It might have been a good week for Liverpool off the field, but their on pitch woes continued with a woefully disappointing defeat at the hands of Merseyside rivals Everton. New owner John W Henry, who was in attendance at Goodison Park, might have been thinking what he had parted £300 million for as goals […]

Thank the heavens that league football is back! And boy, did the English Premier League remind us what we were missing. A Merseyside derby, a compelling (if deliberate) affair at Villa Park, and a slew of great matches adorned this weekend's fixture list. For myself, Kartik Krishnaiyer and Laurence McKenna, it's fodder for a great […]

After the emphatic win for Everton, we continue our discussion over to the match of the Haves and the Have Nots. Blackpool V Man City EPLtalk Live Blog

Ding dong: the ding dongs are dead. It will be some time before Liverpool supporters know what we're getting with John Henry and NESV, but we can at least bask in the joy that comes with departure of tweedle-dee and tweedle-jackass: Mr Tom Hicks and Mr George Gillett. For us, the news of their ousting as club […]

While his Wolves side weren’t able to earn a valuable victory over West Ham, Mick McCarthy was able to hit back at Danny Murphy, with a comment in a press conference summing up the universal disagreement that has followed the Fulham midfielders attack on managers who ‘encourage’ bad tackles. When asked what he thought of […]

The Merseyside derby is always one of the biggest Premier League matches on the English football calendar, and today is no different after everything that has happened to Everton and Liverpool this season. In previous years, many of the Merseyside derbies I've watched are clouded in fog, literally. I seem to remember that many of […]

Kaiserslautern – Eintracht Frankfurt This match is a pivotal one as far as the relegation dogfight is concerned. Both teams play a similar system and it should be a very tight encounter. Kaiserslautern's Srdjan Lakic and Frankfurt's Theofanis Gekas have been banging in the goals this season, and their aerial ability and physical strength will […]

victory over Birmingham was overshadowed by a clumsy challenge by Jack Wilshere that saw the young English star pick up the first red card of his professional career. While Wilshere may have the world at his feet, the red card demonstrates that the 18-year-old still has plenty learn. It really was a mixed day for […]

West Brom fought back from two goals down against Manchester Untied to earn a very impressive point at Old Trafford. At half time few would of thought the final outcome would be anything other than a comfortable win for the home side, but credit to Roberto Di Mateo’s men who continue to impress. While Di […]

Can we have our football season back now please? The golden days of Autumn are upon us, the first frosts leaving a kiss of silver on our parks and gardens; the chilled Chablis gives way to a robust Argentinean Malbec and cardigans begin to look attractive, once again. There is something magical about the Fall […]

I'm not a religious man, but thank god the Premier League is finally back in action today. I love the World Cup and the European Championships, but all of the qualifying for international tournaments is tedious to say the least. There's a full schedule of Premier League games on today, so feel free to post […]

With the international break over, we can now focus back to this interesting title race in the works called Serie A. While the Azzurri have had a relatively disappointing international break with their 0-0 draw against Northern Ireland, their match against Serbia cancelled, and the fact that they won't be part of the 2012 olympics, […]

After what was another really boring international break, I'm sure everyone's just really looking forward to a Saturday devoted to club football. So, for this week, I'm going to skip the dramatic build-up and just get straight into it! Werder Bremen v SC Freiburg Werder Bremen have recently had a well-publicized dressing room rift that […]

Borussia Dortmund go top, at least until Saturday, after a hard fought and well deserved three points at Koln. Pacey winger Kuba, who I have come to love to watch, tapped in at the far-post after a wicked cross from Shinji Kagawa to give Dortmund the lead after 20 minutes. After that, both sides had […]

I'm liking the vibe of Manchester. Really cool town with a bit less of the fuss involved with London. Manchester, what an important city as it pertains to my life. The bands that have emerged from this area have touched me while one of the football teams, the red half, has held great significance in […]
