While I commented earlier this week on Chelsea's need to improve their style of play (and confidence) this Saturday and in the Champions League next Tuesday, the other clubs in the four horse race need to be equally as concerned. Between now and September 17, there's a good chance that a wider gap may open […]

This year's UEFA Cup promises to be more interesting than in previous years especially with the West Ham United saga and Tottenham's entry into the tournament. Here's the match that will be shown next week on Setanta Sports: Thursday, Sept 14, 2:30pm ET: Slavia Prague v Tottenham Hotspur With next week's Champions League matches as […]

What a magnificent night for European football. The plucky Northern Ireland, buoyed by their jubilant crowd at Windsor Park, shocked world football by defeating Spain 3-2. And France cruised to a comfortable and awe-inspiring 3-1 home win against World champions Italy. Add to that Scotland's crucial 2-1 away win in Lithunia, Germany's annihilation of San […]

I'm in football heaven right now. After one of those long days where all you want to do is go home and sink into your couch and put your feet up, I switched on ITVN and was pleasantly surprised to see that the new update is available. At the same time, I'm watching the Setanta […]

The opening of Wembley Stadium could be delayed from 2007 until 2010. What a disgrace, and how does Multiplex get off on threatening to sue when they've obviously botched the whole project?

Crucial because it can mean the difference between financial success or the sack. And […]

Not only is Major League Soccer being blamed by many for the failures of Team USA, but now MLS seems to be reluctant to allow top American players (and other MLS players from the CONCACAF region) to go abroad during the international transfer window because Major League Soccer operates on a calendar that is different […]

While we talk a lot about the quantity and quality of football shown on the three soccer networks in America, one thing we often overlook is how other types of coverage have improved. Take, for example, podcasts. The number of quality football podcasts is continuing to increase. A year ago, there was hardly anything available. […]

You waited forever for the new Premiership season to start, and then you've had to endure the past week with no Premiership coverage.

Paul Wilson from The Guardian newspaper warns that there's danger ahead for West Ham after the signing of Tevez and Mascherano. As always, it's another thought provoking piece from The Guardian. The article includes some revealing information including a quote from Tevez from a few months ago about Chelsea's advances, Tevez wearing a Man United […]

We're not even into week three of the Premiership, but who would have expected the Tevez and Mascherano transfers to ever happen and to West Ham of all places? Never before have transfer signings been clouded in so much mystery. No one publicly knows what the transfer fees were, how long their contracts are for, […]
