Don't be surprised if the Manchester United Supporters Trust (MUST) won't be too happy about the latest move regarding the famous Red Devils club. American businessman George Soros has bought a 7.85% stake in Manchester United. The Hungarian-born billionaire has a net worth of $20 billion. Here are today's Premier League news headlines: George Soros […]

It’s not very often you can win 5-0 in one of the most competitive leagues in the world and get almost no recognition of your achievement, but it’s happened to Fulham this Saturday. Sitting joint top of the Premier League after the opening weekend, the action at Craven Cottage has been largely ignored, overshadowed by […]

Awake the sleeping giant! Sunderland, who has been painfully quiet in this summer transfer window, is on the verge of signing Adam Johnson, Jermaine Jenas and Danny Rose in a mad scramble to add some talent and depth to a Sunderland side. Maybe the club is finally feeling the pressure and complaints from supporters? Whatever […]

In the next 11 days, we'll find out whether Clint Dempsey has an opportunity to progress his career by moving to a bigger club, or not. Dempsey has forced Fulham into accepting offers for his transfer out of Craven Cottage. But will any clubs make a bid for the player valued at 10million? Or will […]

In the first Monday night match of the Premier League season, Everton takes on Manchester United at Goodison Park at 3pm ET/8pm BST (live on ESPN2 and ESPN3.com for readers in the United States). All eyes today will be on the expected debut of Robin van Persie. I wouldn't be surprised if the Dutch striker […]

3 Red Cards. A fight. A penalty retaken. These things, when combined, might be seen in one full weekend of action in any other soccer league in the world. Yet it all happened in a single night of Major League Soccer action. Truth-be-told, it all happened in a single game. Last night's 1-1 draw between hosts D.C. […]

On his Saturday radio talk show this past weekend, Stan Collymore quipped, "You've got to spend big to win big." Ain't that the truth! Or is it, really? Saturday's convincing 5-0 win by Swansea at Loftus Road was a perfect dream start for Swansea's duo of new signings — Chico Flores and Michu — and […]

“United need a new Roy Keane!” blares the tabloid press. “Arsenal has to have an heir to Patrick Vieira’s throne!” an ex-player opines. “Chelsea must find someone for the ‘Makelele’ position!” A pundit enthuses. Time and time again we’ve heard of the top clubs’ need for a ball-winning, defensive midfielder. There are a multitude of […]

Chelsea's young and talented midfielder Josh McEachran has been shipped out of Chelsea again. Last season, the skillful footballer was shipped out in the January transfer window to Swansea where he saw very little playing time. And now McEachran has joined Middlesbrough on a season-long loan. He'll adapt well to Tony Mowbray's style at Boro, […]

It was an eventful night at Red Bull Arena as the Red Bulls were continuing to chase top of the east Sporting Kansas City for that number one spot, and it took a defender to get the winning goal late in the second half. A corner was won by the Red Bulls as Thierry Henry […]

Over the weekend, Sir Alex Ferguson promised another signing before the transfer window closed. And he has delivered with the signing of left back Alexander Buttner from Vitesse Arnhem in the Eredivisie. I haven't personally had an opportunity to watch Buttner in action, but buying cover for left back Patrice Evra is a sound move […]

Arsenal was earmarked as potential dark horses in the title race before the loss of Robin van Persie. Now without Van Persie, the hope for a title challenge has suddenly disappeared and has been replaced with doubts of Champions League qualification for next year. Is this valid or a premature assessment of Arsenal? The weekend […]

On the first Sunday of the Premier League 2012-13 season, we have Wigan versus Chelsea (8:30am ET on FOX Soccer) followed by Manchester City against Southampton (11am ET, also on FOX Soccer). On paper, these should be two comfortable wins for Chelsea and Manchester City, but I wouldn't discount either Southampton or Wigan Athletic. While the […]

There's been quite a lot of backlash recently against Rio Ferdinand from many, myself included. There's been far too much talking from him this summer, but he hasn't been walked the walk recently. And now it looks like he'll be more spending more time on Twitter after an injury that could keep Ferdinand out of […]

An average of 2.71 goals per game was a brilliant way to kick off the 2012-13 Premier League season. In the first day of the new season, there were plenty of brilliant goals and action-packed games.
