Many consider the Premier League to be the best football league in the world. With teams like Manchester United, Manchester City, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and Tottenham, there has never been a shortage of talent on display in England's top flight. Throughout the years we’ve been witness to plenty of controversial moments involving players such as […]

Doctor Who used to be a cult TV show. In America, the Doctor, Tardis, Daleks and assorted characters were adored by small groups of people throughout the 1970's through 90's. The science fiction nerds would seek out the shows on PBS. And when they couldn't get enough, they'd trade tapes of other episodes, read the […]

“It’s too boring.” “There’s never any scoring.” “They’re all pansies.” “They’re always rolling around on the ground pretending to be hurt.” These seem to be the standard arguments I get from my American football loving friends and acquaintances whenever soccer is brought up, or showing on TV. I would say that these could be valid […]

A photo of the new Nike soccer ball for the 2013-14 Premier League season has been leaked on the Internet. The grainy leaked photo pictured above shows the Nike Incyte official match ball with its original design. The one thing that jumps out at me is the bright orange Nike swoosh. In previous editions of […]

Premier League's impact on tourism has been written about today in The Guardian, who explain that almost one million soccer supporters traveled to Britain last year. According to the report, more than 60,000 alone came from the United States. It makes for interesting reading as do many of the Premier League-related stories today: 900,000 football […]

Ask Americans why they don't watch soccer, and chances are that most of them will argue that soccer is boring and that there's not enough scoring in the game. Dig a little deeper, however, and you may be surprised by what you find. Reddit user Rolldog did some research after one of his friends got into […]

A few months ago I wrote an article listing reasons why NBA fans, with the then impending and thankfully short lockout of the NBA season, should get into soccer. After a rollercoaster season in the EPL which saw Manchester City, rivals of Manchester United, finally bring home a title after 40+ years, after seeing Real […]

One thing people cannot contest is the impact the Premier League has had all over the world. The Premier League is undoubtedly the most popular league in the world. It is estimated that the Premier League is broadcast to 600+ million viewers in over 200 countries. It is no secret that its influence is immense. […]

I am in a favor of the 39th game (audible gasp). By that I don't mean each team should play an extra round of fixtures tagged on somewhere in an already congested season that would ultimately imbalance the entire league structure and everything we hold dear about equality, fairness and the unbiased (cough) nature of […]

Starting today, the Premier League added a watermark in the bottom right corner of many of its TV and Internet broadcasts (see above example). Adding the Premier League logo is certainly a move by the league to protect its copyright and prevent pubs in the United Kingdom from using its footage without permission. The move […]

We all know that Premier League football is far more than the 90 minutes our favorite team plays each weekend. Throughout the week there's plenty of programming, on television, the Internet and radio, to keep us informed and entertained about our passion. But what if, for a minute, you could pick and choose your dream […]

Over the last two weeks it’s hard to look beyond the results of Manchester United who secured two very impressive away wins, but let’s not forget Wigan, who have also had a great few days. A few weeks ago United were struggling in the APL as they were winning, but not winning well. They were […]
