Premier League

Everybody, listen up! We have Manchester United boardroom power struggle gossip to pass along!

In a series of Tweets, Manchester United fan organization Red Issue (which we have no idea as to its credibility) laid out what they believe is going down behind the scenes at Old Trafford. 

If this stuff is true, hoo boy. If not, it's still an entertaining fantasy.

RI's MUFC boardroom's political skulduggery guide coming up soon...

Mansfield Town player Adi Yussuf is alleged to have done a thing that would have gotten him on the sex offender list in the United States. 

From the Plymouth Herald:

A fan, who wished to remain anonymous, got in contact with Herald Sport to tell us what they saw.

Sigh. We knew this day would come, we just didn't think it would come so soon. We saw the signs early. You could see Aston Villa losing steam near the end of last season. It looked to be better when it beat Liverpool in the FA Cup, but we're starting to think that was Villa's last burst of energy.

Things have taken a turn for the worse this season. Villa have earned only 16 points so far this season, well below even the other relegation candidates.

Manchester United loanee and soon-to-be-reject Nick Powell admitted that he forgot to watch his parent club's utterly pathetic 2-1 defeat to Midtjylland. According to Powell, he was too immersed in playing FIFA, and completely missed the match. 

John Terry is a dick.

This is not a particularly controversial opinion to have, more of an accepted notion that pretty much everyone on earth who is not a Chelsea supporter believes (and even the Chelsea supporters know this, deep down in the bowels of their consciousnesses.)

Why is John Terry a dick? To borrow a line from the United States Declaration of Independence, we hold this truth to be self-evident. I mean, just look at the guy.

What a fantastic weekend of soccer. So many brilliant goals, so many talking points. We compiled a list of ten of the best moments from the weekend, in no particular order. 

10. Dutch club walks out with lingerie models instead of kids.

Kolo Toure scored the goal of the year in the Premier League. We couldn't believe it either, which is precisely why it's the goal of the year.

Now, remember that we said it's the "goal of the year" not the "best goal of the year." By "goal of the year," we mean the goal that most exemplifies the year in the Premier League. You can look at it a number of ways.

As promised, my predictions for futbal were awful, 0-5…but I nailed the Super Bowl call, I will take it. Enough said about that, on to the top five matches you can’t miss this weekend:

A heartwarming gesture from Everton supporters has seen nine-year-old George Shaw awarded the January Everton Goal of the Month. Shaw trumped the efforts of Aaron Lennon, Kevin Mirallas and Ross Barkley to capture the prize.
