending champions of…
