In my on going attempts to unite football supporters across the world, I want to shed some light on some ridiculous stereotypes that seem to follow certain groups of football fans quite unfairly. If you're like me, you spend countless hours searching the web for news stories, discussion, debate and opinion. In addition to web […]

It's been a tough week for alot people around the world. First, the shocking attack on the Togo international football team in Angola and most recently, a devastating earthquake in Haiti where more than 100,000 people are feared dead. Haitian-American Jozy Altidore who applies his trade with Hull City FC was hit especially hard. Altidore made […]

It seems the sky has fallen at Old Trafford as of late, supporters are beginning to wonder where the goals will come from as their beloved surge down the stretch in second place with teams on either side of them each having a game in hand. Every new day brings sour news of financial woes as an oddly […]

If you've been a supporter of the Premier League for just a few months, or, since it's inception in 1992, you're sure to have one thing in common: you've definitely seen some incredible goals. There's been hundreds over the past 18 years and ultimately too many great ones to count. So, to cap off that […]

A week after Manchester United's shock FA Cup exit, Sir Alex Ferguson fielded a side with immense respect for Birmingham City's Alex McCleish at St. Andrews. A match that was 1 of only 2 to survive the inclement weather on Saturday saw a 4-5-1 with Wayne Rooney in a lone striker role supported by Ji-sung […]

Call me a naive American, but how capable are the United Kingdom and football officials in coping with extreme weather conditions? Most Yank readers of EPL Talk will know that when extreme weather hits the States, the process to clear roads, sidewalks and major interstates immediately begin (and usually with quick results). In what now seems to […]

If you've followed EPL Talk over the past week or so, you'll have seen reports on the possibility of Owen Coyle leaving current club Burnley and taking over at Premier League rivals Bolton. The story has been covered daily since it broke everywhere from The Telegraph to The Guardian, but I recently read an interesting post […]

Attempting to shift the blame from his players poor performances, Fergie has yet again critized a match official. Ferguson's team selection not as weak as you may think. Sir Alex has come out yet again and criticized a refereeing decision when his players performances were ultimately to blame in Manchester United's 0-1 shock loss to Leeds United […]

A new decade, a new year, and 10 players I'll be keeping a watchful eye on for one reason or another in 2010. We all know Drogba, Rooney, Torres, Defoe and the lot will get their 20+ goals and single handily place their teammates on their shoulders and march onwards. But what about the role […]

It was the 10th day of March, 2004. The setting was the Theatre of Dreams, Old Trafford. Costinha had just equalized in stoppage time for FC Porto thus knocking out Manchester United of the Champions League and advancing to the final eight in Europe's most coveted club competition. Enter Porto boss Jose Mario dos Santos […]

Wayne Rooney: husband, father, footballer, striker, play-maker, defender, captain, international, the list could really go on, was involved in all four goals (Manchester United only had 3) Sunday as the reigning champions not-so-impressively beat relegation applicants Hull City at the KC Stadium. It was a performance United fans are reluctantly getting used to this season […]

As we approach the end of a decade which has seen the popularity of world football and the Premier League increase ten-fold, we look back upon what an incredible past ten years it's been with appreciation and maybe even a little bit of nostalgia. As I'm sure we'll say again in ten years time, the Noughties have been an incredibly important decade for the […]

I sat utterly bemused Saturday as I watched Manchester United altogether inept in front of goal away to their current bogey ground, Craven Cottage. Manchester United lost their second out of the last three matches and fifth league match of the year to Fulham 3-0, a scoreline that flatters the current champions as it could […]

There's been a lot of chatter here recently on EPL Talk about different cultures, stereotypes (good or bad), likes and dislikes, etc. Since it's all opinion in the end, let's see if we can't spread a little love 'round these here parts, if not for your fellow man, then for none other than the spirit […]

I'd like to open up a bit of good old fashioned debate here on EPL Talk concerning the recent exploits of one Mick McCarthy. Tuesday night at Old Trafford saw Manchester United draw level on points with league leaders Chelsea with a 3-0 victory against Wolverhampton Wanderers. You might be thinking, "that doesn't sound out […]
