Based on the performances by the leading English teams so far this season, they're going to have a difficult time in the latest round of Champions League matches beginning today.

Before Reading's match today against Manchester City, left winger – and American – Bobby Convey said it best: "It will be cool to play in a big game – the only game on the night. Night games under lights are always the most exciting ones. People back in the States will be working, as it […]

One week from today, the BBC will broadcast a documentary from their TV show called Panorama which will allegedly open wide the topic and controversy of bungs (i.e. illegal payments) in the Premiership transfer business.

Journalist Patrick Barclay, always a sense of reason, has a very interesting article in today's Sunday Telegraph entitled "Bring Down This Crazy Facade." In the article, he rips apart the current state of the Premiership in terms of the enormous debt, West Ham's two new "free" transfers, and the behind-the-scenes business dealings and transparency for […]

As a Brit myself, this is going to shock a lot of people, but I honestly believe that American viewers of the Premiership are more passionate and bigger footy fans than those who live in Britain. Here are my reasons why: What Brits would wake up on a Saturday morning at 4:30am or 7:30am local […]

While I commented earlier this week on Chelsea's need to improve their style of play (and confidence) this Saturday and in the Champions League next Tuesday, the other clubs in the four horse race need to be equally as concerned. Between now and September 17, there's a good chance that a wider gap may open […]
