Since this weekend features the semi-finals of the FA Cup, I thought it'd be interesting to take a trip down memory lane to see what a FA Cup semi-final from 1982 was like featuring two teams that in today's age would seem like unlikely participants at this stage in the tournament. Queens Park Rangers played […]

Burnley's survival in the Premier League this season is hanging on by a thread, but they did have time last week to unveil their new football kit for the 2010-11 season which is their 100 year centenary year. Whether they'll be in the Premier League is another story which we'll find out in the next […]

Real Madrid and Barcelona's matches in La Liga this season have almost had the feeling of high-level training sessions. A few surprises sprinkled throughout, but the inevitability of the best team in the world and the most expensive team in the world deciding the championship arrives on Saturday night. Barcelona will come off a heavenly […]

Bolton Wanderers unveiled their new home football kit for the 2010-11 season last week. It's a dramatic improvement from the shirt designs they've worn during the last two years.

It's FA Cup semi-final weekend which means that for three teams the Premier League will cease to matter, at least for a few hours. Of course for Portsmouth the Premier League ceased to matter some time ago and as such, any manager who still has Pompey players in their side will likely be going the […]

With all of the Premier League clubs now knocked out of the Champions League – and Liverpool and Fulham's stays in the Europa League are still up in the air at press time – all eyes now focus on the two remaining pieces of silverware to be won this season. The FA Cup and the Barclays […]

But he is the most honest.

I'm more confused than anything else. In my last post I asked that we maintain the good form, no matter what the outcome of the season. I should have added we must cling to clear-headed decision making from now to the end. The last two outings for Liverpool were derailed by bad judgement by Ryan […]

ESPN has been patient throughout this entire 2009-2010 Premier League season in regards to which matches they've been able to televise live on ESPN2. For the vast majority of games, they were B- level or C-level Premier League matches. But finally after their recent record-breaking Manchester United against Chelsea broadcast, they finally got a massive […]

In the coming days there will be much wailing and gnashing of teeth about the fact that the Premier League, for the first time in seven years, has no teams in the semi-final of the Champions League.
