It's FA Cup semi-final weekend which means that for three teams the Premier League will cease to matter, at least for a few hours. Of course for Portsmouth the Premier League ceased to matter some time ago and as such, any manager who still has Pompey players in their side will likely be going the […]

With all of the Premier League clubs now knocked out of the Champions League – and Liverpool and Fulham's stays in the Europa League are still up in the air at press time – all eyes now focus on the two remaining pieces of silverware to be won this season. The FA Cup and the Barclays […]

But he is the most honest.

I'm more confused than anything else. In my last post I asked that we maintain the good form, no matter what the outcome of the season. I should have added we must cling to clear-headed decision making from now to the end. The last two outings for Liverpool were derailed by bad judgement by Ryan […]

ESPN has been patient throughout this entire 2009-2010 Premier League season in regards to which matches they've been able to televise live on ESPN2. For the vast majority of games, they were B- level or C-level Premier League matches. But finally after their recent record-breaking Manchester United against Chelsea broadcast, they finally got a massive […]

In the coming days there will be much wailing and gnashing of teeth about the fact that the Premier League, for the first time in seven years, has no teams in the semi-final of the Champions League.

Yes it's documented that I am a New York Supporter and I hate DC United with a passion. But while my hate has some form of respect for the club in our Nation's Capital I have been reading reports for the last couple of years that the Nation's Capital has no respect for DC United […]

Manchester United has gone crashing out of Champions League, having succumb to the left foot of Arjen Robben. On this episode of the EPL Talk podcast, I am joined by Laurence McKenna for our mid-week review show, talking about United's capitulation and Arsenals ouster at the boots of Lionel Messi. That, and a preview of […]

Liverpool has officially unveiled their new home soccer shirt for the 2010-12 seasons, which is now available for pre-order. Designed and manufactured by Adidas, the new Liverpool home shirt features a "jacquard fabric, laser cut woven club crest execution, and rich metallic gold piping detail that helps to create a jersey steeped in history, with […]

I've never been a big fan of the away goals rule because it seems like an odd rule that exists only as a cruel and unusual punishment to knock a losing team out of a cup tournament. But the match between Manchester United and Bayern Munich was a perfect example of how well it can […]

Manchester United were eliminated from the most coveted Cup competition in the world on Wednesday night in heartbreaking fashion. Having won their home leg 3-2 and finishing off the tie with a level aggregate score of 4-4, United were put to the sword by the dreaded away goals rule. Such are the laws of the […]

Serie A's lone representative in the Champions League advanced to the semi-finals with a 2-0 aggregate win over a feisty CSKA Moscow club. Their reward: facing probably the best team in the world, a Barcelona club that obliterated Arsenal yesterday at Camp Nou. Inter did what it needed to do to advance in the tournament – […]
