As the Community Shield approaches this weekend to officially kick off another ten months of Premier League football, here are a few non big four yet solid and exciting players to watch this season. For those more interested in big four teams, watch this space for more preview posts to come before the opening weekend.

Out of the 20 clubs in the Premier League, which ones do you think have the most expensive season tickets? Many of you may guess that Manchester United and Liverpool would be high up on the list, but you may be surprised by the findings that Four Four Two Magazine revealed in their latest issue. […]

On his first official press conference as new Fulham boss, Mark Hughes lambasted his former employers, Manchester City, and aired out his frustrations about his short tenure at Eastlands. Hughes was sacked last December and replaced by Roberto Mancini, who still failed to get City into the Champions League and had to settle for Europa […]

El Niño has ended his silence today and has announced he "is more committed to Liverpool FC than ever." This almost feels like a summer move, because with Liverpool finishing 7th last season, it seemed inevitable that the combination of his highly-overvalued price tag and Torres' desire for Champions League football would lead to his […]

Manchester United will officially unveil their new away jersey for the 2010-2011 Premier League season on Wednesday, August 4th. Designed and manufactured by Nike, the jersey is white with red and black trim and features a chevron designed on the shirt's shoulder and sleeves as well as the new sponsor's name on the front of […]

As they approach, once again, the 100 million pound mark in the transfer market, Manchester City and head coach Roberto Mancini still find facets of their team to dislike. Yet, for a team still searching for a striker to add to an already formidable attack, much respect is already deserved to what appears to be […]

You will never forget that mohawk haircut during the 2002 World Cup before the match started against South Korea. You keep remembering Jack Edwards call after the goal scored to silence a nation "THAT'S WHY HE'S HERE!" You will never forget the goal he scored during the final round of qualifying in Honduras with the […]

On an overcast afternoon at Red Bull Arena the media came to see the newest signing of the New York Red Bulls and of course their third Designated Player that they signed to improve the club. Mexican International Defender & Midfielder Rafael Marquez walked out of the tunnel and waiting for him on the field […]

The start of the newly named Npower football league is almost upon us and it all gets under way on Friday night at Carrow Road when Norwich take on Watford. As well as a preview I will be writing on Thursday, I thought I'd pick out 5 players from this season that are worth keeping […]

Gol TV have purchased the rights to exclusively air the German Super Cup match between Bayern Munich and Schalke on Saturday. Gol TV have also gone ahead and purchased the rights to exclusively air next season's German Super Cup match. It seems that after an excellent display by the German national team at the World […]

If I asked you to name the big four in English football, chances are you would reply with Man Utd, Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea. You’d be wrong though. In fact, instead of the Blues, it is Wolverhampton Wanderers who find themselves firmly cemented in the top four in terms of all time results joining United, […]

Bayern Munich winger and World Cup finalist Arjen Robben has sustained a long-term injury that will rule him out of competitive football for a period of up to two months. Robben missed the start of the Netherlands' World Cup campaign with a thigh injury, and the way he was rushed back to fitness seems to […]

With the season fast approaching fans of Newcastle United will be wondering how their team will cope back in the top flight after a season away. Chris Hughton and Colin Calderwood did a fantastic job stabilising the club and leading them to promotion at the first attempt but have they got enough quality at their […]

Dimitar Berbatov is less a divisive figure amongst United fans and more a Red Herring, any time his name is rolled out by rival fans it’s along the lines “you could have had Torres or Tevez for less money”. His lack of goals for United is a statistic you can’t ignore, over his two seasons […]

I still remember the day on October 2, 1983 when the first English top flight match on a Sunday was screened live on British television. The game between Tottenham Hotspur and Nottingham Forest wasn't memorable, but it was a turning point in the history of kick-off times for English football because the weekend monopoly of […]
