Sunday's Premier League matches features three fascinating matches, a wonderful trio of Stoke against Man United, Liverpool versus Blackburn and Manchester City against Arsenal. All three matches have big ramifications. Will Manchester United will be able to bounce back from a week of controversy against Stoke? Will Liverpool beat Blackburn to keep Hodgson's job safe […]

With the champions stuttering yesterday away to Hamburg, some of the league's stronger sides had the opportunity this Saturday to take a lead over Die Roten and confirm their title aspirations. Also, the relegation dogfight got a little bit scrappier as some of the league's less fortunate sides were condemned to further defeats. Here are […]

In many ways, I prefer that most of the Big Four teams play on Sunday because it gives me a better chance of seeing the Other 16 on a Saturday. Of course, the Big Four is in flux, but Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United still draw the most eyeballs. So, on Saturday, I had […]

Viewers watching Saturday's match between West Bromwich Albion and Fulham may have been wondering who the team in green was. It was the debut of Fulham's third kit, which is green with gold trim.

Louis van Gaal's side were lucky to leave the Imtech Arena with anything at all after Die Roten were outplayed by their hosts for large parts of the match. Bayern Munich's inability to sustain periods of possession nearly cost them, but some heroic goalkeeping from Hans-Jorg Butt and a little bit of paint off the […]

So that's it, then? Wayne Rooney re-signed at Manchester United. Now, the dickie birds may sing again. A lone cow forages on pastures still green. But isn't his dramatic u-turn just a little bit fishy? In a bureaucratic footballing environment populated by massive clubs and billions of dollars, there's almost always more than what meets […]

Bayern Munich will be looking to continue their recent good form with an away win here over Hamburg. Louis van Gaal will be well aware that if his side drop any more points, they will be too far behind the pack leaders to defend their Bundesliga crown. Hamburg currently occupy 5th place, and hold a […]

On Thursday night it all came down to one final match in the regular season.

It's incredible to consider how soccer video games have evolved from the early 1980s to the latest versions of FIFA and Pro Evolution Soccer. The realism of today's games blows everything away from the past, but it's important to consider where we came from to better appreciate today. Even if the graphics of old games […]
