If a tree falls in a forest and there is nobody to hear it, does it make a sound? Or in footballing terms, if Jose Mourinho's Chelsea side goes on to win the treble or quadruple this season, will he still get the sack? I honestly believe that Roman Abramovich is mad. It appears extremely likely […]

This summer Gregg and I visited Toyota Park, one of the best soccer specific stadiums in the nation. Toyota Park is the home of the Chicago Fire. We attended the match between the MLS All Stars and Chelsea at the stadium. This weekend I will be visiting Dick's Sporting Goods Park, the new Soccer stadium […]

Northern Ireland manager and Fulham caretaker manager Lawrie Sanchez faces a difficult job the next few weeks on many different levels. First, he has to somehow instill confidence in a Fulham side that hasn't won in seven matches. With only five matches to go until the end of the season, Sanchez has little time to […]

What an awe-inspiring performance that was last night by Manchester United after their 7-1 thrashing of Roma in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-final. Who could have predicted such an outcome? The one-touch passing and incredible link-up play was incredible. But, to me, what was even more impressive was the performance of Manchester […]

Courtesy of The Offside blog, here's a link to the top ten football chants of all time according to one YouTuber.Some glaring omissions, I believe, are:"Que Sera, Sera (Whatever Will be, Will be)""Glory, Glory Man United""When The Saints Go Marching In""United Road (Take Me Home)""Blue Is The Colour"

Fox Soccer Channel today announced that it has signed a three year deal with the United Soccer League (USL) to broadcast matches on Friday nights. But, for me, the bigger news in the press release is that Fox will be showing the matches on their web site in addition to TV. While I seriously doubt […]

At the foot of the Premiership, the race to avoid relegation has now been reduced from 10 teams last weekend to eight. Those teams are: Watford, West Ham, Sheffield United, Charlton, Wigan, Fulham, Aston Villa and Middlesbrough. If Villa and Boro reach 40 points (they're both at 39), that should be enough to ensure safety. […]

This is perhaps the first time two opposing clubs in the EPL have had goals from American Internationals. Man City won 3 to 1, and Beasley's goal is shown on this clip. I'm working on getting Bocanegra's latest goal, his 6th of the EPL season (the 2nd most for a defender in the league) up […]

In the past two years, a lot has changed in football with English clubs generating gigantic amounts of revenue while the interest in the FA Premier League among Americans (and American investors) has grown considerably. During this time, EPL Talk has grown and expanded its coverage. And we now have a better sense of our […]

Eric Wynalda's suspension by ESPN for ABC's Saturday telecast was nothing short of criminal. What ESPN lacks throughout its sports programming is strong witty opinions. Just consider the way ESPN's signature voices analyze their respective sports: Dick Vitale will never criticize a coach or a player who happens to stay in school four years. Peter […]

By John Nicholson I've assumed since the Xmas and New Year period when Man United opened up a 12 point gap over Chelsea that the Blues would hunt United down and catch them. I just assumed it would happen, so much so that United being so far ahead just looked unnatural; an aberration. This weekend, […]

As the number of football podcasts continues to grow especially as clubs jump on the bandwagon and release their official versions, it's often hard to find new podcasts that are unique and deliver insight you can't find elsewhere. But there is one podcast I'd like to highlight for Liverpool fans or for those who are […]
