This is one of those league tables where football fans may not want their club to do that well since it could indicate how greedy a club is. But football today is a business, and when it comes down to the business of making money, commercial departments are extremely vital. Other than doing sponsorship deals, […]

Sometimes it's hard to believe because they monopolize the Premier League so much, but the Big Four in England have not always been the big four. Chelsea only joined the ranks in 2003. Prior to that, the league was topped by the Big Three or Big Two depending on Liverpool's inconsistent form. To understand how […]

In celebration of the city of Liverpool being Europe's Capital of Culture, Goodison Park is the home for an unusual figurine: A lambanana! Named the Super St Domingo Lamb Banana, the figure was erected this morning in front of the Dixie Dean statue outside Goodison Park. Part banana, part lamb, the structure is one of […]

Everton will be playing two friendlies in the United States this summer. According to ToffeeWeb, the club is rumored to be playing against Chicago Fire on July 30th and Colorado Rapids on August 3rd. Last July, Everton played a friendly against Real Salt Lake and trained at the Home Depot Center outside Los Angeles, California. […]

As I sat down to watch the Champions League Final this past Wednesday, the first thought that entered my mind was how the final in Moscow was a preview of what the Premier League's global expansion could look like. Football chairmen and tycoons around the world must have wondered too how they could get their […]

Arsenal beat Bolton 3-2 at the Reebok, keeping mathematical title hopes alive. The Gunners, with 10 men on the pitch, scored three goals to reverse a 2-0 deficit. Diaby deserved his red card for raised studs. Poor fortune averaged itself through an unmarked corner, a penalty and a deflection. Cristiano Ronaldo is the best in […]

Birmingham 4 – Tottenham 1 Spurs tried on the big boy pants, only to end up wearing them around their ankles. They had a sick party last weekend. This weekend they were simply sick. The rear guard is rubbish. Robinson has evolved from awfully fat to just awful. They are closer to the relegation zone […]

In the least shocking news of the week, Chelsea's John Obi Mikel picked up yet another red card for a shockingly bad tackle. This time it was a sliding tackle and though the challenge was one-footed, Mikel came in with his studs up (and nowhere near the ball) on Everton's Phil Neville. This was the […]

The FA Cup Third Round relieved us from the dreariness of our normal robust Premier League schedule to enthrall us with live riveting matches like Pompey-Ipswich and grant us the opportunity to pay top dollar to watch Villa-Utd. All 20 Premier League clubs participated at the weekend and here are their performances ranked in order. […]

Before I get started, a quick correction on yesterday's post – QPR's deals for Connolly and Ephraim are permanent moves and not just loan deals. I also neglected to mention a couple of "future star" signings that were made by Chelsea, Everton, Liverpool and Manchester United as well as deals done by Tottenham and Bolton. […]

Berbatov pads stats Against weaker opponents Bad news for Reading West Ham shocked Manchester United 2-1 at Upton Park. It was West Ham's third consecutive victory over United in the League. The result was a bit unfair to Man U, who controlled much of the match. They had a chance to seal the victory foiled […]

Robbie Keane bitches He whines he wanks he whinges Bottles when it counts Arsenal squeaked out a 2-1 win over Tottenham in the North London Derby. They were not very convincing, but, unlike last season, it was an unconvincing win. The match began rather creepily with a friendly handshake between Ramos and Wenger. Gunners fans […]

The Carling Cup semifinal draw was made last night after Chelsea's 2-0 win over Liverpool at Stamford Bridge.The semifinal round will be contested over two legs, with the team that scores the most goals over both games advancing to the final.
