Owen Hargreaves to Make Reserve Appearance, Holds Hope for World Cup

Manchester United's Owen Hargreaves is set to (finally) make an appearance for the reserves Thursday night v Burnley. It looks as if the Canadian born midfielder has yet to book a summer holiday somewhere warm as he still holds realistic ambitions to be in wintry South Africa with the England squad this summer (from his […]

Crowd Songs at Football Matches Continue to Drive Incredible Atmosphere

As spoiled as we are in America with multiple platforms to view Premier League matches, I get the distinct feeling that HD television viewing, as glorious as it can be, doesn't come close to attending a match in person. Sure it's nice to sit back, relax and watch football from the comfort of your own […]

Premier League Footballer of the Week, Gameweek 30

Affairs remained all hot and heavy at the top of the Barclays Premier League table this weekend as the three title chasers won either emphatically or dramatically. Arsenal refuse to loose, while Chelsea and Manchester United refuse to stop scoring goals as both sides saw three goal margin victories. Strange though that Gameweek 30 saw […]

How Many Football Matches Do You Watch Per Week?

The football supporter is an interesting specie. The sheer amount of time we devote to our passion relegates us to individuals that can be described as borderline obsessive, half psycho, quite anxious and certainly neurotic. Such is the grasp that the beautiful game holds on the strings of our lives that our heads turn and […]

You've fought back and are in the heat of a title race and reaching the last eight in any competition is deserved of accolades, but the most prestigious […]

Damn FA Cup always causing problems! I'll apologize in advance for any supporters of Portsmouth, Birmingham City or Sunderland, those matches take place on Tuesday (with Bolton […]

The Club v Country Debate

He's my hero of sorts, the integral piece of the attacking puzzle to my beloved Manchester United and my (adopted) country of England. He's the bulldog who never gives up, the born leader with enough natural footballing talent to make the recently departed Cristiano Ronaldo raise an eye in disbelief and possibly realize United haven't […]

Mother Nature Picks a Side in Lower League German Football

In a recent post entitled Paul Scholes He Scores,.....Blunders, I asked readers of EPL Talk to leave comments remembering the most odd or freakishly scored goals they'd ever witnessed. The feedback was moderate at best, until my Father of all people recently stumbled upon what has to be the gem of all gems. The Helicopter […]

What Are Your Football Rituals?

Last week EPL Talk asked the question, "Who Do You Watch Football With?" – and for the most part, got the variety of answers we were hoping for. It seems everyone from the "all alone football fan", to the brave pub goers, to a few lucky ones who live with in walking distance of their beloved […]

A Tale of Two Waynes

In ten years time, English football fans will look back in the annals of history and cast villainous or glorious eyes upon someone named Wayne. This pending assignment of fates will depend on the outcome of this summer's World Cup. Wayne Bridge, as unfortunate as it is, has been in the media for all the wrong reasons in recent weeks. […]

Who Do You Watch Football With?

This may apply more to my American brethren than to my English brethren, but as I sit watching football alone for the thousandth time, I wonder if fellow footie friends like myself experience countless hours solely devoting themselves to their passion in an excited state of oneness. In this post I'll attempt to rank (from […]

Why Aren't There More English Footballers Playing Abroad?

I ask myself that question two or three times a year and rarely come up with a discernible answer. Is it the language, the culture, the food? Maybe it's the pop music? Whatever the answer is, I wish it wasn't so. I wish I could see English footballers deputizing or leading an attack for Real Madrid, Barcelona, […]
