I find myself thinking too much about the negative aspects of the game we all love. This season has not lent itself to a ton of positivity in terms of the teams I support. In terms of the game as a whole, though, things really are looking much more positive. It was a shame how poor [...]

This is the hardest thing I have ever written and I used to do work on multiple-homicide appeals on the regular. So I’m just going to say it (and then rationalize it like crazy): as a Liverpool supporter, I want Manchester United to win the English Premier League title this season. Now if you pause, [...]
