F**k Reading's Dave Kitson and his idiotic statement about how he doesn't care about the FA Cup. View this slideshow to find out what the FA Cup is all about. This is the real football. For readers of this blog, it's required viewing. The Chasetown story is pretty incredible. They're the lowest non-league club ever […]

Let me deviate from the American Soccer format of this blog for a moment to share my thoughts on Joey Barton's most recent brush with the law. I am as our listeners and readers are keenly aware, a Manchester City die in the wool supporter. I've been relegated with the club three times since I […]

I figured that before the Christmas and New Year's hype ends and becomes irrelevant, I'd try to milk it for all it's worth and relate it back to the Premiership.Twenty teams compete in the most entertaining domestic league in the world; every single one of them has room to improve, some much more so than […]

Question: If you're an advertiser, how much do you think West Ham and Middlesbrough are worth? More specifically, how much would you be willing to pay to put your brand name and advertisement on one of those fancy LED signboards that straddle the pitch touchline? EPL Talk did some research and we have the answers […]

Phew. After a jampacked holiday schedule that came fast and furious, fans and players alike now get a chance to catch their breath as the next round of games doesn't come until the 12th. The Carling Cup semifinals and the 3rd Round of the FA Cup will have to tide everyone over until then and […]

The chances of a club from outside the top four lifting the trophy in the future are practically nil. So, to recognize those […]

Legendary commentator Martin Tyler summed it up best in tonight's Bolton against Derby match when he mentioned how so many late goals happen in Premier League matches. Just minutes after delivering the commentator's curse, Bolton's Stelios Giannakopoulos scored the only goal of the match which dealt a cruel, cruel blow to Derby County. The Rams, […]

Reports out of Europe indicate that Luis Figo has signed a contract with AEG. This is interesting because unless I read MLS rules incorrectly the Galaxy cannot sign another designated player. That would mean Figo is headed to Houston and my understanding is that Dom Kinnear wasn't really entertaining the thought of a DP. Of […]

I know this sounds corny but in the holiday season of giving, that's exactly what the Premiership did as this was the most exciting week of soccer, at least that I can remember, in 2007 as far as England's top league goes.As we all know, the Christmastime schedule is packed with teams playing three or four games in the […]

Manchester United has a severe weakness in the back. In their matches against West Ham and Everton, Man United has let in three goals. All three of them have been headers (Cahill, A. Ferdinand and Upson) from crosses into the box. It's something for Fergie and Quieroz to work on with the defenders during training […]

Two thousand and seven has been a very eventful year for the Premier League and its clubs. Foreign takeovers, a high profile manager arrested, plenty of sackings, sublime goals and the closest title race in recent memory.
