There are plenty of spoof videos on the Internet, but most of them are cheaply done. However, I came across this one today that I think is one of the best ones I've ever seen that features Andrei Arshavin going "Back to the Future" to stick it to the Liverpool players and Rafa Benitez. This […]

I'd like to open up a bit of good old fashioned debate here on EPL Talk concerning the recent exploits of one Mick McCarthy. Tuesday night at Old Trafford saw Manchester United draw level on points with league leaders Chelsea with a 3-0 victory against Wolverhampton Wanderers. You might be thinking, "that doesn't sound out […]

Over the next few days until the end of 2009, I'll be compliling a few articles looking at my favourite moments from the Premiership's second decade. I'll be looking at some of the great players, some of the great managers, matches, goals even kits. I'll be giving you my honest opinion on what and who […]

Listening to last week's episode of the Football Weekly Podcast on The Guardian, I had to laugh when studio guest (and occasional EPL Talk blogger) Richard Whittall brought up the topic of stereotypes about British women. Astounding as it may seem, The Guardian's Barney Ronay had no idea what Whittall was talking about and seemed […]

DaMarcus Beasley is once again playing a high level for his club team and must be strongly considered for a return to the US setup. Beasley’s comeback started with a good performance versus Sevilla in the Champions League last week, and has continued through a few good league performances this week. In Rangers’ 3-1 win […]

Since the US was drawn into England’s group in the World Cup, I have seen and heard lots of discussion of why the USMNT can either draw or beat England. Yet, to this point I have not seen one single shred of analysis to defend this point. ESPN commentators and bloggers alike have made reference […]

Listening to the excellent radio program This American Life recently on National Public Radio, I became deeply enthralled by a segment they played about an improv group from New York that often played mind games (which, for some bizarre reason, is something I love to do at times). In this particular segment, the improv group […]

While Fulham needs a win in Basel today to advance to the knockout stage of the Europa League, Roy Hodgson doesn't seem to think this is a must-win game for his club. He told reporters on Monday that he planned to run out the reserves for this match, saying that his club "didn't enter the […]

Being born in the United Kingdom and having lived in the United States for more than 25 years, I've dealt with many years of jokes and abuse from Americans who tell me point blank what they think of Brits. After years of experience, I've heard so many stereotypes that Americans have about Brits that I […]

Have a friendly chat with a MLS Snob and one of the many criticisms you'll hear from them about the Premier League is that "Sure, the top teams are exciting to watch, but the bottom has teams that actually hurt your eyes to watch." While in the past this was true, especially in the days […]

ESPN's John Harkes addressed the media in Bristol, CT after the World Cup draw. Hear Harkes draw about the US and England teams. Don’t forget that the EPL Talk Podcast is the only Premier League interview and analysis podcast available for free. In the past few weeks, we’ve interviewed legends of the game such as […]

'Tis the season for soccer networks to be spreading good wishes to bloggers and business contacts at this special time of the year. Last week we showed you what the Fox Soccer Channel holiday card looked like. Now it's the turn of Setanta Sports (see above). If and when we get a holiday card from […]

The Azzurri will be in Group F along with Paraguay, Slovakia and New Zealand. The Italians are notorious for their slow starts in previous World Cup editions but this group should not pose much of a threat. The key is to properly deal with all three teams, in particular Paraguay and Slovakia as those two […]

This could lead to a heated debate as the implications transcend beyond choosing the best club to include the competitive nature of some of Europe's top leagues (namely the English Premier League, the Spanish la Liga and Italian Serie A). English and Italian fans may disagree but Barcelona's players have clearly staked a claim to […]

MLS Talk Correspondent Chris Riordan catches up with Jaime Moreno and Stuart Holden during a World Cup Draw Event in Washington DC. Hear about Holden's thoughts about playing in Europe, Moreno's experiences in MLS and much much more.
