10 games have already been played in the most exciting league in the world, but no one is running away with the title yet – still one point separating first from fourth. The EPL, as we all know it, is deeply conditioned to produce some jaw-dropping moments. The highlights of last season were Leicester’s unbelievable campaign, a well decorated...

England beat their neighbours Scotland 3-0 via goals from Sturridge, Lallana, Cahill. Although they recorded their biggest win over their Scottish counterpart since may 1975 (via OptaJoe), they still produced a below par performance which would have saw them lose to a supposedly inferior opposition. Unsurprisingly, England's three goals came from headers and those were their only shots on target...

Nigeria continued their quest to qualify for the 2018 World Cup in Russia, with a 3-1 win over Algeria, at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State. Victor Moses scored twice for the Super Eagles, while John Mikel Obi also found the back of the net. The North Africans grabbed what proved to be a consolation through Nabil...

Football is a crazy game. It is full of ups and downs, moments of magic, hair-tearing misses and buffoonery. It's a game that takes you through the entire emotional spectrum a human can feel. It is life. The beauty and power of this game is further aided by a cadre of footballers who have made coming off the bench...

The biggest transfer window in English Premier League history occurred this past summer and Manchester United were probably the biggest winners. A trophy winning world class coach, the Swedish god of football (and probably the best player in the Ligue 1) alongside a commanding centre-back were the first signings that got their fans excited. One world record transfer later...

For Chelsea, last season was one to forget, and one to remember for rival fans. The Blues set a new Premier League title defence record and went as far as flirting with relegation for a bit. Consequently the Special One was sacked. This season the story has changed largely because of one man; Antonio Conte. It’s almost as if the Italian...

Southampton has a special place in English football history. From producing great legends to remarkable off field stories. From thriving at the top to even having to go back down and come back up again, what's not to like about the club? The Saints were promoted back into the Premier League during the 2012/13 season and avoided immediate relegation, finishing...

Pep Guardiola. What Crisis? What a difference one UCL game can make right? After enduring the longest winless run of his managerial career including a 4-0 hammering at the Camp Nou, fangs were bared. Pundits and football Einsteins alike were quick to point out that Guardiola was in over his head at Manchester City. Such talk has since died down...

Football has evolved. It has moved from the defensive solidity Helenio Herrera and the Italians sold to the world, or the silky skills of the Pele, Diego Maradona and other South Americans. The same goes for the iconic number 10s each team just had to have back then, or the Dutch doctrine of Total Football. What we have now is...

“Lider Con Apuros,” that was the headline boldly plastered across the back page of Madrid-based Sports daily, MARCA. Loosely translated as “Leader with Troubles,” it as an apt description of Real Madrid’s current plight. This is not quite the usual crisis talk few bad Los Merengues result bring. Madrid is atop La Liga Santander and unbeaten in 23 games dating...
