The English Premier League takes a weekend off as English football shifts its focus to the FA Cup, the third round of which happens this weekend. We start today's show, the second half of a discussion we had on Wednesday, by looking toward this weekend, specifically Liverpool's trip to Manchester United, though that quickly descended […]

Now that the Gameweek 22 matches have ended in the Premier League, it makes you wonder. I don’t see anyone playing outstanding football or even close to it. Just when one of the top clubs seems to have the chance to kick some dirt in their rivals’ collective faces they come a cropper. True, there […]

Normally a European match is noticeable because of the clash of styles involved. Think Inter Milan's immovable object against Barcelona's irresistible force. Similarly, Tottenham have stunned Europe by using traditional English wingers and an old-fashioned target man. In the Europa League, Napoli played a three man backline against teams used to a more traditional back […]

Have you ever been to Blackburn? I have. It's like many old Lancashire mill towns, a little bit grim, a little bit run-down and definitely not like either Milan or the Brazilian resort of Florianopolis and it's certainly not a regular haunt for wealthy Brazilians. And yet the football club has been insisting this week […]

Roy Hodgson takes a walk to get his mind off Liverpool's poor run of form. He's followed by assistant manager Sammy Lee. Watch the video to see where their feet take them.

With the assistance of EPL Talk's posse on Twitter, I've assembled my starting eleven. They feature Chris Kirkland who again got injured for Wigan on Wednesday night, Kieran […]

The third round of the FA Cup kicks off this Saturday. For many soccer fans, myself included, it's one of the best weekends in the year when you get to see several teams you normally don't see do battle against the giants of English football. Saturday's FA Cup coverage kicks off with Arsenal at home […]

The Serie A will be resuming tomorrow, when a fresh slate of midweek games will be played. There are many interesting fixtures, but the one which I'm really looking forward to is Cagliari – AC Milan. AC Milan coach Massimiliano Allegri will be returning to his former club at the Stadio Sant'Elia, and he'll be […]

Whereas yesterday Christopher Riordan and myself focused on the United States players lying their trade in England, to day we start to diversify our focus, looking toward continental Europe but focusing on some of the more overlooked leagues. Whereas tomorrow we'll discuss those players who've taken their talents to the big four leagues of the […]

Only one of the English Premier League's top six clubs entering mid-week action came away with three points from Tuesday and Wednesday fixtures, and unfortunately for those looking for the title race to stay as close as possible, that club was league-leading Manchester United, winning 2-1 on Tuesday versus Stoke. While Manchester City enticed Arsenal […]

The manager has risen from club secretary to official face of the club since the creation of football teams worldwide. He has moved from the man that kept the record books to man that is larger than the football team he manages. Commentators and pundits refer to Ferguson's United or Wenger's beautiful, passing football. He […]

Video: PL Highlights: Blackburn/Liverpool Watching Steven Gerrard walk up to the spot to take the penalty late in the game against Blackburn Rovers, I was confident he would score for Liverpool. When faced with adversity, Gerrard often rises to the occasion. Earlier in the season, Gerrard cooly slotted home a penalty against fiercest rivals Manchester […]
