Premier League Votes To Force-Feed Fans Steaming Piles Of VAR Next Season
If you read this site you probably already know why VAR, soccer’s misguided foray into video replay, is shit.

It's Time To Admit That Manchester City Are Unstoppable
Look, we get it. To a certain way of thinking, blowouts are bad, indisputable superiority is boring, and a season with a wire-to-wire table-topper isn’t as enthralling as a tightly competitive one.

Mohamed Salah Is Smiling Again
There was a minor inquest into Mohamed Salah’s state of mind following Liverpool’s comprehensive victory against Red Star in the Champions League last week.

Even The Mighty Premier League Must Bow Before The Power Of America's Stupidest Sport
Though I am a big fan of European soccer, I am an even bigger fan of massive, gaudy manifestations of American exceptionalism. And what better display of the U.S. in all its decadence and sun-blotting self-regard than us having our biggest, dumbest sport that nobody else cares about ruin the pitch o...

When Mesut Özil Is On His Game, He's A Goddamn Marvel
Arsenal moved into a three-way tie on points for third in the Premier League with a 3-1 win over Leicester City today. More than anyone else, the Gunners have Mesut Özil to thank for that.

José Mourinho No Longer Tolerates Over-Celebrating, Apparently
After a second Anthony Martial goal put Manchester United up 2-1 against Chelsea in the 73rd minute, it looked like José Mourinho had inspired his side, yet again, to put in a second-half comeback performance to seal a win.

Racism and soccer go together like peas and carrots, or like cigarettes and lung cancer.

The Biggest Game Of The Premier League Season Was Kind Of A Dud
It’s generally not a good testament to a soccer match’s quality when the most compelling footage taken from the game involves a couple of guys talking to each other. That was the case for yesterday’s hyped-up Liverpool vs. Manchester City match, a clash that had everyone who’d tuned in giddy to watc...

Paul Pogba And José Mourinho's Relationship Is Rapidly Deteriorating
When last we updated you on the fraught situation between Manchester United manager José Mourinho and his star player Paul Pogba, the two parties were slamming their team’s performance this weekend and low-key (or in Pogba’s case, explicitly) blaming one another for the loss. In just a few short day...
