If you run across any sports fans who call soccer a sissy sport, have them take a look at the above video which features 33 different soccer punch ups. Some of them will make you wince. But all of them show that the sport is not as amicable as some may think. The above video, […]

Friday's Bundesliga match featured high-flying Hannover 96 against St. Pauli at the AWD-Arena. Hannover's recent form has catipulted them to 3rd place in the Bundesliga table, and they would have been looking to continue their hot form with a comfortable win in front of their home support against St. Pauli. Unfortunately, the hosts were left […]

Last weekend's Premier League match between Manchester City and Chelsea, which was aired live on ESPN2 in the United States on Saturday, September 25 at 4:30am PT/7:30am ET, garnered a 0.3 rating and was viewed by a TV audience of 428,000. The game featured the debut of host Rebecca Lowe alongside pundit Steve McManaman as […]

Joachim Loew announced his squad today for the upcoming Euro 2012 qualifying matches against Turkey and Kazakhstan. A call-up for in-form Borussia Dortmund winger Kevin Grosskreutz will please Bundesliga fans who have been watching the young star of late, but omissions include Mats Hummels, Andre Scheurrle and Lewis Holtby, who have all been in top […]

The Bundesliga's Europa League contestants played out some very difficult ties tonight against strong opposition, with very little to choose between the sides. Borussia Dortmund suffered a poor home loss against Sevilla, while Bayer Leverkusen held on for a point at Atletico Madrid. Leverkusen managed an away win to Odense, which was a lot harder […]

For the 2010-11 Premier League season, TWI – the company who provides the feed and audio from the commentators for the matches – has been playing a new catchy jingle during goal highlights and sometimes before and after games. We finally tracked it down a few weeks ago and found that it's a song by […]

For this week's installment of Friday Flashback Videos, we head back to 1992 when Arsenal went to North Wales to play Wrexham in the FA Cup at the Racecourse Ground. At the time, Arsenal were second in the top flight of English football while Wrexham were 24th in the Fourth Division, which is the today's […]

The regular season is winding down, and while there's decreasing less doubt surrounding who will make Major League Soccer's playoffs, the Supporter's Shield – and the places behind it – are still up-for-grabs. To talk about that race, this weekend's matches, as well as the results from mid-week, I am joined by Christopher Riordan for […]

England was perfect in Champions League, fit to be tied in Europa League, but with the mid-week action behind us, it's time to look forward to the weekend's fixtures, with Arsenal's trip to Chelsea highlighting the seventh match day's schedule. On this edition of the EPL Talk podcast, I am joined by Kartik Krishnaiyer and […]

Arsenal's record against Chelsea last season was miserable. In the first match in November 2009, they were completely outplayed to such an extent that it really showed the gap in talent between both clubs. Chelsea won that match 3-0 at the Emirates. Then in February, Arsenal's hopes were dashed again when Drogba stormed to an […]

Time's ticking down to our 10 p.m. BST/5 p.m. EST/2 p.m. PST recording, where myself, Kartik Krishnaiyer and Laurence McKenna will be looking back on mid-week action and forward to this weekend in the Premier League. Of course, we're going to talk about United winning at the Mestalla. And of course, Arsenal's Sunday visit to […]

Wow, what a weekend Gameweek 6 was. The four Champions League sides really struggled, producing a single point amongst them, and Liverpool, even benefiting from a gift goal, could not win at Anfield. (Five demerits to me for not mentioning the exploding balloon match). I doubt any 27-year olds will be assigned for the reverse […]

Filmmaker Mike Jefferies, who is best known as the writer and producer of the movie trilogy, Goal, is on the warpath against Tom Hicks and George Gillett and want them to cease trying to get new funding to run and club, and to leave Liverpool FC. And now Jefferies is working on a short movie […]

I had a chance to do some self-reflection this past weekend. One of the few things I realized was that I'm a club man. When I think about English football, I think in terms of clubs and rarely focus on the individuals. Part of this realization was after listening to the EPL Talk Weekend Preview […]
