So it looks as though that’s it for another year for Arsenal. Another trophy-less season. Wenger’s admirable faith in his side may have been slightly misplaced after all. They’re not far away from being winners but not close enough. But does it really matter? You’ll read and hear a lot about how many years it’s […]

Most soccer pundits will claim that Arsenal's title challenge is over after their deserved 2-1 loss against Tottenham Hotspur Wednesday night when they were outclassed by a Spurs side who played more like they wanted to win. But the inconsistency that each of the Big Four clubs has shown this season tells us the Premier […]

I wanna sleep in one of those tents As we find ourselves with four matches left in the season, we're starting to have a pretty clear indication of who's going home with what and who'll be playing where next season. A lack luster, Rooney-less Manchester United could only manage a point away to Blackburn and […]

The mid-week podcast spent last week asking how Red Bull New York had gotten off to such a strong start, but with a surprise weekend loss to Chivas USA, it seemed only fair to redress the conversation. Joining us to do that is Michael Lewis, who covers all things New York soccer for the New […]

A photo has been leaked of Chelsea's new home strip for the 2010-11 season. Designed and manufactured by Adidas, the most notable change to Chelsea's new football kit is the addition of a red trim around the neck. Red has been used on the home shirt in the past, so it's not a radical change. […]

With the North London derby approaching, I want nothing more than for Arsenal to destroy Tottenham and get all three points, just like I do every week no matter who they play. Except, that is, the days that Arsenal is playing Tottenham. I do not have anything against Tottenham or wish the worst for them. […]
