Premier League

Much commotion surrounded the walking out of Liverpool fans in the 77th minute of Liverpool's home match against Sunderland. The walkout protested ticket prices, which have risen to 77 pounds in some main stand seats (hence the timing of the walkout). Borussia Dortmund fans are a lot like Liverpool fans in that they care deeply about their club and also ticket prices (they are also intimately familiar with Jurgen Klopp).

Borussia Dortmund fans planned their own protest of their club's rising ticket prices, but Dortmund's was a little more comical than Liverpool's.

It’s a fact: some people grow facial hair faster than others. At one end of the spectrum you have the guys who don’t shave for weeks at a time and still could look presentable at a business meeting. At then at the other end there’s Zach Galifianakis. (little-known fact: he shaves every single morning*) Most people find themselves hovering somewhere in between. Diego Costa, however, isn’t most people. 

It was a hell of a weekend here at The18. It's almost easy to forget that there was Premier League football what with the orange and blue haze of madness that descended upon the Rocky Mountain region after the Broncos won. Luckily, we didn't get too carried away yesterday. With the help of Ibuprofen, coffee and some much needed water, we compiled this list of the most intriguing events from Premier League Matchday 25. 

5. Everybody's favorite fairytale goes from strength to strength. 

It has now been over a month since Chelsea’s separation from Jose Mourinho, and things are already noticeably better for the team from West London. In fact, Chelsea are unbeaten since Mourinho’s departure and Guus Hiddink’s subsequent hiring as interim manager. 

Wayne Rooney has forged many great partnerships on the field over the years: Ronaldo; Tevez; Berbatov; Van Persie; Van Nistelrooy. But those pale in comparison to his latest partnership: Wayne Rooney and Deadpool.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has said the Premier League should be worried about the increased spending of China in the transfer market. In this last January window, Chinese clubs were responsible for three of the top four biggest deals. 

How much value can be gained in the January transfer window? Well, it all really depends who you ask and the circumstances surrounding any given transfer.

Football pundits, coaches and administrators in Germany and further throughout the continent see spending in January as a sign of weakness that reflects a complete lack of planning from a club.

Liverpool have failed to score a real goal in their last three games, and inevitably, the internet is ramant with speculation as to the cause.

And we think we found it.

We admire Barry Richardson. We admire him for many reasons. It is not easy to become a professional goalkeeper, as Richardson did, playing his last game in 2005. It's not easy to become a professional coach either, which Richardson did, he's currently with Wycombe Wanderers.

Stuart Pearce is a former defender for the England National Team. He is 53 years old. He is, we believe (though we have not sorted through every person) the only person nicknamed "psycho" to ever receive a knighthood.

Here's what we're getting at: Nottingham Forest legend Stuart Pearce MBE, a.k.a. "psycho," is back. He's coming out of retirement for non-league team Longford AFC, which is — according to the BBC — the worst team in all of England.
