Not only do the delve into last weekend’s round of Premier League fixtures — including the Manchester sides’ returns to form, Soldado actually scoring for Spurs and why everyone seems to be picking on Liverpool — and the completion of the […]

blame shifting
There are few common cliches that ring more true than the phrase, “everybody makes mistakes.” We humans are imperfect beings, and our propensity to make mistakes undeniably written into our genetic code. While we can come close to perfection, everyone has their own fatal flaw or skeleton in their closet that helps to level the […]
