Imagine for a minute that you just received a letter from a corporate recruiter congratulating you on a new position you've been selected for. It's a dream job just miles away from your favorite Premier League club in England. Sure, it would be a massive life change, but the new company you'll be working for […]

In a well-known game in England, one footballer slid into another late. The challenge was poor, two-footed, and probably deserved a card, but there was no malice associated with it. Unfortunately, the defender missed the ball and caught the other player’s foot, breaking his metatarsal bone. The injury was hardly career threatening, but it did put […]

Editor's note: As a follow-up to the recent article about ESPN2's number of viewers for Premier League games it has shown so far this season, I asked EPL Talk readers if anyone would be interested in analyzing the data more closely. New York City resident LD Montejo responded to the call and has produced these […]

Last week EPL Talk asked the question, "Who Do You Watch Football With?" – and for the most part, got the variety of answers we were hoping for. It seems everyone from the "all alone football fan", to the brave pub goers, to a few lucky ones who live with in walking distance of their beloved […]

The Premier League will launch a 24/7 TV service next season with all of the content available for selection by TV rights holders around the world except Great Britain. The types of TV programming available will include classic Premier League matches, studio discussions, news and feature shows. So, for example, Fox Soccer Channel would be […]

The year is 2010. Fox Soccer Channel still doesn't have a podcast, which would have been a perfect medium to tell people about going to HD, and to answer questions about Fox Soccer Plus. And neither Fox Soccer Channel nor the Premier League have an official iPhone app, although in case of the Premier League, […]

Fox Soccer Channel will begin live streaming of select Premier League matches on FoxSoccer.tv beginning March 6, 2010, a Fox representative told EPL Talk on Wednesday. Earlier today, Setanta Sports sent an e-mail to Setanta-i subscribers informing them that Fox Soccer Channel "your favorite club competitions are coming to FoxSoccer.tv starting March 1" and included […]

Editor's note: This is part two of a series of articles written by Stephen Lucey. Part one, released earlier this week, focused on whether a salary cap could save the Premier League from itself. Part two, here, discusses unrestricted free agency and compares the NFL model to the Premier League. Portsmouth FC are near-mortally crippled […]

I was posed a question last night about the Premier League by a casual American observer. “Why don't they have a salary cap?” While on the face of it I know that in some ways the comparisons aren't entirely fair, it certainly is a fair question. My knowledge of the economics of the Premier League […]

The Danger isn't just Administration, it's Liquidation. £22m-£26m required to see out season. As fans of football, we never want there to be less football clubs around. As simple as that sounds, it makes perfect sense to leave it at that. The Premier League that we all love, follow and obsess over stands in line […]

Along with the recent dip in form at Manchester City has come an unrest amongst the fans who have began to question as to why virtually the same team as the one that began the season so brightly currently appears to lack energy, creativity and flare. It seems as though one way or the other, the […]

Until the Premier League institutes a playoff for the fourth Champions League, we’ll have to settle for matches like Sunday’s clash between Liverpool and Manchester City to decide the fate of the league’s final golden ticket into Europe’s glamour competition. City is a point ahead of the Reds with a game in hand – and […]

ESPN has reached an agreement with Fox Sports International to sub-license more Premier League games beginning with the 2010-2011 season, a source confirmed to EPL Talk on Tuesday. The number of games ESPN will show during the 2010-2011 season will be 83, which is almost double the number of Premier League games shown (48) by […]

Another Big Four match and the Merseyside Derby highlight this weekend's slate, but really, the one key question is this: Will Arsenal fall from title to contender to afterthought in a week's time? That may sound a bit drastic, but after falling to Manchester United last weekend the Gunners now have to cross London and face front-running Chelsea. Arsenal […]

Two of the top three teams in the Premier League table will clash on Sunday when Manchester United come to London to face Arsenal. You won't want to miss it, and if you check out the EPL Talk TV schedule, you won't. It's a huge match for both clubs, but hardly the only one as […]
