The Premier League Should Bring Back Standing Sections
The introduction of safe standing was on the agenda at a Premier League meeting today, and reports coming out of it were cautiously optimistic that it could be introduced to the Premier League in the not-so-distant future.

Paul Pogba Finally Played Like Paul Pogba
Most every great player has a signature move, a thing they do to or with or around the ball that immediately clarifies for you that that one of 10 uniformly colored little blurs out there running with the ball is in fact, say, Arjen Robben and not Philipp Lahm. (In that instance, it’s Robben’s dangl...

Xherdan Shaqiri's Left Foot Had A Hell Of A Game
It seems almost quaint now to remember that last summer, the fallen wonderkid Xherdan Shaqiri at first rejected, before accepting, the bejeweled life raft Stoke City tossed him in order to rescue him from Inter’s bench and the career obsolescence that loomed dangerously close. Stoke are a mainstay i...
The Premier League Has Never Been Better
Coming into this rich and talented and historically well-coached Premier League season, no one had any real idea about who was good and who was bad and who would win (probably Manchester City).
