It’s no secret that DC United are having a miserable season. This struggle has looked inevitable since preseason when a string of notable players left. First, it was Yamil Asad and Joseph Mora, then Yordy Reyna, then Ramón Ábila. Academy graduate Kevin Paredes (who is eligible for the Dominican Republic) was the next to leave, joining […]
The Championship season is officially over following Nottingham Forest’s victory over Huddersfield Town. Nottingham are back in the Premier League for the first time since 1999, and will join Bournemouth and Fulham in promotion. The fact is, the Premier League is a very difficult league to stay in. Two of the three clubs relegated this
I’ve already written about who newly-promoted Leeds and West Brom need to sign, so now it’s time to analyze Fulham. Fulham earned promotion after finishing fourth in the Championship before winning the playoff. The Cottagers beat Brentford in the final thanks to a brace from wingback Joe Bryan, which means that they have returned to
West Brom have earned promotion back to the Premier League, following a two-year hiatus. The Baggies started the season off strong, but struggled towards the end of the season, claiming just three of twelve possible points in their final four matches.

After the restart of the Premier League I wrote an article about the relegation candidates. You can find that here, but while much of what I predicted ultimately came true, some didn’t. Watford sacked Nigel Pearson with two games remaining in a move that made no sense, and still got relegated. Aston Villa managed to
Well, Brentford have blown it. The team were on an eight-game winning streak, and needed only two points to pass West Brom and achieve automatic promotion. Both matches were against relegation candidates, Stoke City and Barnsley. Brentford lost both, ending its bid to advance without doing more. Now, Brentford are in the promotion playoffs and
After 16 years, English club Leeds United have earned promotion back into the Premier League. The three-time English Champions have fallen as low as the third tier of English football after a financial crisis, but Leeds are back and clinched promotion from England’s second tier, the Championship, after second-placed West Brom lost 2-1 to Huddersfield
