Premier League

Southampton fans (finally) have something to smile about after their side’s win over Everton in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday night. The Saints have had a woeful start to the Premier League season, recording just one win and sitting in 16th place entering Matchday 8. The victory advances them to next round of the League Cup and gives them a boost that they will be hoping translates to EPL play. As for Everton, the loss means the Toffees are yet again dumped out of the Cup at the hands of top-flight opposition.

Beginning with the World Cup and carrying into the first month and a half of the new club season, it’s hard to argue against Eden Hazard’s standing as the most influential attacker in football (and the most fun to watch).

The enthralling Chelsea-Liverpool match was nearing an end with the home side inching closer to an impressive win on Saturday at Stamford Bridge. Then the Daniel Sturridge goal vs. Chelsea happened and the world exploded. Or, at the very least, the internet exploded.

How much longer can this go on?

Surely the Glazers are asking themselves this very question as they’ve now watched Manchester United stoop to its joint worst ever start to a Premier League season just days after losing to a Championship side in the League Cup.
