If you live in the United States and you were watching NBCSN's broadcast of Chelsea against Manchester United on Sunday, you may have noticed that the network played a mini-TV commercial in the top left corner of the screen during the broadcast of the match.

Whilst Manchester United manager David Moyes is still trying to get used to being manager of the biggest club in the world, I have been adapting to life as a married man. My darling wife has zero interest in English football, to the extent that she thinks Peter Crouch is famous for being married to […]

Paulo Di Canio rightfully lost faith in the Korean youngster Ji Dong-Won when he ducked out of the way of a cross in an August 31 loss at Crystal Palace. But this came just weeks after the former Sunderland manager had reportedly turned down an offer from Borussia Dortmund reportedly in the neighborhood of £5million for the […]

Ian Holloway brought Jason Puncheon to Blackpool on loan from Southampton in January 2011 to try and avoid relegation from the Premier League in the Tangerines' first top flight season since the early 1970s. At the time it seemed odd. Why would a Premier League club take a player on loan from a League One […]

One of the more interesting aspects of the Liverpool-Aston Villa penalty incident was that the TV video replay footage was inconclusive whether it should have been a penalty or not. Even after watching the replays multiple times, some pundits said it was a penalty while others said it was not. The bottom line is that […]

Tim Sherwood’s squad selection had become stale and somewhat predictable. A 4-4-2 with an attacking bent was the general trend his first several matches in charge of Tottenham Hotspur. But in this match, Spurs set up in a 4-2-3-1 with the two out-and-out wingers complementing the attacking influence of Christian Eriksen in the center of […]

While so much of the attention yesterday was focused on the penalty controversy in the Liverpool-Aston Villa match, one irreverent video we neglected to share with you is now embedded below.

David Moyes was courageous in his tactics today attempting to take the game to a Chelsea side that has never lost a Premier League game at Stamford Bridge under Jose Mourinho. The tactics that led to an open game were not typically what we see from a Moyes side away from home, but with the […]

Manchester United manager David Moyes has gone on the offensive about his club, saying that they're the biggest in the world and that top players want to join his side. That may true, although I'm sure Real Madrid and Barcelona fans would disagree, but the excerpts of the interview that were published in the British […]

If you even needed a reason to watch Chelsea against Manchester United today (live at 11am on NBCSN), NBC Sports has the added bonus today of Gary Lineker and Lee Dixon being on-site at Stamford Bridge to bring you even more analysis and insight.

Hosting an inconsistent and underachieving Aston Villa, Liverpool were forced to a 2-2 draw as an early tactical misstep from Brendan Rodgers left his side vulnerable and unable defend properly. Despite having his favourite strike partnership paired together in a fairly standard 4-4-2 (which with Coutinho and Sterling on the wings looked more like a […]

Arsenal are reportedly interested in signing Juventus striker Mirko Vucinic on loan for the remainder of the season. However, talks could break down as Juventus is only interested in a permanent signing, while the Gunners are insistent on a loan deal. Juventus rates Vucinic as a £8million player.

The discussion about whether Liverpool should have been awarded a penalty against Aston Villa on Saturday has nothing to do with whether Luis Suarez dived or not, but that's not what mainstream media want to hear. What the focus should be on is whether referee Jon Moss made a correct decision. With the aid of […]

Gossip continues to intensify that Arsenal will try and solve the club’s current depth crisis at striker by acquiring Dimitar Berbatov. NBC's broadcast today of the Gunners 2-0 win against Fulham was filled with references to his potential transfer.
