Is England Or Spain Better In Champions League Football?

For at least a decade or two, England and Spain have been home to the two best soccer leagues in the world. La Liga and Premier League clubs have consistently been the two most competitive in the Champions League since the rebranding of the tournament for the 1992-93 season.

West Brom is in a lot of trouble. The club is bottom of the Premier League, seven points from safety. But Alan Pardew and his boys are turning things around.

Watch Liverpool Players Try To Train Some Good Dogs

Of course Alberto Moreno is the best Liverpool player at training dogs. Alberto Moreno is like if a dog was a person.

Chelsea Fans Are The Most Cruel People You’ll Meet On Twitter

It was a harmless tweet — maybe even a funny one. Before Chelsea’s Premier League match with West Brom on Monday, the Blues’ Twitter handle (@ChelseaFC) made a Star Wars joke centered around one of the space opera’s most lovable characters. But the Chelsea Twitter fans were having none of it.
