This weekend was possibly the most exciting one ever for Premier League football with numbers of records being broken in what was a mixed few days for the men in the middle. Firstly, this weekend’s matches saw a record number of goals scored, 41 in total including eight in Manchester United’s demolition of Blackburn Rovers […]

Qatar were not favourites to win the rights to host the tournament and if there finishing does not improve then I will certainly not fancy their chances of winning the competition on home soil. Congratulations to Qatar on winning the hosting rights and to the bitter nations that missed out here is a clip from the Asian Games that will cheer you up.

After a good weekend for the Premier League assistant referees last weekend, the refs will be looking to impress this week. Want to know whose taking charge of your game? Then now you can as I give you information on the men in black and how they will do in your team’s matches. Saturday Arsenal […]

Now that the El Clásico tornado has swept through Spain, leaving bits of Real Madrid debris in its wake, everyone can take a breath and move on with the rest of the season. Real must pick up the pieces and stay in the present rather than dwell on the 5-0 beating that Barcelona handed them […]

You'd think this would be a relegation six-pointer for both of these sides, but Kaiserslautern have looked a notch above a side destined for the 2. Bundesliga this season. Their hosts, however, could be in some trouble without three points here. Srdjan Lakic has been in exceptional goal-scoring form all season, and his finishing ability […]

While the disappointment of England’s failure to land the 2018 FIFA World Cup will take some time to disappear and questions will be asked of where it all went wrong, one man did himself no harm and that is the legend that is David Beckham. As a 24 year old male I’m not afraid to […]

For someone like me who has ties to both England and the United States, the decision by FIFA to award the 2018 and 2022 World Cup tournaments to Russia and Qatar respectively hurts. I watched the announcement Thursday morning on BBC World News from my cabin aboard the Norwegian Dawn cruise ship while sailing north […]

By now you have likely heard that the United States lost its bid to host the 2022 World Cup to Qatar, a country with a population smaller than Latvia but who promised FIFA a truly revolutionary and peace-bringing World Cup. What you may not know is the vote was not even remotely close. The United […]

Last night Ipswich Town defeated Premiership side West Bromwich Albion by a solitary Grant Leadbitter goal, to secure a place in the last four of the Carling Cup. The only team in the Championship remaining in the competition, this is a welcome boost for a team that is struggling for form and still reeling from a rout in the East Anglian derby last Sunday.

It's down to the announcement for the 2018 and 2022 FIFA World Cups. There are four bids for the 2018 tournament (England, Russia, Portugal/Spain) and five bids for the 2022 tournament (USA, Qatar, Australia, South Korea, Japan). Live coverage of the decision will begin around 9:30 AM Eastern, 6:30 AM Pacific, and 2:30 PM GMT […]

I've been playing Fantasy Premier League (FPL) for several years, but in that time the FPL website has changed very little. The graphics have been improved in the game itself, but the site is as jumbled it was the first time I played it. And I often find myself feverishly logging on to it either […]

We go into the 16th match day with a new outlook in the title race. Only a couple of weeks ago we were narrowing our eyes toward the two team race. Now our whites are exposed to five at the top in what is playing out as an unprecedentedly open title race. On this edition […]

EPL Talk Network Live Blogging can be seen by clicking here. The time for waiting is over. The final arguments are being made during the night in Zurich (and I'll leave it to your imagination what "persuasion" means in Zurich) and all that's left is the nervous waiting. So, here's your guide to the World […]

While these two sides are at polar opposites of the Bundesliga table, they've both managed to qualify top of their groups for the next round of the Europa League. Stuttgart had a tough match away to Young Boys of Switzerland, while Leverkusen travelled to Rosenborg in Norway. BSC Young Boys 4 – 2 VfB Stutgart […]
