Cesc Fabregas came on as a second-half substitute to completely turn this game in Arsenal's favor by first scoring a sublime free kick from outside the area and second, by latching on to an exquisite Theo Walcott pass to secure all three points for the Gunners. But immediately after scoring the second goal, Fabregas pulled […]

If you blinked, you may have missed it. But in Tuesday's Daily Telegraph, Manchester United captain Gary Neville said he believed that an outsider could win the Premier League. "I think the Premier League is getting stronger, with teams like Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur and Villa spending a lot of money," said Neville. "It's difficult […]

It's that time of the year when not only your friends or family send holiday cards, but so do your favorite Premier League clubs. I subscribe to lists for most of the Premier League clubs so I can stay on top of the latest news, so here are the ones I've received thus far for […]

During the takeover of Manchester City last summer, City's Chief Executive, Gary Cook made several rather tasteless comments but one stood out above all the others for me. During an interview with the Daily Telegraph, Cook was outlining City's plan for world domination. As Wednesday's defeat at Tottenham showed, sometimes things don't go to plan. […]

There have been very few if any boring Premier League weekends so far this season, and this Saturday was another example of why this is one of the most entertaining leagues in the world. Here are my observations from the Saturday games I've watched thus far:

Okay, admit it. Even though you thoroughly enjoy watching the Premier League, especially your favorite team each week, there are often times when you're not too bothered about missing a match on television featuring teams that either don't excite you or that you're not interested in. But which team in particular do you dread watching […]

In the annals of Arsenal's history, one name conjures images of a bygone era, baggy shorts and a dead eye for goal. In the record books, his name still stands alone for the most goals scored in one season, with 44 in the 1934-35 season. In the modern era, first Ian Wright and then Thierry […]

How is it that an international striker with 16 goals in 34 games for his country and a Premiership strike rate of one goal in under every 3 games simply keeps being moved on? Now I could understand it if the player in question was a boorish, thuggish hooligan who whines about not being treated […]

When we had to put up with the on/off Gareth Barry transfer saga all last season, one of the key facts throughout the drama was that Barry wanted to play Champions League football. It was a purely football based decision to want to leave Aston Villa, though the fact that his best mate Steven Gerrard […]

With Newcastle teetering over the relegation trap door, skipper Michael Owen will lead a mass exodus at the club, should they fall through it into the Championship on Sunday. With Owen out of contract it is likely that he will leave the club in the summer regardless. The question is where will he go? A […]

With another season drawing to a close and the usual suspects in their normal places in the top four, isn't it about time that the second level of teams finally pushed up to join them? With Everton once again in a Europa League place, Villa making massive strides, despite the fall away they suffered after […]

Those who would purify English football believe the current debauchery and debt stems from foreign ownership. That is not necessarily true. American billionaire Stan Kroenke bought out the Carr family shares in Arsenal for about £45m, increasing his stake in the club to 28.3%, the largest individual holding. Despite the Guardian’s assertions that this is […]

As Aston Villa's European dreams come to a halt, manager Martin O'Neill says he would allow Gareth Barry to move on if the midfielder so desires. Once again, Barry is expected to request a move to Liverpool. We all remember the tiresome saga of his transfer attempt last summer when Liverpool tried to unload Xabi […]

When Roy Keane walked out of the Stadium of Light back in December, they had 15 points from 15 games. He'd become exasperated as his expensively recruited side simply hadn't gelled as quickly as he'd hoped and felt he couldn't inspire them from the insipid performances they'd shown, especially in his last game in charge, […]

Well interesting news has appeared this morning as Bolton chairman, Phil Gartside's has put forward a proposal to increase the Premiership to two leagues of 18 teams with 14 clubs from the Championship and Rangers and Celtic. The proposal is to be put before the Premier League at their meeting this Thursday and it raises some interesting points. Gartside […]
