While it’s almosr certain West Ham United wont finish in the top four, and that’s very disappointing considering where they were in the table during April, one must look at those expectations within the proper context.

Last season the Hammers were just able to survive and stay up in the top flight, so entering this term, any kind of European football would be considered a huge accomplishment. The UEL qualification is still there for them, provided they take care of business and get help. The next step is a trip to already relegated West Brom on Wednesday night.

In the words of the immortal poet Tupac Shakur “on this west side, cause you and I know it’s the best side.” Yes, it’s West Wednesday as West Ham United visits West Bromwich Albion, or simply West Ham at West Brom. It’s a clash of one already relegated side hosting a club battling for Europa League qualification.

It looks like the final pair of Champions League positions will be filled by two of Chelsea, Liverpool and Leicester City. That means the left out side will drop into Europa, with West Ham and Tottenham fighting to finish sixth and join them.

It doesn’t get much more dramatic than Liverpool’s Sunday fixture at West Brom.

The Brazilian made history, becoming the first goalkeeper to score via a header in Premier League history.

While it was a big win for the Reds, the work is not done, and there are still two big matches remaining. The first of those comes in midweek, with the Reds final away match of the season at Burnley.

Tottenham continue to be in the hunt for the Champions League spots as they get ready to host Aston Villa on Wednesday. What changes can we expect from Ryan Mason for this game?

Spurs got a hugely important win against Wolves on Sunday to keep pace with Chelsea and Liverpool for that fourth spot. To get there, they will have to win their remaining two matches and hope that other teams lose points. The best bet for the North Londoners would be to settle for the Europa League next season. But before that is decided, Mason and his men will need to get past Villa.

Arsenal will feature in another London derby, just a week after beating Chelsea to complete a double over the Blues. Making the trip across the capital to face Crystal Palace on Wednesday, the Gunners could be without a couple of key players.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer Says Fan Protests Have Adversely Impacted the Team

It was a natural eventuality that the impassioned prolonged protests against the ownership of Manchester United would take their toll on the team. With the protests getting out of hand earlier this month and forcing the cancellation if the home against Liverpool, the fixture had to be rescheduled, and that was an add-on to already congested slate of fixtures.

With United playing three league fixtures in five days this past week, manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was forced to massively rotate his side and pick one match in which he fields an extremely weakened side. Essentially that’s conceding a match, and well, United did in fact lose that one, 2-1 Tuesday night to Leicester City, as they put out a side of kids and reserves.

On May 10th, 2021, Edinson Cavani put pen to paper on a one-year extension with Manchester United. Since arriving at Old Trafford, the 34-year-old has shown that he’s still capable of performing at the top level both domestically and in Europe, and that has served the Red Devils well throughout the 2020-21 season.

Therefore, it’s not outlandish to say that the Uruguayan has truly been the Premier League signing of the season. But how does he compare to other big money big time recruits? Well, let’s delve into the numbers.

Illinois baseball coach Dan Hartleb is closing in on second place on the school’s all-time wins list. With the Illini taking two of three against Iowa this past weekend, he’s now up to 472 total Ws, and that means he needs just three more victories to surpass his mentor, Richard “Itch” Jones, who led the program from 1991-2005.

In 2006, Hartleb assumed the reigns of the Illini, having been the associate head coach for the previous four seasons, and an assistant with the Ilini for nine years prior to assuming that associate coach position. Hartleb, who was named D1Baseball Big Ten Coach of the Decade for 2010s, isn’t too far off fron the number one position either. The penthouse suite, of this list, is currently occupied by Lee Eilbracht (1952-78) with 518 wins. [Read more…]

Conor McGregor’s UFC future currently hangs in the balance after a defining loss against Dustin Poirier in late January. On the night, the Irishman was well beaten after the American landed a series of kicks that left McGregor on crutches as he left Abu Dhabi. For fans of the fighter they call ‘the Notorious,’ it was an image that was hard to comprehend as the 32-year-old had the unrecognizable look of a man that had just been on the losing end of a ferocious fight.
