After a day to let the occurrences #EpicSunday settle in, it is time for the renewal of the EPL Talk “Daily Ticker.” This makes the site your one-stop-shop for all things Premier League. The day’s news is all here, along with recaps of undermined matches and other happenings around the world of football. A new […]

I was originally skeptical of diving into Sunderland, A Club Transformed, Jonathan Wilson’s book about the 2006-2007 season for the Black Cats. As much as I respect Jonathan Wilson’s intellect and analysis of topics related to football, there were two red flags for me. Firstly, any narrative about a single season in football tends to […]

A photo of Newcastle United's home shirt for the 2012-13 season has been leaked on the Internet. Newcastle United only just changed their sponsor a few weeks ago, so Puma obviously hasn't had time to update the sponsor's name on the front of the shirt. However, when updated, I like this shirt a lot. It's […]

Way back somewhere in the annuls of time; before the awe inspiring stadiums and the anti-sweat kits, before the mega millions and the sponsorship deals, before television and radio and the world wide web – back when the beautiful game was anything but. When football was little more than a pigs bladder and a muddy […]

Premier League soccer on TV is at an important crossroads in the United States. The interest in the league is growing by such leap and bounds that several Premier League matches have graduated from FOX Soccer to the free-to-air FOX network (Sunday's Arsenal-Man United game scored an 0.9 rating). However, with these changes come growing […]

UPDATED: FOX's live broadcast of Arsenal against Manchester United delivered a 0.9 overnight rating, according to Sports Business Journal. This compares to a 1.5 overnight rating from the record-breaking Chelsea against Liverpool match from November 20, which was shown on tape delay on FOX. Two factors that can explain the decrease are (1) the Chelsea […]

1. The game is flawed- It's a point I've been meaning to make for a while and one that arose in a comment on last week's post. In that article I, perhaps harshly, described Modric's goal against Wolves as the first sign of the Apocalypse. Given that Modric is probably the most talented creative player in […]

One day Robbie Keane will write/dictate his autobiography, and it will be filled with fantastic stories of playing football for some major clubs, living in Italy and the USA and full of scoring goals. Keane marked his full Aston Villa debut on Saturday with two sublimely taken goals against relegation threatened Wolverhampton Wanderers. Keane’s move […]

Two nil down to City, most teams would have bitten the dust and collapse, but Spurs showed an undying belief to fight back. This isn’t the Spurs team of years ago; this is Redknapp’s team, full of hard running and energy. They were unlucky to lose to a spot kick in the 94th minute, especially conceding […]

Another weekend of upsets and setups as the EPL rocketed towards two huge collisions. So how did your team do? It was London v Manchester as the potential top four make an effort to distinguish themselves from the rest. With Christmas form forgotten, Super Sunday promised so much? But did it deliver for you? Let […]

Juventus have scored 29 goals in 18 league matches which is not very impressive but by no means is it a disastrous figure considering only two clubs in Serie A have scored more: Milan and Napoli. The figures do not lie and a closer look reveals the Bianconeri have scored 10 goals in 3 matches […]

Roma legend and skipper Francesco Totti broke the Serie A scoring record for a single club after managing to score a quick double on Saturday during the 5-1 win over Cesena. The two goals scored by Totti brought his tally to 211 goals with the Giallorossi in the Italian top flight. Totti has now played […]

The whole week has been building up to this: the double-header featuring Manchester City against Tottenham Hotspur followed by Arsenal and Manchester United. So much is on the line. Not just three points, but also pride and bragging rights. It's not only a big game for all four clubs involved, but it's also a big […]

In a Premier League season that has thus far, for the most been dominated by both Manchester clubs, this upcoming Sunday presents the perfect opportunity for North London to stake back some title revenge. It starts with Harry Redknapp’s men. As they make the trip up north, Spurs will be looking to prove that the […]

There was a time not so long ago, a Manchester United team travelling to North London only meant one thing, and that was to get one over arch rivals Arsenal for the title. Now, with Spurs knocking on everyone’s doorstep, the game this Sunday provides different meaning for both sets of managers. For Sir Alex, […]
