And then there were none … league matches for the 2018-18 season, that is. It was a largely anti-climactic conclusion to a barnstorming season, the relegation battle already over, armistice all but reached for […]

The matches have been coming quick and fast, and it has thus been hard to find a point to stop and write this latest post. I decided after the Europa League semis was the best I could do. One must start with […]

Last Tuesday brought us a key matchup at the bottom of the table with Cardiff still alive, barely, after beating Brighton 2-0 at Falmer Stadium. After games last weekend and earlier this week, Brighton have now […]

As has been the case for several weeks now, the weekend kicked off Friday night, with a hot Leicester hosting a Newcastle side that was still in the relegation fight. And “was” is probably the right verb tense her […]

The midweek matches last week saw United take a step backwards (losing 2-1 at Wolves), City rise back to the top of the table for a couple of days after a 2-0 win over Cardiff, Tottenham finally win a match 2-0 […]

Man City rose back to the apex of the league Saturday with a 2-0 victory over hapless Fulham. Huddersfield then lost 2-0 at Crystal Palace to become the first team to be relegated this season. Two other teams […]

The Champions League kept giving us surprises last week with Man City actually firing in 10 goals in aggregate after their 7-0 thrashing of Schalke and then Juve turning things around in Turin to advance 3-2 on […]

Week 30 of the Premier League season saw a serious shakeup below the top two spots, with Tottenham losing for the third time in their last four league matches, 2-1 to Southampton, Chelsea needing a 92nd minute […]

Arsenal had a chance to earn all three points when Aubameyang stepped to the spot in the 90th minute Saturday, but his very weak penalty was easily saved by Lloris and Tottenham ended their losing skid at two […]

The Premier League returned last Friday after a two-week hiatus, with the biggest matchup of the weekend the last – with Liverpool continuing their mini-slide by drawing their third in their last four at Old T […]

The big matchup of Match Week 26 was its penultimate one with City trying to return to the top a day after Liverpool finally righted their ship with a 3-0 victory over Bournemouth. Their opponent was Chelsea, who […]

The weekend started with a wild 4-3 win for the Wolves, who blew two leads before finally winning in the 93rd minute. Liverpool then had to come back from a 1-0 deficit and 2-2 scoreline to win in the 93rd minute […]

Last week brought us the first legs of the League Cup semifinals and the favorites put a toe and all but a couple centimeters of two legs in the final, respectively, as Tottenham beat Chelsea 1-0 at Wembley and […]

It was starting to look like Liverpool might cruise to their first title in 28 years, though few really believed that was ever a foregone conclusion with defending champs Man City still in play. But the matchup of […]

Happy 2019! Another year of the Trump presidency under our belt, the good news is there might only be two more of them (or less, if things really go the country’s way). On to football … Spurs were starting to loo […]

It was a barnburner of a Tuesday in the Champions League, with several sides fighting for Round of 16 berths. It was the English sides that came up on top, sending two of Italy’s finest down to the Europa L […]

As we enter December, the matches come fast and furious, as they did with two round of fixtures from last Tuesday to Monday. In the midweek matches, all of Man City, Tottenham and Liverpool won while United and […]

The table in England is starting to look as many would have predicted, with the “big six” occupying six of the top 7 spots; Everton the only remaining interloper, one point above United after a 1-0 win over Car […]

The gulf between Manchester City and United came into full repose Sunday, as City cruised past United 3-1. Liverpool won 2-0 over an awful Fulham side, Tottenham won another close match 1-0 at Selhurst Park while […]
