Ledley King went down with a groin strain in the 30th minute of Tottenham’s draw with Newcastle United at St. James’ Park on Sunday. Leading 1-0, Spurs conspired to blow two leads after King's departure. King is no stranger to the physio room and has been beset by injury problems ever since the 2004-05 season: […]

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=po0dZfS2CDg Watch any Premier League match in person or on television each weekend, and you'll see plenty of supporters sitting in their seats, but you'll also see many of them standing. In some grounds, you'll see a greater percentage of fans standing up. Stoke City's Britannia Stadium and Manchester City's Etihad Stadium are just two […]

Here’s a look back at the good, the bad, and the ugly from week eight of the Premier League. Cheers The International break is over: While there were some intriguing international matches, it’s good to see clubs take the pitch again. Anthony Pilkington: The Norwich man netted two goals in another victory for the surprising Canaries. […]

Ryan Giggs rightly is held in the highest regard by all true fans of the game, yet the question remains whether he is past his sell by date. Certainly if one were to look at the facts and see he has already scored two goals this season than the argument may seem ludicrous. However, his […]

Real Madrid currently occupy third place while Barcelona are on top but only by a point with Levante separating the perennial contenders in Spain. One of the main reasons behind Real's 24 goals in 7 La Liga matches is the presence of key player Cristiano Ronaldo, but the Portuguese star is not the only reason […]

I am starting to become a bit concerned at how poor my predictions have been so far this season, and this weekend’s Rome Derby is no exception. But I am, however. prepared to give myself something of a mulligan for my most recent failure. At the end of the preview I wrote last week, I […]

This Saturday's early kickoff between Wolves and Swansea may not be the match that everyone is looking forward to this weekend (I would disagree for obvious reasons), but it looks like ESPN2 and Comcast are having a tough time getting excited about it too. Take a look at the above image from the Comcast DVR […]

British Labour Party politician Steve Rotheram gave a passionate plea Monday to the House of Commons on the topic of the Hillsborough Disaster. The Liverpudlian MP, who was at Hillsborough on that fateful day in 1989, argued for the disclosure and publication of public documents relating to the Hillsborough disaster.

On Saturday night the Seattle Sounders publicly saluted keeper Kasey Keller, who is retiring at the end of the season. The club had a great pre post-game ceremony complete with gifts of a Honda off-road vehicle (driven in by minority owner Drew Carey) as well as bronzed keeper gloves. But the greatest tribute of all might […]

Harry Redknapp probably has his best side to date at Tottenham Hotspur, much more superior than the team that took them into the Champions League two seasons ago anyway. Spurs are flying, having won four out of their last five Premier League games – including a 4-0 win over Liverpool and a 2-1 victory over […]

It is never easy being an England fan. The side seems to be either woefully underperforming, in the middle of scandals or suffering from just sheer bad luck. Being an England supporter really should come with a health warning. For generations England have promised so much yet delivered so little. The current incumbent lot seem […]

Today features three mouthwatering matches in the Premier League. The massive derby between West Bromwich Albion and Wolves kicks things off early, which is followed by what should be an interesting game between Arsenal and Sunderland. And then last, but not least, we have Newcastle United versus Tottenham Hotspur. Who would have thought that at […]

In the long history between these two teams (winners of the first five MLS Cups), there has never been an ending quite like this. The Chicago Fired dealt DC United's playoff chances a major blow while keeping themselves alive for a late playoff run by scoring two second half stoppage time goals to stun DCU […]

It all went wrong for the New York Red Bulls against Sporting Kansas City in the first half Saturday when Thierry Henry tried to get to the ball and caught already-on-the-ground Roger Espinoza with a knee to the back. Referee Kevin Stott wasted no time as he showed a red card and sent Henry off […]

Manchester City striker Mario Balotelli continued his run of form with another goal, and this time it was a beautiful overhead kick against Aston Villa. The Italian scored his fourth goal in his last four games for City. The goal, combined with goals from teammates Vincent Kompany, James Milner and Adam Johnson helped City defeat […]
