It used to be a lot easier. All top flight matches used to be played on a Saturday at 3pm GMT. There were no early kick-offs. No late kick-offs and, heaven forbid, no Sunday matches. Now, of course, everything has been turned upside down. Because only a few of the matches are played at the […]

It's been the same story from Liverpool and Arsenal all season. To become Premier League champions, both teams lack the consistency needed not only in their results, but also in their performances on the pitch. Saturday was another perfect example as both teams underwhelmed against opposition they should have beaten. The moment Arsenal stepped into […]

And it was the Arsenal fans that were booing him. Watch the highlights here, if you missed them. But while Eboue had a disaster of a day, how does […]

It's quite odd that in some circles Sunderland's near draw against Manchester United at Old Trafford this past Saturday is being heralded as a massive achievement. What I saw was one of the most negative and anti-soccer performances in ages. For the entire 90 minutes, Sunderland "parked their bus" in front of their goal and […]

Is it me or does it seem like none of the Big Four want to win the Premier League title this season? Just when Liverpool gain momentum, they stumbled to another nil nil draw at Anfield Monday night against West Ham United.

For the first 60 minutes at Stamford Bridge on Sunday, the game looked remarkably familiar. Chelsea were passing the ball beautifully around the pitch. Wonderful movement off the ball.
