There has been so much talk about the 2008/2009 Premier League season being one of the most exciting in years, but that dream is over. After a heroic start to the season, Hull City could be relegated by May. Manchester United are seven points clear at the top of the table and seem invincible. Aston […]

Man United's new home shirt for the 2009/2010 season will be red with a white 'V' on the front, designed and manufactured by Nike. Pictured above, the shirt is a tribute to the Manchester United shirt worn in the 1909 FA Cup Final which United won. Albeit the shirt design is a reverse of what […]

It feels too early to be having a cup final, but this Sunday Manchester United will take on Tottenham Hotspur in the Carling Cup Final at Wembley. There's good news and bad news for United. Bad news, Rafael da Silva is out for a month with an ankle injury. Good news. Spurs keeper Carlo Cudicini […]

Well ladies and gentleman, this is what I have been hoping for a good while now. A better tournament and an expansion from a cup into a league format along with the away goals rule. Finally Jack Warner along with the rest of his group in the offices of CONCACAF got it right. Even though […]

So Arsenal's half-year finances are out and in all fairness, for being in a recession, they did pretty damn good. When you generate more match day revenue (an increase of 3.3 million to 44.4 million pounds), more television revenue (an increase of 4.5 million to 28.9 million pounds), and end up with a bigger pre-tax […]

Earlier today the Houston Dynamo announced they would be signing a player to the squad tomorrow, in a World Soccer Wrap/MLS Talk exclusive, we have learned that the signing will be goalkeeper Tyler Deric. Deric is a native of Spring, Texas, a suburb of Houston, a graduate of Klein High School, and has been a […]

You may have heard that football is about striving for glory, trying your best to win whatever the circumstances, and pleasing the fans by giving it your all each and every fixture. If you heard that, the person you heard it from is a liar. Instead, as Aston Villa's surrender to CSKA Moscow in the […]

It was a pretty good week for the Bundesliga in European competitions. Let's start with the disappointing. Wolfsburg followed a 2-0 road loss with a 1-3 loss at the VW to PSG of France. While PSG has been a self-imploding team over the previous two campaigns, contending with relegation both seasons, this year they have […]

After getting the nod from The Gaffer to start posting on La Liga Talk, I was in search of the first article I'd sink my teeth into. Drugs? Football Players? FIFA Agents? 600 pounds of blow? Oh come on now, this can't be real? Today in Spain, eleven people were arrested, five of which make […]

The question I am posing is looking purely at what the UEFA Cup means to clubs from the English Premier League. Judging by recent participants and how they have fared, it appears to feature very low on most Premiership clubs’ list of priorities. Before the profile of the European Cup was sufficiently raised and rebranded […]

Frankfurt’s "Saboteurs" Eintracht Frankfurt did not exactly bring Fireworks to the game in Karlsruhe this past weekend, at least not on the field. There were plenty of Fireworks in the visitors section of the Wildpark Stadion from the Frankfurt Fans however and the match was almost called off by Referee Michael Weiner. This […]

Here are some of my favorite football stories from the day that you may have missed: "Your Chants To Help Charity" (Man United Official Website). In addition to Carling allowing fans to create their own banners for the pitch-side advertising for this Sunday's final, Carling has now come up a new, unique idea. Along with […]

Is it or isn't it? That's the question regarding the recently leaked photographs of the alleged new England home shirt. Umbro says it's fake, but I'm still not 100% convinced. And now, there's a new piece of evidence that casts doubt on Umbro's story. Last week, Umbro unveiled its newest version of its logo — […]

In front of over 55,000 at Olympic Stadium, the Montreal Impact of USL-1 worked off some of the side's substantial preseason rust and were victorious 2-0 over Santos Laguna. Despite the victory which gives the Impact an excellent chance of advancing from the two leg tie, Montreal looked like a team playing in its preseason […]

I'm happy Guus is not as thrilled about Chelsea's 1-0 win as I am. A bit of a side bar before I get into the news tonight. Chelsea are extremely lucky they are a goal to the good heading into their Champions League second leg. For starters, I don't believe Didier Drogba's goal should have […]
