Both sides entered the game with an unbeaten record in this year's Premier League but after a tight affair the west of London emerged victorious at the Emirates against Arsenal. After Diaby's early injury and substitution for Oxlade Chamberlain (with Ramsey moving centrally), the sides lined up largely as expected in a rough 4-2-3-1 formation […]

Reading between the lines, Queens Park Rangers manager Mark Hughes only has a few matches left in charge of his club if he can't improve his side's form in the Premier League. Sitting at the bottom of the table, QPR desperately needs a win today against West Ham United. The R's brought in 12 players […]

Before Arsenal’s loss to Chelsea on Saturday, Arsene Wenger said “results against direct opponents are always so important” and that the Gunners needed to show against the Blues that they “are capable to deal with all the kind of problems consistency demands.” Arsenal weren’t able to handle the obstacles Chelsea presented at the Emirates Stadium. […]

It was an incredibly rare Premier League weekend for me. Instead of being glued to the television set on Saturday and Sunday while watching Premier League matches, I watched the early kickoff between Arsenal and Chelsea followed by the first half of Stoke City against Swansea. As soon as the first half whistle blew at […]

Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero says that British players are given preferential treatment by Premier League referees. "There is a little bit of privilege with players who come from [Britain], but that is normal. We just play our game, and the referee's job is to know who is tricking him and who is not." Aguero's comments […]

It was nearly two years ago when Welsh wonder wizard Gareth Bale gave the White Hart Lane faithful one of their greatest international nights. His speed, flair, and precision fueled a 3-1 evisceration of Inter Milan in their Champions League group stage match. Such was Bale’s embarrassment of Inter’s right back Maicon that chants of […]

What more can you say about a fantastic and special footballer like Thierry Henry. We can all talk about him like he is one of the gods of this great sport and he can still dazzle you with plays that at times might mean little or a lot. His goals are works of art and […]

It's not often that Aston Villa or West Bromwich Albion gets featured as the marquee match on a Sunday, but since we have an opportunity to watch both clubs in isolation as the only match today, the Midlands derby should be a delightful one between two teams that have shown some promise this season. After […]

Check out the link to the YouTube video above, well worth a look from FIFA 13... In previous years, FIFA players could have been accused of dodging real league politics and injuries; form and formation; fixtures and fixations. They were able to adapt a side with signings which would rock the real world of football […]

Today's one of those rare Premier League Saturdays when all of the big clubs in the division are playing on the same day. Arsenal kicks things off against Chelsea at 7:45am ET/12:45pm BST in a match that will be another test of whether the Gunners are the real deal this season. After beating Liverpool, almost […]

You can't make this stuff up. No, really. You can't. Swansea City goalkeeper Michel Vorm, who just signed a new contract at Swansea, has been preparing for Saturday's match against Stoke City by using rugby tackle bag equipment to prepare for the crosses he expects to receive in his goalkeeping area. In other news, former […]

The last couple of weeks have been a blur for me. I wish I could say it's been hours spent playing FIFA 13, but it's been a combination of several things — helping my wife launch her food truck business, driving my daughter to her soccer games and practices for her new travel soccer team, […]

Manchester United is in the rare position of having a few key players available from injuries to play in their match this weekend. The opponent is Tottenham Hotspur, usually a team that is threatening at home, but when Spurs are away in the confines of Old Trafford, they're woeful. The last time Tottenham beat United […]

It’s been many years since I actually regretted a game purchase to the point of anger, and I am shocked and saddened that FIFA 13 for the PS Vita would be it. With the lack of any sort of information over the past few months, I wrongly assumed that EA would have taken some of […]
