What a strange day it was in the Premier League on Saturday. Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United all failed to score. Aston Villa came within a whisker of beating Man United, which would have pushed them into third place. And Arsenal crumbled against Manchester City. In the closest Premier League season ever, who would have […]

Here's a bit of fun for a Saturday morning. The Mackem Mover appeared on Soccer AM this morning and showed off his dance moves (see video below). The bloke named Steve first came to fame when TV cameras caught him dancing in the crowd during half-time against Newcastle United (watch here). Enjoy the video. [display_podcast]

The Tokyo Toffeeman has graciously agreed to host the EPL Talk Chat today. Join him and other fans online right now as they dissect the big matches including Chelsea versus Newcastle United, Liverpool against Fulham and Manchester City vs Arsenal.

As we arrive at the quarter mark for the current Premier League season the standings are starting to take shape, although who would have ever thought we would see Tottenham rock bottom or Hull City in the Champions League places. As such it is another big weekend of fixtures coming up and about time players […]

It's amazing how things can sometime go full circle. It feels weird blogging back here again, but it's safe to say I'm back. For those who don't know me, I'm Johnathan Starling. Started out blogging on the old Community and it's even safer to say plenty has changed here since I started blogging and hosting […]

Here are my predictions of how I think the Premier League will finish at the end of the 2008/2009 season. Manchester United will continue to excel, while I believe Spurs have the talent and determination to break into the top four knocking Liverpool into fifth place. Liverpool has done well to capture Robbie Keane, but […]

The Sunday newspapers in England are reporting that Everton and Newcastle United could be sold in the near future. If both clubs are sold to foreigners, that'll mean 11 out of the 20 Premier League clubs will be foreign owned. According to The Observer, Everton could be put up for sale if the government approves […]

Collection of 50 tobacco cards of famous footballers from 1939. The 1930's were the hey-dey for the hobby of collecting cigarette cards and vast amounts were produced especially of sport stars. This particular collection contains some beautifully colored photographs of footballers from the English leagues (pictured above). While the names of the clubs are familiar […]

Arsenal beat Bolton 3-2 at the Reebok, keeping mathematical title hopes alive. The Gunners, with 10 men on the pitch, scored three goals to reverse a 2-0 deficit. Diaby deserved his red card for raised studs. Poor fortune averaged itself through an unmarked corner, a penalty and a deflection. Cristiano Ronaldo is the best in […]

Manchester United 3 – Liverpool 0: The scoreline was unfair, United should have won by more. Rooney and Ronaldo combined for five fluffed chances. Captain Stevie disappeared twice for the Reds. First, when he decided to stop running and not defend on the Wes Brown goal. Second, when he failed to get between the referee […]

Derby 0 – Manchester United 1 This match epitomizes the season for both clubs. Derby worked but weren't quite good enough. United's only enemy was their own cuteness. Ronaldo should have scored at least three, or more according to his own verbal tally. Birmingham 1 – Newcastle 1 The result risked being critical, but little […]

Arsenal 2- Birmingham 2 Eduardo's injury – a horrific broken leg – stole the headlines. But, it did not decisively affect the outcome. Luck controlled much of it. Birmingham capitalized upon one free kick – a questionable call – and one penalty – a blatantly wrong call. Fabregas had two goal-worthy efforts, one stopped by […]

It was night of black armbands and barren kits in Manchester, which only served to emphasize the sponsorship everywhere else as Man City shocked Man United 2-1 at Old Trafford. It is no coincidence that most of Man U's losses come without Wayne Rooney on the pitch. Ronaldo can score goals but even he with […]

After this weekend a Google search for "Sven" and "Up the Arse" won't lead you astray as Arsenal defeated Manchester City 3-1 away from home to move to the top of the table. Adebayor dropped a deuce, scoring in his eighth straight match. Eduardo also controlled a ball magnificently with his chest to set up […]

OK. I'm sorry about the headline-itis there. I was up late last night and I haven't had my coffee yet 🙂 The transfer market has had some interesting moves in the last few days and I will be back on Feb 1st to recap things. The news I want to discuss right now is the […]
