Jamie Vardy's Bulldozing Goal Is A Metaphor For Leicester City's Season
Watch this latest Jamie Vardy goal, his 21st of the season.

Fo...

Dimitri Payet Is On A Roll

At Least Man City Is Giving Bournemouth Supporters Something Interesting To Watch
Poor AFC Bournemouth. For those of us who hitched our stars to the Cherries before this season instead of, uh, Leicester, it’s been less-than-fun.

Damn, This Dude Flat Out Crushes This Ball
A lot to enjoy here: 1) the shot by Wimbledon’s Jake Reeves itself, coming off an expertly controlled bounding ball and a wallop of a kick that sends the it way up into the air before it dips and swerves into the goal; 2) Reeves’s cocky little strut that he starts right after the ball comes off his ...
What On Earth Is Going On With José Mourinho's Manchester United Pre-Contract?
