Youth Team Gets Blasted By A Rogue Sprinkler, Triggering Chaos

Here it is, the most fitting visual representation of Monday you’ll ever find. Friday was all smiles, cheers and waves (especially if you just touched down in Nashville to celebrate a bachelor party), and then Monday violently appeared only moments later — blasting you in the face with a jet stream of tepid sewage water. 

You were lost in the sauce, but now it’s time to wake up and reap what’ve you’ve sown. Monday's coming in hot. 

Manchester City Still Best In England After 3-1 Win Over Tottenham

Manchester City’s season took a blow with defeat to Liverpool in the Champions League on Tuesday. Combined with the second-half collapse to rival Manchester United last weekend, things were about as dismal as they could be for a team with a 13-point lead in the Premier League.

How Jorge Mendes Single-Handedly Got Wolves Promoted

Wolverhampton Wanderers were in League One almost four years ago. Fast forward to today, and they are on the verge of securing a return to the Premier League. How did a club, which was relegated from the Premier League (2011-12 season) and the Championship (2012-13 season) in consecutive years, manage to steady the ship and get itself back on track?

Why Is British Football Full Of Luddites?

What’s a Luddite’s favorite band? Rage Against The Machine. What’s a Luddite’s favorite football league? The English Premier League. 

The 20 English Premier League clubs decided against adding a VAR next season in a league vote on Friday. Instead, the league issued a statement saying it would continue testing Premier League VAR. 

Was Man City’s Goal Correctly Disallowed For Offside?

Manchester City thought it had scored a second goal late in the first half against Liverpool, a goal that would have put the Citizens up 2-0 and two thirds of the way to erasing the 3-0 defeat from the first leg of their Champions League quarterfinal. But the referees thought otherwise and the disallowed Manchester City goal was a defining moment of the first half.

A Definitive List Of Everything Harry Kane Has Sworn On His Daughter's Life About

Harry Kane swears on his daughter's life that Christian Eriksen's second goal in Spurs' 2-1 victory over Stoke at the weekend brushed his shoulder before it went in the goal, and should therefore be awarded to him, Harry Kane. Obviously the man has not given up on catching Mo Salah for the Golden Boot just yet.

This is an actual thing that Harry Kane said out loud:

No Famous Sports Team Owner Has Done It Better Than Sir Elton John

Will Ferrell, Mindy Kaling, Magic Johnson, David Beckham, Justin Timberlake, Jay-Z, et al. Take some notes. Sir Elton John's success with Watford is the bar against which each famous sports team owner should be judged. 

If you're taking in a Watford game at Vicarage Road, you might end up sitting in the Sir Elton John Stand. It's not named to merely celebrate its most famous fan. Rather, John earned that honor by lifting his boyhood club from the depths of the fourth division to the top of the English football pyramid.
