So much for Manchester City's much-discussed game in hand, eh? After Wednesday's loss to Everton, City finds itself two points back of Tottenham with eight matches left. Perhaps a Monday home date with Wigan Athletic will be enough to raise Roberto Mancini's squad's spirits. Of course, after getting sent to the stands along with Everton's […]

Another weekend, another twist in the race for the coveted prize of the Premier League. This weekend saw two different league leaders and one team slip a little off the pace.

It's the week of the Cheltenham festival, so in order to celebrate, this edition of fantasy football tips will take on a slightly equine nature. Apologies in advance for the inevitably dodgy puns. I'll try and ensure that there's not too much horse play... Anyway, to business. Just like horse racing, it's crucial that you're […]

Two members of the big four clash Sunday when Liverpool visits Old Trafford for a date with Manchester United. Manchester United will be trying to stay in first place in the league standings, with Chelsea and Arsenal in hot pursuit.

While watching Tottenham Hotspur against Blackburn Rovers in glorious HD this past Saturday, my mind began to think about how the soccer TV watching experience could be improved. Yes, we've come so far in the past couple of decades in terms of all of the technology that has brought the beautiful game into our living […]

In the United States, the clocks go forward an hour tonight for Daylight Savings Time. However the clocks don't go forward in the United Kingdom for another two weeks until March 28.

After a Champions League week in which both Arsenal and United cruised through, the media in UK goes overboard. There are rarely any shades of grey in press coverage here.
