Tottenham Hotspur has unveiled their new shirts for the 07/08 season. But in a move that's bound to irate many Spurs fans, the club has released four different jerseys, one of which is a special 125th anniversary shirt (click for larger image).

Last week it was Aston Villa updating its crest. This week it's Middlesbrough. The northeast club has decided to follow a similar tactic to Villa by unveiling a radically different logo that plays up the team's proud history. While I liked Aston Villa's new crest, I'm not won over by Boro's new one. To me, […]

Here's the email and the question: […]

It's the time of the year when the Premiership clubs begin announcing dates for their preseason friendlies. In the United States, of course, we're keeping our eyes out for matches involving English teams coming here. But, so far, the majority of teams are focusing their efforts on the Far East in lieu of the States. […]

Aston Villa has announced the second match of its North American tour. Villa is scheduled to play against Columbus Crew in a friendly on Saturday, July 28 at the Columbus Crew stadium. Since the match will be on a Saturday night, it's likely that it may be televised. The match may be the closest that […]

Wow that Messi goal seems like a long time ago, and to add the fact that they were virtually assured a spot to play Sevilla in the Copa del Rey final. No one expected this historic turnaround- not here. Not now. Not them. It seemed like so Balboa-esque to see Getafe win, not just win […]

By John NicholsonPalm Springs, for a pallid white kid from the industrial wastelands of the north east of England is about as close to Eden as I'm likely to get. As I write its 90 degrees in the shade, the pool at the villas I'm staying at is blue and inviting and the beers are […]

Dempsey's first EPL goal after a dissapointing beginning to his EPL career could not have come at a better time. Fulham stays up thanks to this game winning goal.
