Carragher Calls for “Three to Five Year” Punishment for Manchester City
Manchester City are guilty of systemically breaking Premier League rules. They have appealed that verdict, naturally.

Grace Fisk On Manchester United Loss: We’re Disappointed In The Performance
Some old problems came to play on Saturday when Liverpool visited Manchester United, and they came away with a narrow loss after Julia Zigiotti scored early on.

Rio Ngumoha Ranked #11 in CIES Most Valuable Teenagers List
CIES Football Observatory just released their rankings of the most valuable teenage prospects, and because this is the worst and longest international break ever, I’m writing about it. The only surprise is that Rio Ngumoha isn’t in the top 10. But I guess eleventh isn’t bad, either. As CIES is wont to do, they invented […]
