Premier League Shock in Champions League Knockouts
This season was supposed to be the year the Premier League finally asserted complete dominance over European football. Six English teams qualified for the Champions League, all advancing past the Round of 16. Five clubs even finished in the automatic top-eight qualifying spots.

Tottenham Spurs Survival: Tudor and Relegation Fight

Pochettino later led Spurs to a historic Champions League final. The foundation of that team was outstanding recruitment. Jan Vertonghen, Kyle Walker, Christian Eriksen, Dele Alli, and Heung-Min Son arrived largely unheralded before becoming global superstars. Alongside Harry Kane, who became Spurs’ and England’s t

Will anyone catch Arsenal?
In sports, the only certain prediction is that the individual making it risks appearing foolish. This general truth is especially applicable to the ever-unpredictable Premier League, particularly when predictions are made after only ten games. With all in mind, I am going to try and gaze into my crystal ball and predict if anyone will be able to stop the current leaders, Arsenal, from finally getting their hands on the most coveted prize in English football—the Premier League

It’s football, Pep, but not as we know it.
Since the inception of the game, the role of a football manager has been to devise a strategy to set their team up to win football matches—put bluntly, arrange the eleven men on the pitch in such a way that the team scores more goals than they concede.
