Premier League

Bob Bradley was appointed as the new coach for Swansea City on October 3rd, becoming the first American to manage in the Premier League. 

Swansea are currently struggling at the bottom of the table with one win, one draw and six losses in their first eight games. They are in 19th position and decided to let Italian manager Francesco Guidolin go after only 25 matches in charge.

Liverpool and Manchester United were treated to a very special, very furry guest Monday at Anfield.

Southampton legend Francis Benali finished his epic race for charity by running a lap of honor around Saint Mary's stadium during Southampton's match against Burnley on Sunday. 

Jurgen Klopp is dope and good and cool, and he got even more dope and good and cool when he buried this blindfolded penalty.

You have to be on your toes at all times when you're around Jurgen Klopp. No wonder Liverpool are four for four on penalties this season.

Bob Bradley thinks he’s one of the world’s best managers. So we didn’t expect him to be intimidated by his surroundings when he faced off against Arsène Wenger and Arsenal at the Emirates in his first Premier League match. In the end, Swansea were unlucky not to get a positive result against the Gunners.

Wayne Rooney’s struggles for club and country need no introduction. The perhaps striker, sometimes no. 10 and definitely-not-but-let’s-give-it-a-try midfielder is trying to prolong his days as a soccer boy extraordinaire, but it’s just not coming off at 30 years of age.

His movement looks tired, his touch a bit lumpy and his strengths have been boiled down to a combination of strong concentration levels and nice little layoffs.

Liverpool has followed the examples of Tottenham and Southampton by enforcing a wage cap of £40,000-per-year on 17-year-old youth professionals according to a report by the Telegraph. 

The policy aims to combat the "too much, too young" culture in the Premier League that has seen financial incentives for youth products rise to ridiculous proportions.
