It was a welcome return to Premier League action Saturday after a long international break. I'll be the first to admit that I found the matches I watched exciting. My Saturday began by watching Everton versus Manchester United, then West Ham against Chelsea, followed by Arsenal and Bolton. I was enthralled by the injury time […]

Just two days ago I wrote about Bobby Zamora singing a new contract at Fulham, but just typical of the cruel luck that is often associated with the sport, the Fulham forward suffered a horrific leg break in his very next game he played. You can’t help but feel the pain for the likeable Zamora. […]

I believe West Ham United supporters should be worried, if they're not worried already. Not only because they're bottom of the table. But more so because the team reminds me a lot of the way that Avram Grant's previous club, Portsmouth, played last season. And we all know where they ended up. Rewind to last […]

A relegation certainty was the tag given to Blackpool after their shock promotion to the Premier League. But after the Tangerines continued their stunning start to life in the top flight with an impressive 2-0 victory over Newcastle United, are Ian Holloways men primed to prove all the doubters wrong? Seven points from their opening […]

On Monday, Stoke City will play at home against Aston Villa in the Premier League. The Potters have lost all three of their games so far this season, so they'll be anxious to walk away with three points, or one at the minimum. It's just another day in the life of Stoke, a club that […]

An extremely interesting few games were played out, and they show a few things about the team which might win the scudetto. Inter Milan, Roma, and AC Milan all played out their second match-day games, and while the nerazzurri won, the other two title contenders lost. Inter Milan didn't have too much difficulty against Udinese, […]

Saturday's Bundesliga matches provided the drama and unpredictability we all like to see. Two of the bigger results of the weekend saw McClaren's Wolfsburg side and Gross's Stuttgart side losing yet again to remain pointless at the bottom of the table. Certainly not the kind of start either coach would have been hoping for! For […]

I have to say that I haven’t been feeling my confident self during the past week. This situation has hit me pretty hard and at the same I have been thinking about how much we are going to miss his thoughts on both EPL Talk & MLS Talk. I have also been thinking about his […]

It's a good thing that David Moyes wasn't the manager of Brazil in the 1978 World Cup. When Moyes went into a rage this Saturday after the final whistle blew in the game against Manchester United, he was upset because the referee blew his whistle before Everton had a chance to grab an injury time […]

While a Patrick Vieira goal was enough to rescue a point for Manchester City against Blackburn a draw won’t be good enough to satisfy City’s ever demanding owners and fans. But expect more results of a similar nature as sides adjust to City’s new statute. City’s vast spending over the last few years has now […]

Manchester United and Everton contested one of the most entertaining games of the Premier League season so far at Goodison Park this weekend. After taking the lead only to let it slip to a two goal deficit, Everton launched a late rally to score two injury time goals and earn a 3-3 draw in a […]

Alas, the Premier League has finally returned after a long international break and there are several mouthwatering games that will be played today. Can Man United overcome Everton without Rooney? Can Everton can much-needed points? Can West Ham get something out of their game against Chelsea? Can Bolton upset Arsenal? And so on and so […]

West Brom fans will today display a banner in support of Osaze Odemwingie after the striker received a sick racist taunt from ‘supporters’ at his former club Lokomotiv Moscow. Baggies fans will have a created a banner which will read “Thanks Lokomotiv”. The touching gesture is in retaliation to the "Thanks West Brom" banner that featured […]

Last week I backed Wayne Rooney to deal with media storm surrounding him ahead of England’s clash with Switzerland, well ahead of Manchester United forwards return to Goodison Park can he deal with yet another hostile atmosphere he faces? Once again the answer is of course he can. Every year he returns to his former club […]

Here's another preview of FIFA 11, which will be released this autumn around the world. The preview shows the advanced defending tutorial with a voiceover by commentator Martin Tyler. It's a good indication of the graphics, audio and gameplay you can expect in the upcoming release. However, unless you're a FIFA video game expert, some […]
