The Special One: Redeemed

After an unlikely final appearance in the UCL last year, not much was going Spurs’ way in the Premier League. Mauricio Pochettino’s tactics were questioned which prompted Spurs’ management to change gears and Mourinho was brought at the helm.

With many highlights including Liverpool’s triumph, Bournemouth’s relegation, Spurs’ season surely cannot be ignored. Spurs’ finished the campaign at 6th place just ahead of Wolves, thanks to the better goal difference.They went into the game needing only to better Wolves’ result at Chelsea and they did so by drawing at Crystal Palace.

Jose Mourinho says 'happiness' has returned to Spurs team after ...

This is in stark contrast to when Mourinho took charge in November. They were placed at 14th place managing a mere 3 wins from 12 games. Tables turned in no time and Mourinho only falls behind the likes of Liverpool, Manchester City and Manchester United in terms of points collected in his 25 game tenure re-emphasizing once again that he is ‘The Special One’.

Spurs go into the next season brimming with confidence and desperate to add some laurels to their empty cabinet.

VAR: Boon or Bane?

Ever since its introduction, VAR has sparked controversies all around the globe. While it was believed before its introduction that it would reduce the human errors and provide the referees a second chance to rectify their mistakes, it now has left us pondering whether technology intervention was required in the first place. The good point is that no foul committed can possibly go unnoticed but the disadvantages are far more with the most disturbing being it stops the flow of the game every now and then and this doesn’t augur well for the beautiful game as the frequent stoppages are disturbing both for the players and the audiences. By this time, we already know there have been a record number of penalties awarded in this season’s Premier League and credit goes to VAR for awarding them without much hesitation. For the first time ever we saw a team score after the final whistle. Yes, you heard that right. Manchester United’ s game against Brighton was completed...

EL CLASICO : PREVIEW

As Camp Nou gets ready to host the first Clasico of the season, both clubs in their own rebuilding phase will look to get one over their arch rivals. Both clubs have had rather inconsistent starts to the season, by their lofty standards. With the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo, this fixture has somewhat lost its glory but the political reasons behind the rivalry will continue to fuel this fixture. FC Barcelona have come from a nightmare season,not winning any trophy and conceding 8 against Bayern Munich. With renewed hope, under Dutch boss Ronald Koeman, they have started pretty poorly in La Liga, winning two of their four matches. Although it is very early in the season, Barcelona are languishing at tenth in the table. With all the behind the scenes drama, they have coped pretty well. Lionel Messi will be their star man as usual. Coutinho has done well on his return to the club. Griezmann hasn’t yet found his feet in Catalonia. All eyes would be on Gerrard Pique, who got a red ca...

Manchester City VS Arsenal : Preview

In recent times, not too often Arsenal have had the upper hand versus Pep’s City. Given City’s inconsistency early on in the season with their solitary win from 3 games coming against Wolves, City are not too high on confidence and have been a poor reflection of themselves from their previous seasons. The loss against Leicester was embarrassing with their defenders leaking out as many as 3 penalties and Pep’s emphasis on improving the defence continuously somewhat seems justified as City spent over 100m euros only on defenders this season. Arsenal on the other hand have looked like a well oiled machine with all their new recruits, Arsenal and Gabriel fitting in the team in no time. Their only loss came against the defending champions, Liverpool. Arsenal will look to carry the momentum from their previous win against Sheffield United. What’s more encouraging for Arsenal is that apart from their club captain and prolific goalscorer being am...
