Today I was a Sampdoria fan, I cheered wildly for them, and I hated Werder Bremen with all my heart. It was partly nationalistic, and mostly due to the fact that I wanted to see Cassano in the Champions League. But Sampdoria didn't make it through, they lost in the most heartbreaking of manners, taking […]

Roma are currently considered the anti-Inter, a team which invigorates itself with spirit in the sole purpose of defeating Inter Milan. And while last season started all wrong, Ranieri picked up the team and drove them to a resounding 2nd place. So plenty of fans are now hoping that starting with Ranieri this season will […]

On Monday morning on the 23rd of August the rossoneri and their faithful were a perfect example of mimic tranquillity. Far from a position as bad as that which Juventus are in but nowhere near the good one their city rivals Internazionale enjoy the club and the fans had assumed a middle position, they were […]

After Hoffenheim's excellent season opener against Werder Bremen, where the side from Sinsheim dispatched their Champions League-bound opponents by a score of 4-1, Hoffe's Brazilian midfield playmaker Carlos Eduardo has completed a move to Russian side Rubin Kazan. Carlos Eduardo joined Hoffenheim in 2007 from Brazilian side Gremio. When Carlos Eduardo made his move to […]

Theo Walcott's hat-trick against Blackpool on Saturday assured that the young winger would grab the majority of the headlines, and rightly so, but Arsenal's demolition of Blackpool was far from a one-man show. Pulling the strings quietly and with an elegance and vision which seemed to had vanished last season after 18 months robbed to […]

Werder Bremen would have known they had a job on their hands even after their 3-1 victory over Sampdoria in the first leg of their Champions League qualifying tie. With Sampdoria scoring a late away goal back in Germany through the ever-prolific Giampaolo Pazzini, they would only need two in Italy to put the Germans […]

After week two of the Barclay's Premier League the goals have continued to flow. Chelsea are off to the best start for any club in England's top division since 1888 and there have already been four games with at least six goals scored. This seemed like a high time to debut EPL Talk's official power […]

A scoreline of six nil in the Premier League is more common now than a one nil. So far this season, we've seen four 6-0 scores and only two 1-0 results. Congratulations to Chelsea (2), Arsenal and Newcastle United for accomplishing this rare task. And commiserations to Wigan, West Bromwich Albion, Blackpool and Aston Villa. […]

I came across this new video spot for Fox Soccer Channel yesterday that I thought I'd share with you. It features footage that captures the mood and spirit of attending a Premier League game in England. Everything from the supporters making their way to the ground to Wayne Rooney provoking the crowd into hysterics. The […]

Generally, football matches are won by the team with the better players. It's not a game that upon first glance seems to lend itself to a great deal of tactics, a team just tries to send the ball to it's most talented goal scorer by any legal means. Yet people like Jose Mourinho have taken […]

Wigan Athletic today unveiled their new away jersey for the 2010-11 Premier League season. The new away kit will be worn for the first time tonight in their Carling Cup game against Hartlepool United. Modeled by new signing Steven Caldwell, the new Wigan away shirt is black with gold trim and is manufactured and designed […]

Raise your hand if you knew that an English Football Hall of Fame existed. If you're anything like me, it's likely you didn't have a clue about the Hall that is currently being relocated to Manchester from the National Football Museum in Preston. I recently received a tweet from an EPL Talk reader asking that […]

Joe Hart's triple save Monday night for Manchester City against Liverpool as well as his heroic saves for City against Tottenham Hotspur on the opening day of the season have been the difference for City thus far this season. City would definitely have lost against Spurs if it wasn't for Hart. And the scoreline in […]

Named one of this blog's most surprising teams of 2009-2010, Parma not only survived their first season back in Serie A but finished eighth, two spots ahead of the team that finished before them in Serie B and three points behind Juventus. The club scored in all but nine of their Serie A matches last […]
