/ 6037 days agoWelcome Back, Arsenal!
If AZ Alkmaar was a foreshadowing, the Gunners did their best to not heed the warning. Anyone who has watched this team over the past five years knew what was coming, both in the Netherlands and at Upton Park. It's just too predictable. If you expect to lift the Premier League trophy at the […]

It was a statement game. The Premier League has long been a test of consistency more than quality. A feature of the last season-plus has been Liverpool's success against Manchester United, Chelsea, and, to a lesser extent, Arsenal. Sunday's 2-0 Anfield win was the third consecutive against the champions in the league. It was a […]

Life is tough at the top. Last year at this stage of the season, Tottenham were propping up the Premier League table. Coming into this game they actually had a chance to go top with a big win, or at least draw level on points. Instead, Stoke gave them a lesson in defensive tenacity and […]

On a cold and rainy night at the swamps of the Meadowlands, this was the final performance on the soccer side at Giants Stadium. Yes the season has been lost since the middle of June, but that doesn't mean the club can't try to play for pride and knock off Toronto FC from the playoffs. […]

Maybe it was because it looked and felt like Autumn had truly arrived in England (i.e. blame it on the weather), but Saturday's Premier League matches were the first boring day of the season thus far in my opinion. Let's hope Sunday's crop of games will raise the bar a little because Saturday's matches left […]

For two weeks in a row now, glaring penalty calls have been missed in the early Saturday EPL game. Wolves' striker Kevin Doyle was fouled twice, by my count, when through on goal, and last week it was Villa's Agbonlahor who was being tripped in the act of shooting. (Here are the videos for the […]

I have to start this off by saying thank you to the people behind the scenes at uefa.com for moving their subscription video service away from Windows Media and into a Flash-based format.

A lot has been made of Liverpool's recent dip in form with the team looking a shadow of the side that we saw last year. Liverpool lost key personnel most notably in the form of Alonso with his replacement Aquilani yet to take the field in a Liverpool shirt. Key players Fernando Torres and Steven […]
