Gerard Deulofeu Is Kind Of A Nutcase But I Love Him All The Same
If the whole of Arsenal’s 2-1 win over Everton this weekend left me with any lasting impression, it was that I should give more respect to the Gunners’ budding title charge; they more or less coasted to another three points against formidable opposition, the sort of thing they’ve seemed capable of i...

Russian Idiot On The Field Uses MacGyver Skills To Escape Security

Crowd Howls In Laughter After Humiliated Striker Misses Open Net
