It was quite a bizarre weekend for Premier League football. The first half of the Arsenal against Manchester United match was played at such a scintillating pace that it was a joy to watch as both teams played attractive football and there were chances galore. Contrast that with the methodical and uninspiring match between Birmingham […]

Following intense speculation the last few days regarding the future of talented forward Antonio Cassano, it has been confirmed the player will remain in Genoa despite the lingering issues with Sampdoria Coach Luigi Del Neri. Cassano started the season in fine form but gradually faded away as the club began to struggle to achieve results. […]

It sounds too simple, but the difference between Arsenal and Manchester United on Sunday was finishing. Both teams had several chances in front of goal. Manchester United scored most of them. Arsenal missed all of them except for one deflection. There were several shots from Arsenal that skimmed past the post or straight at Edwin […]

Share your opinions about today's heated game between Arsenal and Manchester United in the comments section below. What was your opinion about the final result? Also, the surge of web traffic from the game resulted in EPL Talk crashing under the weight this morning. My apologies for that. We're getting two brand new servers to […]

It was a weekend that was at times as smooth as a Guti backheel, as bleak as a cold stare from the lugubrious one and as heroic as a late winner off the head of a man who looks to save face for club and country. There was a relegation 6-pointer and a massive title […]

After World Cup 2006, we observed a remarkable growth in the sport here in the United States. I am proud to have been associated with the EPL Talk Network since the fall of 2006, and to have been the founding writer of this website, MLS Talk. As someone who has been deeply passionate about my […]

I’m a native German writer and an enthusiastic fan of Eintracht Frankfurt. Whenever I got the opportunity to visit a game in the Commerzbank Arena, I take this opportunity. Last match-day I visited the match against Cologne. Stadium: Commerzbank Arena ( Eintracht Frankfurt) Attendance: 45,100 Ticket-Price: Main stand – 23 Euro (32 US-Dollars/ 20 […]

In host Kartik Krishnaiyer's final show, Jamie Trecker of FOX Sports breaks down last week's US-Honduras game and breaks down the roster and prospects for the 2010 World Cup.

Franco Baresi is one of the first names to come to anybody’s mind when you mention the Libero (or sweeper) position, simply because he was the on-field general and symbol of Arrigo Sacchi’s great Milan side in the late 1980s; a side that arguably boasted one of the greatest defences of all time. Bearing in […]

Liverpool v. Bolton. Alright. As I'm starting this it's nearly 2am here on the east side of America so I'm going to reel off a few hundred words before bed. Sorry for the brevity compared to my usual output, but kickoff is eight hours away and this writer needs some sleep. But I do want […]

The Serie A season has perhaps been overshadowed by the struggles of Juventus which have culminated in the firing of Coach Ciro Ferrara. While it has been gloomy in Turin, the city of Milan has witnessed the revival of the Rossoneri but more importantly the continued dominance of the Nerazzurri on the domestic scene. Coach […]

One of the unique characteristics of La Liga is that after the first half of the season, the second half schedule is a carbon copy of the first half, except that the away team will now be the home team. Thus, all those teams who did not achieve the result they desired will have a […]

In the third part (of three) in our series on Major League Soccer's labor negotiations, I talked to Major League Soccer Talk contributor Brian Zygo. After talking to legal and sports business experts in the series' first two parts, I've asked Brian on the show to help bring the issues back to the pitch. Bring […]

The video below, which was spotted by our pals at 101 Great Goals, was taken at Old Trafford during Manchester United's 4-0 win over Hull City last weekend. In the video, we can see many United supporters sporting green and gold — the colors of Newton Heath FC, which was the original club name of […]

Barring a flood of deals in the last couple of days, this will go down as one of the quietest transfer windows in recent years. So far there have been very few actual sales with the majority of deals being short-term loan stints with options to buy later. The biggest deals I've seen announced have […]
