Tottenham Overcome Terrible Luck To Beat Manchester City

Liverpool Aren't Making This Easy
It was all good just a month ago.

Even with a close away loss, Liverpool still ...
Manchester City Beat Liverpool And The Shit Just Got Real<em></em><em></em>

Thank God David Silva's Hair Transplant Is Finally Taking Root

The Premier League, as it often does, got a little more top heavy today, after a successful-yet-pragmatic club sold its most valuable player to an elite team that didn’t really need him.
