When these two teams last met in the Premier League back in mid-October, Queens Park Rangers was sitting comfortably at mid-table with 9 points from eight matches while Chelsea held third place with 19 points, just three points off league leading Manchester City. It was, by all appearances, going to be just another garden variety […]

In today's Premier League Saturday Open Thread, I'm going to do things differently and have some of the astute EPL Talk readers who are on Twitter (who follow @epltalk) to tell you and I which matches they're most looking forward to watching today on TV and why.

Newcastle retained their strangle hold at the top of the form table and moved above Spurs into fourth place as week 35 also saw wins for the bottom teams and a slip-up for Manchester United. Newcastle’s latest win over Stoke, a 3-0 triumph and 6.51 return, means that they have now more than doubled Tottenham’s […]

The England national team is such a polarizing topic. Either you love them or hate them. And that's just speaking for the people who live in England, nevermind the rest of the world. Some days, I wonder if the England national team is more popular in the United States than in its home country, but […]

After 4 seasons, 13 trophies and hours upon days of exquisite football, Pep Guardiola has decided that a change is best for both himself and Barcelona.

As we continue to talk about the two wonderful Champions League Semi-Finals we’ve just witnessed this week, I can’t help, as an Aston Villa fan, to reminisce. Thirty years ago, in Rotterdam, Dennis Mortimer of Aston Villa raised the European Cup aloft after a 1-0 win over Bayern Munich. Chelsea finished their season 12th in League […]

It's another installment of the EPL Talk Reader Mailbag, and this week we have several excellent questions. So, let's jump right in. Question from Ahmed: After the past couple of months Arsenal have been in a rich vain of form. Do you think this form can continue through next season? If so how could they […]

Editor's note: The following is a reprint of a MLS Talk article from two years ago when the Florida derby between Miami FC and Tampa Bay was played. This weekend the Florida derby returns, but it takes on a deeper sense of importance because it's the first actual derby between the Fort Lauderdale Strikers and […]

As the end of season looms across most of Europe, appearing over the mountain is this summer’s transfer window travelling circus. Already the infamous ‘My dad owns a dog who knows the owner of Chelsea’ and my personal favorite “I saw it on Twitter, so it must be true” are already beginning to surface with […]

There's been a lot of anticipation to see what Everton's home and away shirts will look like for the 2012-13 season especially since Le Coq Sportif will no longer be the club's kit manufacturer, and they've been replaced by Nike.
