One of the most fascinating moves this summer was Internazionale's hiring of Jose Mourinho as manager after Roberto Mancini was sacked despite winning the title. Mourinho has built a strong reputation in a short time and I am interested to see if he can push Inter further in the Champions League. They've struggled in recent […]

The lone American goal scorer from World Cup 2006 now has consistently played so poorly for the national team if the opponent is not Barbados, that his presence seems to actually help stagnate the side. Dempsey’s last good performance for the National Team against a decent opponent was last October in Switzerland. At the time […]

Admit it. There are some players in the Premier League who get under your skin. The type of players you love to hate. But who are they and why do you hate them so much? Names of players who often get fans irate include: Ashley Cole (Chelsea) John Terry (Chelsea) Frank Lampard (Chelsea) El Hadji […]

Manchester United's 1-0 victory at Portsmouth earlier this afternoon concluded the second round of fixtures in the Premiership. It would be foolish to read too much into the standings at this point in this season, but it's still interesting to see the likes of Hull City and Newcastle near the top of the table while […]

Welcome back to Bundesliga Statistics for week two. Standing alone at the head of the table? Newly promoted TSG 1899 Hoffenheim with two wins from their first two games. Astounding stuff, but we're here to talk numbers not newcomers. Last week five categories were featured, this week it's been expanded to eight. Furthermore the categories […]

It's Bank Holiday Monday in Britain today where those lucky Brits are at the seaside or relaxing while the rest of the world is working. Down near the coast, Portsmouth will be entertaining Manchester United at Fratton Park, which is usually a very tricky place for United to get all three points. After Pompey's thrashing […]

Everyone is used to hearing the Premiership being called the best league in the world, I disagree, I don’t even think it’s the best in its own country! At the beginning of the season you can be pretty sure of predicting the top four in the Premiership, and usually it’s a two horse race for […]

It took more than 90 minutes but the outcome was similar to their last win back in 2006, as Internazionale are winners of the first Cup of the season, walking away with Super Cup silverware yesterday evening. New signing Sulley Muntari scored first for home-side Inter in the 18th minute (what an amazing start for him as […]

I'm On Setanta Sports has returned with the second episode of the new season featuring a heartfelt Berba Appeal by Wayne Rooney. Jose Mourinho and Sven-Goran Eriksson star alongside The Boy, as well as the usual cast of callers. Have a great week. Be champions!

Going to see a football match at Old Trafford, Goodison Park, Stamford Bridge or any other ground in the Premier League is a far different experience than what happened 20 years ago. No more terracing. No violence between the opposing sets of fans, and no more cheap tickets that would allow a larger percentage of […]

If you're interested in spending a few carefree minutes playing an online football game, one that's worth playing is Match's Super League. While the game looks pretty simple and slightly unappealing at first, it quickly becomes extremely addictive. You play against fictitious clubs in your mini-league as you try to become champions. Some of the […]

You may have missed an article by Oliver Kay in The Times this past weekend that featured a very revealing interview with Manchester City executive chairman Garry Cook regarding the future of the Premier League. The headline perfectly sums up Kay's article: "Vision Of A Breakaway League With No Relegation." Here are the revealing quotes […]
