Christian Pulisic might have a WWE backup career after a great body slam on David de Gea

Christian Pulisic got his first meaningful minutes in the Premier League since April 15 on Thursday during Chelsea’s 4-1 defeat to Manchester United. Other than Pulisic falling on David de Gea there wasn’t too much to report from the American.

Revisiting The18’s awful Premier League 2022-23 predictions — wow how wrong we were

In July 2022 the great minds working at The18 put their heads together and tried to predict how the 2022-23 Premier League season would unfold. Looking back at our EPL predictions 10 months later we got a couple things right and several things very, very wrong.

After laughing at some poor guy in the gym, Mudryk is quickly served poetic justice

On the one hand, Mykhaylo Mudryk deserves sympathy. The 22-year-old has only played 15 Premier League games (for a completely dysfunctional team) and deserves much more patience (which he'll get because he cost $107 million) despite failing to score a goal for Chelsea.

On the other hand, Mudryk deserves zero sympathy — at least for one day — after committing the cardinal sin of gym-goers everywhere: mocking someone for trying to make themselves better, indiscreetly filming them and posting it online to millions of eye balls.

Record-breaking striker and Premier League champion Erling Haaland brings the random internet moment of the day after posting on Instagram about how much he loves his new sneakers: a pair of Nike SB Dunks made in collaboration with Jarritos.

Yep, that delicious and radioactive-colored Mexican soda you drink while you stuff your mouth with burritos and tortas.

Oh man, I want one now.

Luton's crumbling Kenilworth Road is one win from the Premier League

LUTON, England - Opinions of Luton Town's Kenilworth Road stadium run the gamut from charming and cosy to a ramshackle dump, but the club's former manager John Still believes it could be one of the team's most potent weapons if they reach the Premier League next season.
