Yesterday, EPL Talk learned that Spurs will also be competing in the New York Football Challenge against Sporting Lisbon and Red Bull New York between July […]

Last weekend the Premier League was full of drama, the story of 'when 3 became 2' as finally, Arsenal's legs went in the final stretch, United gained a 'leg up' and Chelsea looked as if they were start to roast theirs. It all seemed to be going well for Arsenal, 2-0 up, looking comfortable and […]

Jermain Defoe puts Tottenham ahead With only three weeks to go until the final Saturday of competition the key races in the Premier League are heating up. Two key derbys, one in Manchester and the other in London, threw the races for first and fourth place back into uncertainty as Burnley and Hull City seem […]

Most soccer pundits will claim that Arsenal's title challenge is over after their deserved 2-1 loss against Tottenham Hotspur Wednesday night when they were outclassed by a Spurs side who played more like they wanted to win. But the inconsistency that each of the Big Four clubs has shown this season tells us the Premier […]

With the North London derby approaching, I want nothing more than for Arsenal to destroy Tottenham and get all three points, just like I do every week no matter who they play. Except, that is, the days that Arsenal is playing Tottenham. I do not have anything against Tottenham or wish the worst for them. […]

As the Portsmouth players put on their uniforms in the Wembley locker room this afternoon, they were under no allusions about what the future held for them and their team. They were going to be relegated down to the Championship League after the season. Once there, they were far more likely to be relegated again […]

ESPN has been patient throughout this entire 2009-2010 Premier League season in regards to which matches they've been able to televise live on ESPN2. For the vast majority of games, they were B- level or C-level Premier League matches. But finally after their recent record-breaking Manchester United against Chelsea broadcast, they finally got a massive […]

When I first started watching English football as a Yank six years ago, I was drawn to the best clubs and star players, like anyone would be. But then I quickly realized that being a fan of one of the Big 4 clubs is no fun. Since the '02-'03 season, only once has an […]

We may not admit it to our friends, but we've all done it before. It seems sacrilegious to say it, especially on a soccer web site, but here goes: I fast forward soccer games. Gulp, there I said it. It's true. Let me add that I don't do it all the time. In fact, it's […]

There is talk that Manchester United, Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur could be playing friendlies in the United States this summer. It's music to my ears and I'm sure many other soccer fans in America. But while teams in the past such as Chelsea, Everton and others have tried to conquer the States, they all […]

One of the advantages of Premier League clubs being more desperate for points at this stage of the season is that it means that we get to see more open matches. It also creates more end-to-end action. This past weekend was a perfect example of this. I had the chance to watch Spurs against Blackburn, […]

When watching Manchester City's fantastic 4-2 Victory away to league leaders Chelsea, one thing was paramount in that game and it wasn't Wayne Bridge V John Terry, Two red cards, Manchester City's flowing football, Shay Given's commanding goal keeping or Roberto Mancini's great man management and control of the game. It was Gareth Barry. I lost count […]

What would happen if you took a pub full of Tottenham Hotspur supporters and asked them to sing a 90s pop song by the Australian band Savage Garden? As weird as it may sound, this is exactly what Puma did recently and turned it into a TV commercial to celebrate Valentine's Day. Of course, I'm […]

If you can't beat them, buy them. That has often been Manchester United's strategy when the club has lost pivotal league games against smaller English clubs and/or have been embarrassed by Premier League players who display incredible raw skill. United has often gone on to purchase many of those footballers. Examples include Everton (Wayne Rooney), […]

ESPN2 received some good news Friday when the Premier League announced the list of games that have had their kickoff times moved to be shown during key television times.
