We Must Appreciate David Silva While We Still Can

It was almost a decade ago that David Silva was on the verge of making his way to Real Madrid from Valencia. Real president Florentino Perez went straight to the tunnel after a match between his side and Valencia, looking to speak with the player and likely drop a not-so-casual hint the Spanish playmaker should make the move to the capital in the upcoming window. In the end, he made the move to the blue side of Manchester, coached by Roberto Mancini, and boy did that turn out to be one heck of a move for City.

Wolves Fans Give Patrick Cutrone World's Strangest Chant

Twenty-one-year-old Patrick Cutrone joined Wolverhampton this past summer from AC Milan. The Italian striker has appeared in five competitive matches for the EPL side for a total of 113 minutes, but Wolves fans already have a Patrick Cutrone chant picked out for him.

And it's, well, not necessarily good.

Look At The Swerve On This Pinpoint Harry Wilson Free Kick

Manchester City kept pace with Liverpool at the top of the Premier League table with a 3-1 victory over Bournemouth on Sunday morning, but the Citizens were made to work for all three points. Sergio Agüero and Raheem Sterling had given City a 2-0 lead by the 43rd minute, but just before the halftime whistle Harry Wilson struck this marvelous free kick to pull the Cherries back into the match.

Man Utd (Momentarily) Twitter Trolls Chelsea, Blows Up In Their Face

Manchester United suffered its first loss of the season on Saturday to Crystal Palace, which notched its first win of the new season. 

The defeat at home would not have been as embarrassing if the @ManUtd Twitter account did not play with fire ahead of the match.

Before the game, the club tweeted out this shot at Chelsea.

No One’s Surprised Liverpool Won Easy, But Arsenal Managed To End One Epic Streak

Liverpool defeated Arsenal 3-1 in an early first-vs.-second Premier League battle on Saturday at Anfield. The final result wasn’t really a surprise for anyone who has paid attention to the Premier League the last few years, even if the Gunners had looked improved in their first two matches of the season. 

But Arsenal did manage to end one of the most impressive stats in the Premier League.

Goalkeeping Errors And Missed PKs: Man Utd Frustrates Again

Manchester United had, perhaps, the most impressive opening weekend of any Premier League club, routing Chelsea 4-0. Since then, it’s been one frustration after another.

The Red Devils were held to a draw on Monday after Paul Pogba missed a penalty kick. On Saturday, United again missed a penalty and David De Gea made another baffling mistake as Crystal Palace beat Manchester United in the top flight for the first time since 1991. 

Facial Recognition Was Almost Brought To The Premier League

The privacy of some fans in England was at stake for fans in England this year in the Premier League. Manchester City was set to trial facial-recognition software in collaboration with Blink Identity, but the club said Tuesday it would not bring the technology to Etihad Stadium. Brondby had already introduced the technology and City was set to follow before a wave of backlash.

Phil Neville’s Solution For Racism In England Is Laughable

Paul Pogba was targeted on Twitter by racist assholes after he missed a penalty kick for Manchester United on Monday, the third player to receive similar abuse in the past week in England. On Wednesday, it was Chelsea’s Tammy Abraham; on Sunday it was Reading’s Yakou Méïté. 

It’s disgusting and heartbreaking — it needs to stop.

But Phil Neville’s plan isn’t going to solve anything.
