I had the sudden realization Sunday that if aliens descended on my town and were asked to find any life of Major League Soccer in South Florida, the only thing they would find is MLS trading cards in the bargain bin of the local dollar store. Seriously. Sadly, Major League Soccer is extinct in South […]

It's been a perculiar, unpredictable season for Milan as the side have endured great levels of torment from humiliating defeats to the likes of Inter and Manchester United, and they have found themselves looking desperately blunt on other occasions, often with dramatic late goals saving them from further embarrassment. Huntelaar's late double act at Catania […]

I've always had a soft spot for Gareth Bale. From his time at Southampton where he made quite an impression in the Championship, to his signing by Tottenham Hotspur, where he played brilliantly in his debut season and was explosive down the left wing. Plus whenever he had a chance to take free kicks for […]

It feels so strange to see Lazio just a couple points from the relegation zone, they won the Serie A in the 1999/2000 season, and to see them possibly relegated just ten years later seems very strange. Imagine Manchester United fighting relegation, it's just not right. Meanwhile Bari are really pushing their limits this year, […]

The three contenders for the Premier League title got through the weekend unscathed while Spurs find themselves two points clear in the race for fourth after Manchester City got (only) a miraculous draw at Sunderland. On this edition of the EPL Talk podcast, Kartik Krishnaiyer, Laurence McKenna and myself review the weekend's matches as well […]

Trust the football supporters of Middlesbrough, from the north east of England, to come up with a comical banner poking fun at the Newcastle United supporters who were positioned to the right of the above banner. "Trophy Virgins," the banner reads with a picture of the Newcastle United team crest featured on the banner. The […]

One of the advantages of Premier League clubs being more desperate for points at this stage of the season is that it means that we get to see more open matches. It also creates more end-to-end action. This past weekend was a perfect example of this. I had the chance to watch Spurs against Blackburn, […]

Before ESPN or Fox Soccer Channel begins the live broadcast of a Major League Soccer game on a Saturday evening, many soccer fans are burned out. They're burned out from watching a smorgasbord of European soccer that has been on television all day. Take a typical Saturday on US cable and satellite television, for example. […]

The football supporter is an interesting specie. The sheer amount of time we devote to our passion relegates us to individuals that can be described as borderline obsessive, half psycho, quite anxious and certainly neurotic. Such is the grasp that the beautiful game holds on the strings of our lives that our heads turn and […]

In the past few weeks, the EPL Talk Podcast has undergone some major changes. Kartik Krishnaiyer was replaced by Richard Farley. We've since increased the quality and quantity of episodes. And we've published interviews with some of the biggest names in soccer including Dwight Yorke, Andrew Cole, Martin Tyler, Barney Ronay, Jonathan Wilson, Claudio Reyna, […]

Let me just start off by saying that I'm so glad I put Nicklas Bendtner in my fantasy premier league team this week. So often dismissed as an arrogant egotist, he's showed real ability in this past week, netting a hat trick against Porto and scoring the late winner in this morning's game. I believe […]

In the United States, the clocks go forward an hour tonight for Daylight Savings Time. However the clocks don't go forward in the United Kingdom for another two weeks until March 28. That means that for viewers in the United States, Premier League games will begin one hour later than usual for the next two […]

Two teams with two different objectives. Hull City battling for Premier League survival. Arsenal battling to win the Premier League title. So, it was no wonder that the KC Stadium on Saturday resembled a battlefield with both teams getting physical as they attempted to become victorious. As it ended up, it was Arsenal that grabbed […]

Gillingham and Canada international footballer Simeon Jackson was recently interviewed and featured in a video created by the duo of Max Bell and Laurence McKenna for the Red Nation website. Jackson, who was born in Jamaica but plays internationally for Canada, plays his club football for Gillingham in League One of the Football League. The […]

From Liverpool, we are reading quotes from Everton FC manager David Moyes saying that a strike means Landon Donovan would stay at Everton. "The loan officially finishes tomorrow and we will send him back but I think there is still a chance that the players there might strike and if that was the case then […]
