David de Gea Is A Freak
Manchester United did not deserve to draw Sevilla 0-0 on the road this afternoon, but the good thing about soccer is that the scarcity of goals produces all manner of undeserved results.

Arsenal Punked Out Of Yet Another Star Player

Jesse Lingard is a lot of things.

Lest you think Arsenal fans have a monopoly on incensed postgame rants helpfully broadcast on fan-driven Youtube channels, here is a completely apoplectic Manchester United supporter doing his best Troopz impression right after the derby loss.

The best big games are clarifying.

Manchester United beat Arsenal this weekend by a 3-1 scoreline that totally belied the action on the field.

Marouane Fellaini is suing New Balance for £2 million in damages after the shoe brand prematurely terminated his contract, which the company said it did because Fellaini wore the shoes without the logo, which Fellaini said he did because the shoes were pieces of crap that hurt his feet, and the logo...
