Setanta is reporting that the Saturday, January 10, 2009 episode of I'm On Setanta Sports will be the final show. It's either the best marketing ploy of early 2009 or the end of the greatest football show ever to come to the Internet. "Regulars “IT,” Sven Goran Eriksson and “The Boy,” Wayne Rooney and “Ronnie” […]

The 2008/2009 Premier League season will go down as one of the most bizarre in terms of football kits. There's West Bromwich Albion who are without a shirt sponsor for the entire season. Then there was West Ham United and the covering up of sponsor name XL Travel with player's squad numbers. And the day […]

If there is one story that I want to just be over and never have to hear about again, the Carlos Tevez saga with West Ham United and Sheffield United would be that story. When I first read that the FA and the Premier League were going to reopen the case against West Ham and […]

As a Barcelona supporter, it was great to see Lionel Messi put a hat trick on Atletico Madrid in the 1st leg of their Round of 16 Copa Del Rey tie at the Vicente Calderon. It was a performance that the Spanish & Catalan media were gushing over especially since it was against a Champions […]

Bruce McGuire joins host Kartik Krishnaiyer to discuss the January Transfer window as it affects American footballers as well as MLS. We also discuss the US National Team camp which is open at the Home Depot Center which will culminate in a friendly versus Sweden.

Uruguayan international Sebastián Abreu left River Plate yet once again. Friday afternoon ¨El Loco¨ met with club officials telling them that he had accepted an offer to go play with Spanish second division side Real Sociedad.

There are certian things that never go together. If they are placed together, they could cause an explosion. Aluminum and microwaves. Water and grease on fire. Politics and football. These last two are redundant as they generate the same amount of passion and violence when the right ingredients are mixed. Frederic Kanouté was excited after […]

Who would have guessed that the slowly turning wheels of the Premier League and FA's disciplinary panels would finally get round to re-opening their botched enquiry into the Carlos Tevez affair. I mean it's only been 4 months since Lord Griffiths ruled that West Ham broke the rules and misled the Premier League over Tevez's […]

The Riverside will witness something interesting five minutes before the kick-off of this Tees-Wear derby. Indeed, it could be one of the pivotal moments in the Teessiders' up-but-mostly-down season. Will Stuart Downing be walking out in red along with his team mates, and if he does, how will the home crowd react? Depending on further transfer […]

After Kartik Krishnaiyer and I recently spent the day at GolTV studios, we decided to make a stop at the future home of FCB Miami on the campus of Florida International University in west Miami. We wanted to see for ourselves how the stadium looked and how it compared to the home of the last […]

Hull City have been a breath of fresh air for the EPL this season as, on their first foray in the English top flight, they took the Premier League by storm. Almost every football expert, and non-expert, had the Tigers pegged as certain relegation fodder before a Premiership football was even kicked back in August. […]

Congrats to Derby County. On a day where Cricket was the headline in England throughout (thanks ECB), Derby County came up with another dozy...technically being 180 minutes away from European competition. However that's where the hyperbole stops for me. Sir Alex Ferguson obviously had a plan in mind for tonight's game, damage control. While yes […]

The first EPL Talk Podcast episode of 2009 will feature Martin Tyler as our esteemed guest (there's still time between now and Sunday night to submit your questions to the guest). But, in the meantime, I need your assistance to help decide who should be the guest we interview for the second episode of 2009. […]

Back When it Was All So Simple Imagine for a moment you're walking through the streets of Manhattan on a lovely June day. You pass by a Nike store and notice a display stand decked out in a familiar claret and blue. Ashley Young poses next to January-transfer signing David Villa in a larger than […]

This round of the Copa del Rey has some intriguing storyline. The biggest game of the stage is undoubtedly Barcelona and Atlético Madrid. The biggest player on the field on Tuesday will be Lio Messi. Players like Samuel Eto'o, Sergio Agüero, Xavi, and Carles Puyol missing from the pitch will mean that there will […]
