You can't criticize the Premier League for one thing, and that's a lack of goals. The opening two weekends of the 2010-11 Premier League season have seen a cascade of goals flying into the back of the net. And it hasn't just been Chelsea and Arsenal getting in on the act. Even Blackpool and Newcastle […]

Sunday's Bundesliga matches saw Mainz host a Sami Khedira-less Stuttgart, and Bayer Leverkusen travel to Borussia Dortmund. Mainz, rather shockingly, dismissed Stuttgart by a scoreline of two goals to nil, which will not come as a welcome sign to the Stuttgart faithful who have failed to reinforce after losing both Aliaksandr Hleb and Sami Khedira […]

Chelsea weren't always the glamor club that they are today. In the late 70s and early 80s, they were the scourge of English football thanks to their hooligans who terrorized trains, city centres and stadiums around the country. They weren't the only troublemakers, but they were often the most feared. Searching through YouTube, I found […]

So William Gallas joins a very rare club indeed of players that have swapped Arsenal for Tottenham. I was stating the same to a friend the other day that I can't remember it happening in my lifetime as a Spurs fan, for me it's unique. I've seen it happen the other way twice, Pat Jennings […]

Hi. My name is Guy and I’m a Fantasy Premier League junkie. I haven’t looked at a form chart in 14 days (polite applause). How did it all start, my falling into the dementia of Fantasy Premier League? I was minding my own business….really. I had a subscription to ITVN (whoa….flashback!), which I had gotten […]

United States coach Bob Bradley was interviewed this weekend on BBC's Sportsweek radio program where he reconfirmed that he is still interested in the vacant Aston Villa manager position. No new news there except for the respect he has for the way that Aston Villa is managing the recruitment process in light of Kevin MacDonald […]

In 2005-2006, Napoli was looking to escape dire finances and Serie C1. In 2010-2011, Napoli can credibly claim that it is competing for a Champions League berth. The Partenopei led by their president Aurelio De Laurentiis have been slowly built up and well managed to the point where last season they qualified for their their […]

Kaiserslautern romped to a 3-1 away win as they opened their Bundesliga season against FC Koln on Saturday. Just two years earlier, the club narrowly escaped relegation to Germany's third division after a horrendous start to the 2007-2008 season, where the club managed just three victories in nineteen league matches. In the summer of 2008, […]

Saturday's Bundesliga matches saw Gladbach take on Nurnberg, Koln host Kaiserslautern, Frankfurt travel to Hannover, Freiburg battle St. Pauli, Hoffenheim host Werder Bremen, and Schalke travel to Hamburg. Gladbach opened the day against relegation play-off winners Nurnberg, who defensive stability earned them a point in this match. Nurnberg opened the scoring through midfielder Jens Hegeler, […]

AC Milan didn't exactly have a disappointing season, they just didn't achieve much. And while the team is full of very old players (remember Oddo?), there is a project in place, this project starts with Allegri, a new, relatively young, and attacking coach. While maybe this upcoming season might not be the best for the […]

Everyone knows when you travel up to Toronto, Ontario, Canada you will have a tough time earning any form of points against this Toronto FC side at their fortress called BMO Field. The challenge for the Red Bulls was to try and get at least a point against Canada's top Division I side. Well within […]

Stoke City lost a hard fought match on Saturday at home to Tottenham as yet more controversy surfaces concerning goal-line technology. Spurs went up in the first half thanks to a bundled goal off the face of Gareth Bale before Ricardo Fuller equalized for Stoke City after showing his well-timed striker's instinct. Bale again scored, […]

Huang Abandons Liverpool Bid Kenny Huang has abandoned his bid to take over Liverpool FC on behalf of Chinese sports investment firm QSL, a source told The Guardian. Huang was long considered the only viable contender to take over the debt-riddled club. Huang's withdrawal is rumored to be because of frustrations with the pace of […]

Sometimes I'm proud to be British. But other times, I'm ashamed. After watching a documentary series on YouTube entitled "Hooligans Untold Story," an investigative look inside the world of England football hooligans by the renowned team from BBC's Panorama, I was very ashamed especially since the footage was only a few years ago, from 2006.
