Saturday’s Manchester City v. Arsenal match was exciting for many reasons: six goals, fast, fluid play, a fun atmosphere, two players playing against their former team, fans throwing all sorts of things at one certain player... All of this made for a great match. While I’ll only mention Adebayor’s celebration just this once, we can […]

There's something about the new Premier League intro that plays before each game that bothers me. If you haven't seen it, take a minute to watch it first (click the video above). It's definitely a feel good video that illustrates the global appeal of the Premier League from Africa to Asia and other continents. But […]

Espanyol 0-3 Real Madrid 0-1 Granero, 39’ 0-2 Guti, 77’ 0-3 Ronaldo, 90’ This was a constant refrain from the Spanish language announcers and the theme of most of the match, as the Merengues struggled to hold their nerve at the back, occasionally looking as porous as SpongeBob Square Pants in defense. It should be […]

For the fourth time in three years, the Galaxy and Burn, I mean Hoops, or whatever they are called these days, has played an entertaining game of the highest sort. This is a big break for MLS, as two of the biggest TV markets in the country are featured in this budding rivalry. Beginning with […]

As the EPL and the rest of Europe completes the first month of the domestic season, it is interesting to look at the travels of perhaps the EPL's greatest finisher: one Robbie Fowler. Having been discarded by Blackburn amidst the outing of old friend Paul Ince, many wondered what Fowler's next move would be. MLS […]

Manchester City v Arsenalby leslery Emmanuel Adebayor has committed the ultimate sin. Leaving a big four club for a side with ambition to join the elite clubs in England. For this, and his actions on the pitch in Saturday’s 4-2 City win at Eastlands, he must be banned for life from English football. Arsenal fans […]

Arsenal Fans Can Have No Excuses Emmanuel Adebayor is Public Enemy Number One at the moment, partly for his stamp on Robin Van Persie, and mostly because of his goal celebration in front of the Arsenal fans. "Inciting a riot". Of course it was ill-advised – he must have Ashley Cole's Public Relations officer – […]

I realize Crewe Alexandra isn't a Championship football team any longer (they're now in League Two), but Crewe has a rich history in English football and were recently in the Championship. Thanks to TheOriginalWinger, they uncovered this incredible video of what Gresty Road looked like in 1979. In the 1979 BBC Great Railway Journeys of […]

The latest video flashback takes us back to the second season of the Premier League for a massive match between Blackburn Rovers and Manchester United. The video features the opening to Match Of The Day (MOTD) featuring presenter Des Lynam and pundits Alan Hansen and Trevor Brooking. After setting the scene, the BBC cameras descend […]

It’s a feature of human nature that we are quick, in the heat of the moment, to see our point of view over another’s. However, the mature person is able to see, after some introspection, the extent to which he is culpable. Professional athletes often lack this maturity. The lore of Emmanuel Adebayor includes tales […]

The Fire Bob Bradley movement has returned front and center. This movement’s proponents continue to advocate the termination of the current US coach while offering little advice in the way of a realistic replacement. Many proponents of this movement have also vastly over rated the talent level in the current US Men’s National Team Player […]

Emmanuel Adebayor answered his critics in spectacular fashion Saturday afternoon in one of his best performances ever on any football pitch during Manchester City's incredible 4-2 win against Arsenal. Adebayor had a lot to prove to Arsenal supporters after he left on bad terms this summer. After scoring a decisive header past the reach of […]

Before playing Arsenal, former Arsenal striker Emmanuel Adebayor said Arsenal supporters are “not real fans.” "What is good at City is the fans. They love you.
