I know. I know. It’s only seven games into the season, but I guarantee there wasn’t anyone predicting that after seven matches Liverpool and Everton would be desperately trying to keep their noses ahead of Wolves and West Ham. At some point you have to the stop the “It’s only [insert number of matches] into […]

Borussia Dortmund were filled with the confidence of knowing that a win against Bayern Munich tonight would mean a massive dent in the champions' title hopes; Stuttgart were under pressure at home to Frankfurt after a start that leaves them bottom of the league with just three points; and Werder Bremen had the task of […]

Chelsea's bounce-back from their Manchester City loss is complete, though the same questions about Arsenal have resurfaced. On this edition of the EPL Talk Podcast, myself, Kartik Krishnaiyer and Laurence McKenna review Sunday's match at Stamford Bridge, Liverpool's new low, Nigel de Jong and Karl Henry's antics, and the rest of the action from around […]

Liverpool are, quite frankly, terrible. Seven games into the season, they have played exactly two halves of Champions League caliber football. Ten men against Arsenal was riveting, and the comeback against Manchester United raised some hopes, although in retrospect that is probably made to look better than it was by the score sheet. Now, how […]

We're hours ahead of our 10 p.m. BST/5 p.m. EST/2 p.m. PST start, where myself, Kartik Krishnaiyer and Laurence McKenna will talking about a truly interesting weekend of Premier League action. Chelsea and Arsenal gave us a decent match at Stamford Bridge, Liverpool gave us fodder for hysterics, and Nigel de Jong ... what will […]

Manchester City's Nigel De Jong committed another horror tackle in the Premier League Sunday. This time against Newcastle United's Hatem Ben Arfa. The tackle resulted in a broken leg and definitely dashes Newcastle's chances for the next few months. What is it about the Premier League where we see so many horrible tackles and broken […]

Before today, the last time Liverpool were in the bottom three of the Premier League was after the opening day of the very first Premier League season. That day they lost 1-0 to Nottingham Forest. But any team can be near the bottom after losing its opening fixture of a season. Prior to that, the […]

Tottenham playmaker Rafael van der Vaart is certainly enjoying his start to life in the Premier League. The Dutch midfielder, who signed for Spurs on deadline day from Real Madrid, completed an impressive week with an excellent brace in his side’s 2-1 win over Aston Villa yesterday. The double took his tally to four goals […]

Saturday night was a big night for the New York Red Bulls as they finally had destiny in their own hands. It was a big match for the club as they needed a single win to put themselves into the postseason and you thought this was going to be a goal fest from the beginning […]

Arsenal and Chelsea face each other in both club's biggest game of the season today. We'll get a chance to see whether Chelsea's loss to Manchester City was an anomaly or whether Chelsea is as human as they seem to be. Plus we'll get to see whether this season's Arsenal are the real deal or […]

Saturday's Bundesliga action featured the highs and the lows of Bundesliga life: from Mainz taking their winning streak to seven in a row and equalling the record for best Bundesliga start of all time, to Felix Magath's Schalke stumbling to a disappointing loss at Nurnberg. Sunday's action promises to be just as exciting. VfB Stuttgart […]

Karl Henry did Wolves and Mick McCarthy no favors on Saturday when his late tackle on Jordi Gomez resulted in a straight red card and left Wolverhampton Wanderers with ten men. In the video of the tackle (see above), you can see how Henry's hit sent the Spaniard flying into the air. Luckily Gomez was […]

A Saturday goal-fest in the Bundesliga made for some very interesting results. Table-topping Mainz hosted Hoffenheim; Borussia Monchengladbach hosted VfL Wolfsburg; HSV hosted promoted side Kaiserslautern; Schalke travelled to Nurnberg; and Freiburg hosted Koln. Mainz 4 – 2 TSG Hoffenheim Mainz's incredible form continues with their seventh straight win of the season, which equals the […]

There are plenty of classic traditional matches today in the Premier League. Aston Villa versus Tottenham, West Brom against Bolton, West Ham v Fulham, Stoke against Blackburn, Man United versus Sunderland and others. And I expect many of them to be very entertaining. As the action unfolds today, feel free to post your questions, observations […]
