The Premier League season has ground to a halt as the first international break of the season means that there will be no Premier League or Championship fixtures this weekend. Whilst only a small percentage of fans that would normally travel to watch their club play will be at Wembley to see England play Bulgaria, […]

Arsenal supporters could blame Shay Given for their club's inability to sign a much-needed goalkeeper in the summer transfer window, but I really feel the blame needs to be aimed squarely at the shoulders of Arsenal Football Club. They needed to have a Plan B in place. They did not. And it's very possible that […]

As England get set to play Bulgaria at Wembley on Friday a large section of the UK media will be sharpening its knives ready to plunge them into Fabio Capello. There is a sizeable majority of the media who would be only too pleased to see England lose to Bulgaria as it would ensure his […]

The summer transfer window in the Premier League has ended, and surprisingly The Other 16 clubs in the Premier League showed their muscle Tuesday by capturing most of the transfer headlines. Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal were deathly quiet. Instead, it was the turn of clubs such as Sunderland, Stoke City, Birmingham City and Wigan […]

Finally, after almost two years to the day, Manchester City have washed their hands of the great lame duck – Robinho. It's been a great mystery to the Premier League as to why the £32.5 million man failed to perform to his potential at Eastlands. While some might say it was the culture or the […]

Wolfsburg playmaker Zvjezdan Misimovic has completed a move to Turkey with Galatasaray after having his first-team place with Die Wolfe taken by new arrival Diego. Misimovic moved to Wolfsburg from Nurnberg in 2008, and helped Die Wolfe to the Bundesliga title under ex-manager Felix Magath. Misimovic's off the ball movement and creativity was an essential […]

Before we even get into the swing of things the Premier League is taking a break for European qualifiers. But in the absence of EPL action this weekend it seems like an appropriate time to reflect on the early stages of league play. So far, Chelsea can't be stopped at home, Blackpool are no pushovers, and, […]

Markus Rosenberg, who scored the vital goal in Werder Bremen's Champions League qualifying match against Sampdoria, has today been loaned out to Racing Santander in La Liga for more consistent first-team opportunities. This summer, Werder Bremen have signed Austrian striker Marko Arnautovic, as well as German prospect Felix Kroos, and so Rosenberg's first-team opportunities would […]

Hoffenheim have snapped up Iceland and Reading wonderkid Gylfi Sigurdsson for a fee believed to be around 5 million euros. Sigurdsson had recently made himself a key player for Reading, impressing especially during Reading's FA Cup run where they defeated Premier League side Liverpool in dramatic fashion. Sigurdsson has been purchased to replace attacking midfielder […]

Schalke have added creative midfielder Jose Jurado to their ranks after signing Dutch striker Klaas-Jan Huntelaar earlier in the day. Jurado will have cost Schalke another 13 million Euros, so Magath's side are certainly splashing the cash to combat their very poor start to the Bundesliga season. Jurado has been at Atletico Madrid for four […]

Prolific Dutch striker Klaas-Jan Huntelaar has completed a move today to the Bundesliga with Schalke, where he will rejoin former Real Madrid teammates Christoph Metzelder and Raul. Huntelaar had been on the outs at Milan for some time now after failing to secure a first-team place, and the signing of Zlatan Ibrahimovic further reduced Huntelaar's […]

Juventus and Italy winger Mauro Camoranesi has today been snapped up by Stuttgart on a one-year loan deal with the option to sign on for another season. Camoranesi's first-team place at Juventus was filled by new signings Milos Krasic and Simone Pepe, so the experienced winger was forced to move on to secure regular playing […]

Every single Premier League match was available for us to watch live thanks to a combination of Fox Soccer Channel, ESPN2, Fox Soccer Plus and FoxSoccer.tv. And knowing that we would be on an international break for the next two […]

I'm chucking work and heading to the UK in October. I'm putting my money where my loud mouth is. Months and years are creeping by far too fast. My twenties are oh so close to a fleeting memory in my mind while I continue to count the long gray hairs that emerge from my dark […]

I don’t think Lampard is done anymore than I think that about Terry or Gerrard, but EPL Talk blogger Jesse Chula raised an interesting point about how long England can stick with the “Golden Generation” and realistically expect success. The same question might just as easily be asked about their club teams and the teams […]
