If not for Arsene Wenger and the sacrifices he's made, it’s hard to imagine where Arsenal would be today. The stature, the reputation or even the identity Arsenal have as a club among all other European giants is all down to the Frenchman’s contributions. Compare the club’s state prior to Wenger’s appointment and the state thereafter, and you’ll […]

While English soccer was still bathing in Danny Welbeck’s fairy-tale return for Arsenal, the West Midlands were in shock and utter despair, not least because of Aston Villa's 0-6 annihilation by Liverpool, but also because of an inexplicably rudderless performance. Nearly four decades ago, the Villa Park that now is characterized by deafening boos and countless critics used […]

The beginning of a remarkable demise for Manchester United was the 0-3 defeat against Arsenal in October. As you’d expect, especially in England, the manager is the one taking all the flak, and on this occasion, rightly so. To be frank, Louis Van Gaal and Manchester United were never made for each other. The methods […]

English soccer fans are fortunate to be witnessing one of those incredible seasons set on fire with its unpredictability and surreal results aplenty. The quality of the soccer when compared with the spending has been highly questionable with none of the title-challenging teams matching the quality of soccer that one would expect. Be it Arsenal, Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur […]

Mesut Ozil has been a long-standing favorite for critiques and critics alike. More than a year ago, as the German returned from an injury that kept him out for the more decisive part of the season, the shadows of detractors lurked over his shoulders, cavorting and taunting the German about his physical shortcomings and the […]

It’s not very often that Premier League’s rich giants are ready to chop each others’ heads to specks to secure the signature of a manager, and that too for a sum larger than Wayne Rooney’s, the highest earning player in the Premier League. The day Pep Guardiola officially announced he would depart Bayern Munich at […]

The last time Arsenal held the pole position in the Premier League (2013/14), the manner in which they blew their title became a story tough to describe and hard to digest. The Gunners were on course for their fourth Premier League title and were table toppers until February, when fourth-placed Liverpool gave them a reality […]

It’s Christmas period, and Leicester City are top of the table. Meanwhile Chelsea are still enduring a chastening season, with their beloved Jose Mourinho sacked in what seems a strange move – unless, of course, they’ve got someone like Diego Simeone lined up as “The Special One’s” successor. Perhaps to their delight, Chelsea aren’t the […]

The extravagance of Real Madrid when compared to the results of the new Galactico Era has become shocking. Utterly shocking. Eight-goal wins over Malmo not withstanding, compared to where Los Blancos were before Florentino Perez’s 2009 return, the club hasn’t made progress, having regressed from the heights of their 10th European title a year-and-a-half ago. […]

For all the brilliance Arsenal have produced throughout the Premier League season, their current situation seems to be a bit of a shemozzle – a wonderful mess that has resulted from their own failures, both on and off the field. And the situation is not even a surprise, because over the past decade or so, […]

There are stories, and then there are stories we will always remember. Leicester City's rise from the bottom on the Premier League is becoming the latter. From the start of the 2014-15 season to this point, 13 rounds into the campaign, the Foxes have played as title contenders do. It should be no surprise to […]
