Colombia and Nice goalkeeper David Ospina will sign with Arsenal on a long term contract, with the transfer fee thought to be in the region of £3m. The official club website confirms that Ospina, 25, will join up with the squad shortly and is expected to make his debut for the club in the Emirates […]

Since he burst controversially into the Stadium of Light dugout, Paolo di Canio has been box office. His knee sliding, air punching celebrations have endeared him to the Sunderland faithful but his latest press conference has placed him on a narrow, treacherous path as we head into the summer transfer window. His public shaming […]

The world has another homosexual professional footballer. Robbie Rogers, the former U.S.A. international and Leeds player has revealed via a well-written statement on his website, that he is gay and that he is now to step away from the game to discover his identity outside of soccer. I wish him all the luck in the […]

Turn on your TV to watch a game anywhere in the world and the chances are that you will soon see the face of an ex-footballer attempting to share his knowledge of the game with you. Except that all too often it appears as though that knowledge, or at the very least the ability to […]

Here are my predictions for today's matches in the Premier League: Wigan Athletic v Arsenal The Gunners are the favorites on paper but their recent struggles don't invite a lot of confidence. Wigan are once again in a fight to avoid relegation but are much better at home than on the road. Arsenal should still […]

This weekend's match at Anfield between Liverpool and Manchester United is important both on and off the field. Brendan Rodgers’ side are still searching for a league win and getting it against their biggest rivals would be a huge catalyst for the club. Meanwhile United are still far from their best and doubtless Alex Ferguson […]

Video: FOX Soccer's Kickoff 2012 | Barclays Premier League After a summer of sport that has spoilt us all, especially those lucky enough to live in the UK and become a part of the Olympics, the start of the football season has somewhat crept up on us. I will be the first to admit that […]

The last few years in the Premier League has seen a new type of character emerge, one that at times has seemingly overtaken the players in terms of importance to the story of the game. It appears that wherever you turn within soccer you are presented with the smiling face of a billionaire promising another […]

In this Internet-fueled world, we are led to believe that we have never been so free. Free to get our information from wherever we want and apparently free to voice our opinions in ways that simply were not possible before the invention of the World Wide Web. This was great news for soccer fans. Now […]

The last few weeks have not been good for the financial side of the beautiful game. We have seen clubs going into administration, others nearly folding and no progress on controlling the wages of top players. Only today Wigan have announced a net loss of £7.2 million and admitted that wages at the club account […]

One of the most depressing things to have emerged from the racism scandal that has threatened to overshadow large parts of the Premier League season is the loyalty blindness that has affected large amounts of fans throughout the league. The boos that rained down on Patrice Evra and Anton Ferdinand were a signal that all […]

Wigan against Blackburn on a cold November afternoon. Normally not a game that would catch my imagination and certainly not one that prior to this weekend I imagined myself writing about come the start of the week. But one incident has really got me thinking about the way that we treat footballers and what we […]

This Sunday sees the two Manchester Clubs collide in what is the biggest match between the two for many a year. With no disrespect to Chelsea and the rest of the chasing pack, this is likely to be a match between this season's top two. And it could very well be the first step in […]

We are all aware of some of the negative views that people have about our great sport. I even have a fair few of my own. But it is important to occasionally pat our sport on the back and remind ourselves that it would not be the biggest sport in the world if it only […]
