After a midweek full of international friendlies and World Cup qualifiers, the domestic leagues in Europe were back in action over the weekend. The 24th week of the Serie A saw 7 of 10 matches end in a draw but we don't give the TOW award to teams that draw. So this week's winner of […]

Chelsea announced a £65.7m loss for last year, a staggering sum, particularly as it marks an improvement over the loose-pursed past.

In what can only be described as a tragedy of epic proportions for MLS and the club, DC United today announced its intent to build a stadium in Prince George's County Maryland. Give credit to PG's county for stepping up but a big MLS Talk dart to the District of Columbia and DC Council for […]

358 days have passed since one of the worst injuries I've ever seen in a live game was sustained by Eduardo Da Silva against Birmingham City on February 23rd 2008. It make me cringe, I was shocked and stunned and urged the medical staff on to help him as quickly as they could. The players […]
