Luca Toni departed the Italian league back in 2007 but it looks as if the striker could be leaving current club Bayern Munich pretty soon. Toni was subbed at half-time in the German giant's 1-1 draw with Schalke and reportedly opted to leave the Allianz Arena rather than watch the second-half from the bench with […]

This was one of those Premier League matches that had a draw written all over it that was crying out for just one decent attempt to puncture the dull game. And it finally came three-quarters into the match where John Terry headed the ball into the corner of the net. Yet again, Sir Alex Ferguson […]

It wasn't the prettiest of games, but it was enjoyable to watch. Reminiscent of old-style English football with plenty of balls kicked high and long, Hull City pulled off a last gasp winner to beat Stoke City 2-1 and to give manager Phil Brown a chance of remaining as manager of the Tigers just for […]

Following up from an earlier article I'd like to pose a question to all the non ex-pat North American readers of EPL Talk: How Did You Find Who You Support? It's ultimately a broad question that has more potential answers to it than current injury concerns at Liverpool. But I believe the question sparks an […]

As you know, EPL Talk focuses on the Premier League and not the lower leagues of England, but my day didn't start so well when Setanta-i had technical problems which prevented me and all other Setanta-i customers from viewing the Welsh derby featuring the club I've supported all my life, Swansea City, against Cardiff City. […]

So... to review... for Liverpool to qualify for the Champions League round of sixteen one of the following scenarios needs to occur: 1.) Liverpool beat Debrecen AND Lyon beat Fiorentina AND Liverpool beat Fiorentina. 2.) Liverpool beat Debrecen AND Lyon draw with Fiorentina AND Liverpool beat Fiorentina by at least three goals. 3.) Liverpool beat […]

The agent of Andrea Dossena has released a statement denying that the player is in talks with Napoli ahead of a potential return to Serie A in the January transfer window. The Italian international has struggled to settle in the Premier League following his £7m transfer from Udinese in the summer of 2008 and has […]

Without a doubt, Sunday's game between Chelsea and Manchester United is the biggest of the season between the two clubs who have the best chance to win the Premier League title this season (sorry Arsenal fans). So, it's no wonder that so much importance is being placed on this game. Not that who wins will […]

I'm leaving on Monday for a trip to Las Vegas for a search marketing conference, so I want to wrap up the EPL Talk contests before I leave in order to mail the packages and to make some football fans very happy. So today, if you're lucky enough to be reading this, you have the […]

This season has not started the best for Everton, so far they have been unable to recapture the form they showed last season in the league and sit a lowly 13th. Couple this with two heavy defeats and the hands of Benfica in the Europa league and things aren't looking so rosy for David Moyes […]

Jason Kreis and RSL are the most frustrating duo in MLS. Former listeners to the American Soccer Show on CSRN will know that I have a soft spot for the club, not because of any geographic tie, but because of the presence of former Miami Fusion players up and down the organization, starting with GM […]

Traditional terrace tipplers still mouthing up their marmite at the news that Newcastle's St. James' Park will henceforth be known as sportsdirect.com@St. James' Park Stadium will be further aghast to learn that Chelsea would consider cashing in on Stamford Bridge. We are not too far off from Ethan Armstrong's vision here at EPL Talk of sponsored songs and […]

With the confusing TV schedules for La Liga in the United States every week, it is quite difficult to figure out who is playing when and on what channel. Every Friday, I will lay out the TV schedule so that every fan of La Liga has a place to go to see when and where […]

Here are the video highlights for the very first season of the Premier League, 1992-93.
