"There's only one Titus Bramble" chanted the Wigan faithful, and he made the difference, earning a point in their 1-1 draw with Liverpool. Torres scored the initial goal, which salvaged Liverpool a point, but they have to be extremely disappointed with yet another poor result at "fortress" Anfield, winning only four of ten. Any persistent […]

Phew. After a jampacked holiday schedule that came fast and furious, fans and players alike now get a chance to catch their breath as the next round of games doesn't come until the 12th. The Carling Cup semifinals and the 3rd Round of the FA Cup will have to tide everyone over until then and […]

Norman Hubbard of ESPN Soccernet has written an interesting article on who he thinks have been the worst players of the season so far. Personally, most of the article is spot on but there are a few choices that I don't agree with. Liverpool – Peter Crouch. Has Hubbard not seen Sissoko play this season? […]

Before I get started, a quick correction on yesterday's post – QPR's deals for Connolly and Ephraim are permanent moves and not just loan deals. I also neglected to mention a couple of "future star" signings that were made by Chelsea, Everton, Liverpool and Manchester United as well as deals done by Tottenham and Bolton. […]

In the fifteen year history of the Premier League, only one club outside of the four horse race has ever won the Premiership title. That was Blackburn Rovers during the 1993-94 season. The chances of a club from outside the top four lifting the trophy in the future are practically nil. So, to recognize those […]

Legendary commentator Martin Tyler summed it up best in tonight's Bolton against Derby match when he mentioned how so many late goals happen in Premier League matches. Just minutes after delivering the commentator's curse, Bolton's Stelios Giannakopoulos scored the only goal of the match which dealt a cruel, cruel blow to Derby County. The Rams, […]

The transfer window has started and I'll be covering all the moves and rumours over the next couple of weeks. So far, the deals have been largely loan moves of Premier League squad players to Championship sides. Queens Park Rangers have been the busiest, wrapping up loan deals for West Ham's Hogan Ephraim, Arsenal's Matthew […]

The masterminds at Setanta Sports have released a new episode of "I'm On Setanta Sports," the hit new parody show starring Jose Mourinho. Here's the latest hilarious episode:

Episode 98 of the EPL Talk Podcast is now available complete with best wishes for 2008 and a quick recap of some of the stories that are catching everyone's attention in the Premier League. It's been a few weeks since the last episode, but we'll be back soon. [display_podcast]

Reports out of Europe indicate that Luis Figo has signed a contract with AEG. This is interesting because unless I read MLS rules incorrectly the Galaxy cannot sign another designated player. That would mean Figo is headed to Houston and my understanding is that Dom Kinnear wasn't really entertaining the thought of a DP. Of […]

I know this sounds corny but in the holiday season of giving, that's exactly what the Premiership did as this was the most exciting week of soccer, at least that I can remember, in 2007 as far as England's top league goes.As we all know, the Christmastime schedule is packed with teams playing three or four games in the […]

Manager Fashion Statement of the Year: Sam Allardyce's Pink Scarf Big Sam has been coming up short in the league this season, but not in this category. He had some tough competition from Avram Grant (Entirely Black Wardrobe), Paul Jewell (Sweatshirt/Popped Collar Dress Shirt) and Alan Curbishley (Track Suit). But, in the end, the ridiculous […]

Best Player: Cristiano Ronaldo, Manchester United It's difficult to argue with this one. Even if he does score a number of goals on penalties, he still produces a striker's tally from midfield and, unlike Frank Lampard, he manages to look skillful while doing it. The scariest thing is that he is only going to get […]

Berbatov pads stats Against weaker opponents Bad news for Reading West Ham shocked Manchester United 2-1 at Upton Park. It was West Ham's third consecutive victory over United in the League. The result was a bit unfair to Man U, who controlled much of the match. They had a chance to seal the victory foiled […]

Manchester United has a severe weakness in the back. In their matches against West Ham and Everton, Man United has let in three goals. All three of them have been headers (Cahill, A. Ferdinand and Upson) from crosses into the box. It's something for Fergie and Quieroz to work on with the defenders during training […]
