IT IS BACK! After a long and agonizing two weeks of soccer hell, Premier League football has returned. That two week spell was, for me, excruciating painful. Very few quality matches were on offer. There were far too many storylines that revolved around issues that had nothing to do with football on the pitch. But […]

Sky Sports were hounding Chelsea FC and its manager Roberto Di Matteo in yesterday's press conference, asking the pointed question whether John Terry would remain Chelsea captain.

You have to see this video to believe it. Unbelievably, the Serbian FA has released what appears to be a doctored video showing how wonderfully well behaved their supporters were during the mid-week Serbia against England u21 match. They've carefully crafted a highlight reel, which completely avoids all of the post final whistle monkey chanting […]

1. How do you think PES 2013 differentiates from FIFA 13, which is quite a competitor to come up against? "We differentiate the same way we have throughout our long time rivalry – the gameplay.

Here are today's Premier League news headlines: John Terry to miss next 4 matches after deciding not to appeal against racial abuse […]

FIFA 13 or PES 2013. Don’t know which to get? Let’s put these two games side by side and see how they compare. Licensing EA has almost every professional team in existence in the game. MLS fans can play it and now some of the Saudi fans can play their own leagues as well. While […]
