Instead of spending your day searching across the Internet on wild goose chases and poor rumors, stay with us here at EPL Talk as we scour the Internet […]

Chelsea will play Atletico Madrid for a chance to win another piece of silverware. Chelsea team: Cech; Ivanovic, Cahill, David Luiz, Cole; Mikel, Lampard; Ramires, Hazard, […]

Another year, another winless August for the Philadelphia Union. But unlike 2011, the team didn't have a fast start to rest upon, and now they sit at a point where the MLS Cup Playoffs are a fading image. On Wednesday night, the Union saw their all-time record in the late-summer month drop to 1-7-7 as […]

In breaking news, Clint Dempsey has turned down a move to Aston Villa even though Fulham and Villa agreed a £7m deal. Dempsey is insisting that he wants to move to Liverpool instead. Brendan Rodgers, meanwhile, refused to talk about Dempsey in his latest press conference. The Reds seem to be favoring a loan deal […]

My head is spinning from all of the transfer window craziness — and just wait until tomorrow. In the latest episode of 'Will Clint Dempsey Be Stuck on Fulham's Bench This Season, Or Not?', reliable reporter Chris Bascombe from The Telegraph is reporting that Liverpool's Jordan Henderson has turned down a move to Fulham. If […]

Follow along with us today for the Europa League coverage as Liverpool take on Hearts at Anfield (the Reds have a 1-0 aggregate lead; live on FOX Soccer), while Newcastle United is at home against Greek side Atromitos (the Toon have a crucial away goal from the 1-1 first leg draw).

The draw for the group stage of the 2012-13 UEFA Champions League has been made in Monaco, and Manchester City has been dealt the toughest draw with a group of champions battling it out with the Premier League winners. City has been drawn with Real Madrid, Ajax and Borussia Dortmund. Arsenal is in the same […]

Take a trip around the world with FIFA 13: in the new TV spot. A star-studded ad containing the likes of Joe Hart, Karim Benzema, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and cover boy Leo Messi. The ad clearly extrapolates the features of FIFA 13 into an intense experience, presumably the way that the FIFA 13 developers would love you to feel when experiencing the […]

Two games into the Premier League season and it seems as though hysteria is the only option among some of the Arsenal fan base. After two goalless draws at home to Sunderland and away at Stoke, it seems much of the criticism has fallen upon the player occupying the central striker’s role, who has mostly […]

An Atlantic Cup match is always a show. The dueling cheering sections always cheer a little louder, the players are a bit more physical, and the soccer world is reminded that league rivalries can be just as fierce on the East Coast as the West, albeit maybe slightly less well attended. The third and final […]

Money, money, money — it's a rich man's world. In a very busy morning in the transfer window, QPR has agreed a fee with Real Madrid for the permanent transfer of midfielder Esteban Granero, Dimitar Berbatov is at Fulham having a medical, Swansea has agreed a £6.2 million fee with Manchester City for Scott Sinclair […]

It's not the final nail in the coffin, but it's certainly a big blow. Satellite TV provider DirecTV has dropped GolTV from its Sports Pack tier. In an e-mail to DirecTV customers on Tuesday, DirecTV informed customers that "GolTV on channel 627 will no longer be available effective on 9/13 on Sports Pack." Instead, the […]

Since Manchester United’s opening game of the Premier League campaign, one player has attracted large pockets of criticism that to my mind is baffling. While it was clear from his lackluster display against Everton, Rooney isn’t yet 100%, but can all the criticism of him be justified? Rooney, after playing two matches during England’s Euro […]

The links are tenuous, but Liverpool Echo reporter James Pearce tweeted tonight that if Charlie Adam and Jay Spearing are sold to Stoke City and Bolton respectively, this will allow Liverpool FC to finally sign Fulham attacking midfielder Clint Dempsey. There's a lot of 'if this then that' tied to the story, so we're not […]

After assessing each Premier League team's weaknesses last season, talent gaps within the squad and new signings, I've compiled a short-list of suitable players teams could and perhaps should sign between now and the end of the transfer window, taking into account realistic transfer budgets and each manager's preferences. Drum roll, please. Here are the […]
