A photograph purportedly of Manchester United's home shirt for the 2011-12 season has been leaked on the Internet. The new Manchester United home jersey features a retro collar and an otherwise simple but appealing design. The retro collar reminds me of the classic Manchester United kit from 1978 (pictured). The 2011-2012 design by Nike also […]

Since I am currently on holiday with my family, I hadn't planned to do a second match review this week. However I caught the replay of yesterday's Chelsea-Bolton match, and thought I'd at least give the starting formation and a few thoughts. – This matchup of Bolton's 4-4-2 and Chelsea's 4-3-3 leads to the typical […]

Closing out a great 2010 of in U.S. Soccer, myself and Christopher Riordan close out a year's worth of podcasts with this Oscar-inspired awards show. One hour, 62 nominees and 20 awards honor out favorites films (teams), directors (coaches), actors (players) as well as moments from the last calendar year. We gave you a sneak […]

Happy New Year to all EPL lovers. I've written this weekly column from some interesting spots. This time from soccer-mad Mexico with an extremely dodgy internet connection. So no time for text per game, just the facts and the ratings. ESPN takes its outstanding production to the Hawthorns this week to follow United. On New […]

As the New Year approaches this seasons title race is one of the most open in the history of the Premier League. No one is showing form that suggests they will run away with it and five teams will seriously still believe that could become Champions come the end of the season. Let’s take a […]

For many Liverpool supporters who were holding out faith for Roy Hodgson to turn the team around, many lost their belief in Hodgson after Wednesday night's pathetic performance against Wolves. At this rate, Hodgson's position as Liverpool manager is tenuous. But who do you think should replace him? Vote in the poll below and share […]

Looking at the table and seeing Fulham currently in 18th position halfway through the season it makes sense to be concerned as a Fulham supporter. The next thing many fans are going to look at are the reasons why Fulham are in the relegation zone. I plan on sharing my points on why I believe […]

As we close the books on 2010 and go through our retrospectives (including MLS Talk's own awards) I wanted to take a different look back on the year that was through a different lens: what if what happened didn't happen, or vice versa. Over the weekend I intend to take four 2010 events from American […]

A leaked photograph of Barcelona's shirt for the 2011-2012 season has been leaked on the Internet. Pictured above, the Nike design looks like a prototype of what may be Barcelona's new shirt for next season. The design is completely different to the current one and features much thinner stripes on the front of the jersey. […]

When the final whistle blew at Anfield Wednesday night, the air was deafened by the sound of a chorus of boos. That was followed by some in The Kop singing Kenny Dalglish's name and cheeky "Hodgson for England" chants. In what was definitely Liverpool's worst performance of the season, the team crashed to a 1-0 […]

A photograph of Arsenal's home shirt for the 2011-12 season has been leaked on the Internet. The new Arsenal home shirt features a design that is similar to the current 2010-11 one, but the most prominent new feature is a wreath around the Arsenal crest. Also noticeable is that the sleeves are white with no […]

Yesterday saw Aston Villa slump to another defeat to the hands of mega rich Manchester City. This leaves Villa one point above the relegation zone and with another four goals conceded it leaves Houllier's boys with a minus 14 goal difference, joint worst in the league. What has gone wrong at Villa Park? For the last few seasons Villa […]

There are some footballers who we can all agree about. Lionel Messi, for example. There can't be any serious observer who would think he's over-rated. But such unanimity is very rare in football. Split opinion is much more common and when it comes to Dimitar Berbatov, rarely can a player have divided opinion with such […]
