It's no surprise that last Saturday's Wolverhampton Wanderers against Aston Villa tie didn't garner a massive audience on ESPN2. In fact, it was the third lowest viewed match of the season on ESPN2. Here are the Nielsen ratings for the Premier League matches televised by ESPN2 so far this season (from highest to lowest audience […]

I've lost track of the number of times Americans ask me where I'm from, and I mention Wales — only to hear the next follow-up question, which is "Where is Wales? Is that part of England?" While most US residents get an F in geography (not just from me, but from many scholars), I've found […]

Jozy Altidore made headlines last week for the wrong reasons with his Twitter outburst after inexplicably showing up late to a match. This saw the striker, who is on his fourth club in fifteen months, suspended. Altidore’s skill set may be impressive but his body of work both at the club level and as an […]

Manchester United goalkeeper Ben Foster has been under a lot of criticism recently after making several crucial mistakes in front of goal. And now his reputation sunk to a new low Tuesday night after a couple of Barnsley yobs invaded the pitch at Oakwell and scored a goal past him. Foster didn't look too amused, […]

Here's an interesting little fact for you: the two longest serving managers in Premier League history also happen to be in charge of the two most successful teams in Premier League history. So why is it then that fans and chairmen are so quick to jump on the back of a struggling manager and demand […]

It appears very likely that some or all of the FA Cup matches will be shown on Sky Sports television in the United Kingdom this season. Setanta Sports UK had the rights to the FA Cup last season until they closed its doors this past summer. Hello, I'm just writing in to send this along […]

It's been a strange but heartwarming Premier League season so far in that no manager has been sacked, at least not quite yet. But when was the last time a manager was sacked so late in the season? According to the record books, the 2009/2010 Premier League season is on course to have the fewest […]

I received an enthusiastic e-mail last week from EPL Talk reader Jake Islas who asked me for advice about how he could create a blog and a vibrant community similar to mine here at EPL Talk. I was tempted to warn him not to venture into the field. The pay is lousy. It requires an […]

Just two months into the 2009-2010 season, the “big four” of Arsenal, Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool have lost 10 matches combined. Compare that with 18 matches lost by the league’s elite combined in the entirety of last season, and it’s clear that either the big four are weaker, or the rest of the league […]
