Earlier this month, exclusive members of EPL Talk Pro received the first part of a new audio documentary series that was entitled Detailing The Pyramid. Parts two and three are in the works, but we thought we'd give EPL Talk readers a taste of what you're missing. Thus, we present to you, as a special […]

Last week Adel Taarabt won the Championship Player of the Year at The Football League Awards underlining the remarkable change in fortunes for the player, who left Tottenham in the summer. The young striker arrived at Loftus Road with a damaged reputation as a talented yet temperamental character with buckets of unfulfilled potential. This lead […]

I will be the first to admit that my proximity to RFK Stadium may color my biases a little bit. But after seeing DC United's press release on their latest friendly, I have to be impressed with this club. Despite playing in less than stellar facilities and finishing last in MLS last season, the club […]

Now that we're on an international break for the next couple of weeks before we see more Premier League action, I wanted to take this time to bring you up-to-speed regarding several important updates. First, on Thursday, we'll be publishing an exclusive interview with Chelsea (and now England) captain John Terry on EPL Talk. The one-on-one […]

Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho has announced that his next job will be in England. And he is hoping to form a dynasty at whichever club he takes over rather than the shorter stints he has been known for throughout his career. Mourinho also went on to say that Real Madrid is the “most difficult […]

Everton will return to the United States for a preseason tour this summer. The Toffees will play a friendly against D.C. United on Saturday, July 23 at RFK Stadium in Washington DC. It'll be the first time Everton will be revisiting North America since their last tour in the summer of 2009 when they played […]

Last week saw The Football League Awards 2011 take place in London celebrating the achievements both on and off the pitch of the 72 clubs that comprise the football league. The headline winners of the evening from the evening where Adel Taarabt and Conor Wickham with the later winning two awards highlighting just how quickly […]

As a Brit and Newcastle United supporter, I must give credit for this piece to one of our readers, ‘Clampdown’. In the article on our sister site MLS Talk about how The Guardian dismisses Major League Soccer as not a big league, I liked the premise that Clampdown suggested. He recommended I should write a […]

Milan remain on top of Serie A yet their hold has become more tenuous than ever with city rivals Inter lurking just two points behind. The Rossoneri have some of the league's most talented individuals such as Robinho, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Antonio Cassano, but along with that talents comes a lot of baggage and unpredictability. […]

As a relative newcomer to soccer and, being a Tottenham fan, I must say that I have immensely enjoyed the past couple of years. Last year saw Spurs squeak past Manchester City to take fourth place and a Champions League spot. And the late April match that ultimately decided it all was the most thrilling one […]

Just like the bottom of the Premier League (which became even more congested this week), the top of the Championship presents a tangled mess of possibilities. With two automatic promotion spots on the line and playoffs for the next four, no one seems to want to grab hold of a position. Every time it seems […]

As our owner and head honcho The Gaffer highlighted last week, The Guardian podcast snubbed MLS deeming it not a ‘Major league’. Quite ironic for the satirist's amongst you given it’s name but that’s irrelevant. Now before I reel of a list of reasons, let me state this as de facto. I like Major League […]

MLS could not have asked for a better opening weekend of soccer than this weekend. After a somewhat pedestrian first match between the Galaxy and Sounders, there were a ton of story lines to follow in this weekend's games. While it may be a lot to ask for every weekend to be this exciting (although […]

First, let me start by commending Edwin Van der Sar on a long and illustrious career. Coming through the ranks at Ajax, he won countless number of trophies including the Champions League during the very successful 1990s Louis van Gaal years. Moving to Juventus he won the UEFA Intertoto Cup and repeated that feat at […]

Editor's note: MLS Talk blogger Kristan Heneage had the fortunate opportunity of speaking to rising star Dax McCarty last week before the season began. Here is the transcript of the interview: Kristan Heneage (KH): You were drafted around November, albeit briefly to Portland Timbers. What was your gut instinct regarding that deal? Were you pleased […]
