During an exclusive interview following a press conference to announce beIN SPORTS' coverage plans for La Liga, Serie A and Ligue Un, beIN SPORTS lead co-commentator Ray Hudson revealed to World Soccer Talk that the plan is for him to be sent on-location to co-commentate el Clasico games this season from Spain, as well as […]

No soccer supporter enjoys seeing player power implemented to the extreme. But we’ve had our fair share of it down the years. It’s probably why, with just minutes to go in the transfer window, West Bromwich Albion’s Saido Berahino put out what is now an infamous Twitter message suggesting he would never play for the […]

Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy has hit back at West Brom after his counterpart Jeremy Peace said Saido Berahino was "unsettled" by interest from White Hart Lane. It is understood the Baggies are unhappy with Spurs' approach to the deal, which only strengthened their resolve to keep Berahino, who scored 20 goals last term. West Brom […]

David de Gea has been backed to remain professional as he continues his Manchester United career. The Spain goalkeeper's expected move to Real Madrid fell through as a paperwork hitch prevented the deal being completed before Spain's Monday night transfer deadline. Inclusion in United's Champions League squad indicates De Gea remains in the plans of […]

Players' union chief Gordon Taylor has advised Saido Berahino against his strike threat at West Brom. The Professional Footballers' Association has offered its help to the Baggies and Berahino following the striker's suggestion on Twitter he was prepared to stop playing after Albion blocked a move to Tottenham on Tuesday. Chairman Jeremy Peace rejected four bids from […]

The Gunners began August on a high note, as they beat Chelsea to collect the Community Shield for the second consecutive season. Despite the big win at the start of the the 2015-16 campaign, confidence at the club was quickly shattered one week later, with Arsenal dropping their first league match to West Ham. The […]

To say that Chelsea have started slowly this season would be a rather generous understatement. The reality is their first month has been poor, especially when held to the standard of the previous season's impressive performances. Last year, Chelsea hit the ground running, winning all four opening matches and doing so with a dominant form that had […]

This December, beIN SPORTS will televise live La Liga games on Christmas Eve (December 24) and New Year's Eve (December 31) as a way to condense the season given that the Spanish league will end earlier than usual this season due to the Euro 2016 competition. The Spanish Primera League typically takes a winter break, […]

West Ham have been charged by the Football Association with failing to control their players following Mark Noble's dismissal at Liverpool. Midfielder Noble, who scored the second goal in his side's 3-0 Premier League victory at Anfield, was sent off in the 78th minute when referee Kevin Friend judged him to have fouled Danny Ings. […]

David De Gea has been included in Manchester United's Champions League squad after his move to Real Madrid collapsed on Monday. The Spain goalkeeper has yet to feature for the Red Devils this season as manager Louis van Gaal said he was not in the right frame of mind to play while a transfer to […]

Stoke midfielder Ibrahim Afellay's suspension after his red card against West Brom has been reduced to two games following a successful appeal by the club. The 29-year-old Holland international was sent off in Stoke's defeat to the Baggies when, having been brought down by Craig Gardner and then touched on the face by his […]

LA Galaxy star Robbie Keane, truly as good a forward as has ever stalked for goals in Major League Soccer, tops a lot of lists for me. Before anyone gets too excited, or wonders if there’s some kind of cash prize for that, let me explain that this is not necessarily a good thing. The […]

It’s been better than last season for Everton, which is a positive. An opening day draw to Watford rekindled unfortunate memories of the previous term, but the Toffees showed what they are capable of with a rousing performing on the road at Southampton, swatting Saints aside with a wonderful 3-0 win. That’s the team’s only […]

Mark Noble will be available for West Ham's first fixture after the international break against Newcastle after the red card he received against Liverpool was rescinded. The Hammers captain, who scored the second goal of his side's 3-0 Premier League victory at Anfield, was sent off in the 78th minute when referee Kevin Friend judged […]

Thanks to some sort of administrative SNAFU, the long-running David De Gea transfer ended in utter farce this week. In a rare (and let’s be honest) very funny outcome, everyone lost. De Gea didn’t get his dream move, Manchester United somehow couldn’t lose the staredown without looking even more inept, and Real Madrid finally paid […]
