Fernando Torres has titillated the Anfield crowd with thirty goals this season, but–due to recent revelations about the club’s finances–banks may cut his Merseyside career short. Liverpool borrowed £31.5m last summer to purchase Torres and winger Ryan Babel, unusual since most Premier League clubs use TV revenue cash to cover transfers. The club took out […]

You just knew it was coming, didn't you? Anyone watching the last 25-30 minutes of the Blackburn-Manchester United game today just knew that the Red Devils were going to pull some magic out of the hat. Brad Friedel made several outstanding saves to keep Rovers ahead, but they only delayed the inevitable. United were huffing […]

Here's a trailer for the new show: [display_podcast] The first episode will be broadcast on Monday, May 19 on Sky Sports 1. In the show, Cesc will be taking the audience […]

The EPL Talk Podcast returns this weekend with an exclusive interview with an executive from Setanta Sports to discuss soccer coverage in North America and how soon we can see the network on cable as well as the programming changes we can look forward to next season. That episode will be available via iTunes by […]

It's no secret that the Prince of Darkness, Avram Grant, is not a pleasant man to talk to. He's a guy who wears all black all the time, and when Chelsea plays during the day, I'm surprised that he even comes out of the dark tunnel to manage. He has no personality whatsoever. None. Zero. […]

With five match days left and 15 points to play for, have you looked at the table lately? Fans hear or read the word relegation and surely visualize three, yet looking at the current Serie A table that number should be ten. More... There is a log-jam of teams below and even Napoli in 9th […]

Watching the recent Sky Sports interview with Tom Hicks, the first word that jumped into my mind after listening to the first two minutes was greed. Hicks talks about the poor results Liverpool CEO Rick Parry has achieved with sponsorships, in Asia, the stadium and how the team has fallen behind the other top clubs. […]

Setanta Sports is now available via another source other than DirecTV and DISH Network. It's a little known company named GEK TV, who is offering the Setanta channel via their set top box (similar to the IPTV technology used by the now defunct ITVN). GEK TV caters to the Asian market in the United States […]

Real Madrid announced on Thursday that they will be traveling to Colombia to face local club Millonarios this coming Agusut 7th. The announcement was confirmed through Spanish sports daily As.

Sky Sports must be rubbing their hands with glee. With Thursday night's important 1-0 win by Chelsea over Everton at Goodison Park, this ensures that there'll still be plenty to play for when Chelsea battles Man United on April 26. Chelsea currently sits just two points behind Man United, although the Old Trafford club has […]

Today I stumbled upon a rare gem about US Soccer on the front page of the normally American phobic Soccernet.com. (You have to click on the US Soccer tab to access the excellent columns by Jen Chang, Frank Del Apa, Steve Davis and others). Jason Dasey has written probably the best piece I have ever […]

Just what the English Premier League needs, another ill-informed, tinkering owner. I'm certain that Manchester City's billionaire owner Thaksin Shinawatra is a reasonably intelligent man. You don't get to be a billionaire without a little nous. However, like many other rich sports franchise owners, he does not appear to be content to stay at arm's […]

Tottenham Hotspur has announced it'll be unveiling its new kits for the 2008/2009 season in a unique way. They'll be debuted live on Spurs TV, which will be available via a free webcast on Tuesday, May 6. The new Spurs 08/09 home shirt will then be available on May 10, while the away and third […]

The dirty secret about ITVN, the company that brought Setanta Sports via broadband to TV set top boxes in North America, is that its sister company (XTV) was an adult entertainment company. Both companies used the same technology. The set top boxes looked identical (except for the stickers on the front). Even the ITVN remote […]
