In the first showdown between the two teams most likely to be challenging for major honours at the start of the season, Chelsea took one step closer to the Premiership title on Sunday after beating Manchester United 1-0 in a match many felt that United had to win. Chelsea are now 5 points clear of […]

When Fox Soccer Channel displayed the top half of the Premier League table on its channel last weekend after the Chelsea versus Manchester United match, eagle eyes EPL Talk reader Michael V. Miracolo noticed something unusual. Tottenham Hotspur wasn't listed in the top half of the table! It's not easy being a Tottenham Hotspur supporter […]

Another day, another dive. With a stilted Liverpool trailing a frisky Birmingham City at Anfield late, David N'Gog (pronounced like "own goal") sensationally split two defenders while charging in from the left. N'Gog then almost blew past Lee Carsley, but Carsley slid towards him, grazing the ball while managing to avoid any contact. N'Gog leapt, […]

I admit it. I was wrong. When Fox Soccer Channel announced in the Spring that they had acquired the US TV rights to the UEFA Champions League for the next three seasons, I recommended to the EPL Talk readers that Fox should hire the world feed that featured the UEFA commentary team instead of putting […]

Sorry for not posting this on Saturday, but it's been a busy weekend preparing for my trip to Las Vegas this week to attend a search marketing conference. Nevertheless, drumroll please, here are the winners of the copies of FIFA 10 and The Manager book by Barney Ronay: FIFA 10 winner: Bernard Cahill FIFA 10 […]

Major League Soccer's decision to conduct its semifinal playoff rounds at the same time as this international break has severely hamstrung Bob Bradley's selection. With two very interesting friendlies against European sides that have already qualified for next summer’s World Cup, these matchups would have provided an opportunity to test some of the best we have to […]

Chelsea’s Didier Drogba is a man who has a beautiful ability to make headlines, be it good or bad. This weekend, he was the victim of a shocking tackle, no, make that assault from Manchester United’s Johnny Evans. He then had the last laugh, darting across Edwin Van Der Sar in an offside position for […]

The number of football podcasts that are available on iTunes is staggering. In terms of quality, it's definitely a case of the good, the bad and the ugly. But if you're a football supporter of a Premier League club, you may find the following list helpful of the official podcasts that are avalable for each […]

This is one of the most bizarre things you can expect to see at a professional football match. With Chelsea leading 1-0 against Manchester United, Salomon Kalou was getting ready to come on for Didier Drogba in the 83rd minute of the game. However, who would have expected a Chelsea supporter to look so calm […]

Luca Toni departed the Italian league back in 2007 but it looks as if the striker could be leaving current club Bayern Munich pretty soon. Toni was subbed at half-time in the German giant's 1-1 draw with Schalke and reportedly opted to leave the Allianz Arena rather than watch the second-half from the bench with […]

This was one of those Premier League matches that had a draw written all over it that was crying out for just one decent attempt to puncture the dull game. And it finally came three-quarters into the match where John Terry headed the ball into the corner of the net. Yet again, Sir Alex Ferguson […]

It wasn't the prettiest of games, but it was enjoyable to watch. Reminiscent of old-style English football with plenty of balls kicked high and long, Hull City pulled off a last gasp winner to beat Stoke City 2-1 and to give manager Phil Brown a chance of remaining as manager of the Tigers just for […]

Following up from an earlier article I'd like to pose a question to all the non ex-pat North American readers of EPL Talk: How Did You Find Who You Support?
