Despite reports of Liverpool agreeing a loan deal with West Ham United for Andy Carroll, the talismanic striker is insistent on resisting the deal and wants a move to Newcastle United instead. While Newcastle is his hometown club, I personally feel he'd be better suited at West Ham where he'd get more playing time and […]

Liverpool has accepted an offer from Fiorentina for Alberto Aquilani. There's no official confirmation from Liverpool yet, and personal terms would still have to be agreed, but it appears that Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has a chance to offload the Italian midfielder. Yet, at the same time, Rodgers has stated how he'd like to give […]

Tottenham manager Andre Villas-Boas is incensed at Liverpool's Charlie Adam for his tough tackle against Gareth Bale in yesterday's friendly. In the 18th minute, Adam came in fromt behind and hit Bale's ankle, causing the young Welshman to receive treatment and then hobble around for the rest of the first half before being substituted at […]

Released by Manchester City, Canadian midfielder Owen Hargreaves is now training with Queens Park Rangers. Whether or not he'll be able to land a permanent deal with Mark Hughes' side, we'll have to wait and see. But it's an interesting development from a gifted footballer who has been hampered by recurring injuries. Here are the […]

West Ham United have made a cheeky bid for Liverpool's Andy Carroll. They've offered to take Andy Carroll on loan for a fee of £2m, with a further £16m added if they avoid relegation. It's a shame that the deal probably won't go through because Andy Carroll would be a great fit for the Hammers, […]

In a new video, several soccer freestylers showcase the new Tottenham Hotspur home and away kits from Under Armour, as they freestyle their way through the crowds of London to White Hart Lane.

When you have the likes of David Silva, Mario Balotelli and Samir Nasri lining up for Manchester City for a free kick, wearing their new Umbro kit, who do you think will shoot the free kick? In this new video from EA Sports, Manchester City plays Arsenal in a 2012 preseason friendly at the Bird's […]

Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany has signed a new six-year contract that will keep him at the league champions until 2018. The news comes not long after manager Roberto Mancini signed a five-year contract. Both new contracts send a loud signal to City fans (and opposition clubs) that Manchester City means business, and that they're […]

Who would have expected that last night's draw between LA Galaxy and Tottenham Hotspur would have created so much controversy? Gareth Bale, the man who was such a centerpiece of the Team GB football Olympic squad, ruled himself out of the team about a month ago with a back and hip injury. But he shoved […]

Tottenham midfielder, and probable future captain, Scott Parker has been ruled out of action for 6 weeks after tearing his achilles tendon. While this will be a blow to Spurs, they do have an abundance of midfielders including Sandro, who should be able to fill in for Parker. Here are today's Premier League news headlines: […]

The news for Arsenal just keeps on getting worse.

The Premier League squad was greeted by approximately 50 fans at Los Angeles airport (LAX), some of whom were singing Tottenham Hotspur chants.

Carlos Tevez looks like he's enjoying being a caddie for the day at the British Open. If the Manchester City striker is having fun, then that's what matters. But personally, I think it's unbecoming of a professional footballer to be a mule for a day. On to Premier League-related news, there's a lot of news […]

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has come out strong in the press with his line that the club will fight to keep Robin van Persie. It's a losing battle, though. The player hasn't been included in the tour of the Far East, and if the right offer comes along, I'm sure Arsenal will take the cash […]
