Don’t prime the confetti cannons just yet. The headline is another three points and another international break navigated without damage beyond the paintwork. But this was a match which finished with Jesse Lingard and Dominic Calvert-Lewin – two bewilderingly late...

Guys, guys...I leave for one month, and you let Lampard get sacked and West Ham into the top six?? Who let Arsenal into the top 10? CHELSEA lost to Arsenal 3-1? Did Mourinho fall off a cliff, or was it just Tottenham that fell off a cliff? The city of Manchester is...

I’m starting to sympathize with Klopp - the amount of fixtures crammed into seven days is insane! Unfortunately for me, I can’t get mad at the journalists for scheduling them the way they’re scheduled…What I can do, however, is fit three matchweeks worth of action...

Week 11 brought a breath of fresh air for the new big six (sorry Arsenal, in the words of our soon-to-be former President, you’re fired!). Manchester City, Chelsea, Manchester United, Leicester City, Tottenham, and Liverpool all pulled three points out of the bag. One...

After almost a month of slacking (international break, plus traveling, plus Thanksgiving, ok?), An American Take has returned - just in time for the Premier League to pass the 25% milestone in this campaign! It was a rollercoaster of a week, so let’s dive in. At the...

England 4-0 Iceland Rice (20'), Mount (24'), Foden (80', 84') Saevarsson (OFF 54') England knew they were finishing 3rd. Iceland knew they were finishing 4th. This was a dead rubber, a dead rubber so dead it was practically fossilised. Mind you – it still had a little...

Belgium 2-0 England Tielemans (10'), Mertens (23') The Premier League has come to feel like the semi-spiritual home of the Belgium national team. Philippe Albert, Vincent Kompany, Eden Hazard, Romelu Lukaku, Toby Alderweireld, Jan Vertonghen – some of the greatest...

England 3-0 Republic of Ireland Maguire (18'), Sancho (31'), Calvert-Lewin (56' pen) If England’s 54 years of major tournament hurt are excruciating heartache, the 35 years without victory over Ireland were a nagging headache. Enter England’s Nurofen footballer: Jack...

Just like that, all's right with the world. Chelsea? Doesn’t know how to concede a goal. Manchester City? Dominated a struggling Blades side that was lucky to concede only one goal. Liverpool? Clawed their way back from a 1-0 deficit to take all three points and...

Slowly, as the years perform their terrible dance, we are losing them. Nobby Stiles passed away on Friday, 30 October, after a battle with both late-stage dementia and prostate cancer.  Illness is no 50-50. If it was, Nobby would still be with us, his afflictions...

Despite already equaling a third of last season’s losses and draws in their first six matches, Liverpool are back in first place (tied with Everton). On a day where they did not look particularly convincing, Klopp’s side forced their way to three points against a...
