Jose Mourinho has left Chelsea by mutual consent. Don’t worry, you haven’t accidentally opened an article from 2007, it’s just happened again. The Portuguese’s departure isn’t all that surprising considering how the season has gone, and one man who will know how to deal with losing The Special One is midfielder John Obi Mikel. Mourinho […]

Understandably, some Blues fans have […]

Manchester United’s attacking woes have been well-documented this season.

Conor McGregor’s win over Jose Aldo didn’t just take 13 seconds, but months upon months of training. While it can be easy for us to look at the fight as an individual event and break down how much money McGregor made per second of the fight, there was much more behind his win. One person […]

Few could have predicted Conor McGregor’s 13-second win over Jose Aldo, that is except for Mystic Mac himself.

Is there anything better than a goalkeeper scoring? No matter the context, we just love seeing a keeper turn the tables and become the shot-taker instead of shot-stopper for once.
