Gary Speed’s first competitive game in charge of Wales will provide an immediate chance for him to go down in Welsh managerial folklore. The locals will love nothing more than getting one over on their English counterparts and after the rugby team couldn’t send the English back over the border with their tails between their […]

John Terry, the steel of the England defense, faces a tough challenge this weekend when the Three Lions travel to Cardiff to face Wales in a crucial Euro 2012 qualifying match. With a sold-out crowd of 69,000 expected at Millennium Stadium, Terry and his England teammates will definitely face a battle both on and off […]

With the world of football now once again enthralled in the banality of the European Championship qualifiers it seems a good juncture to look at the fights at both the top and bottom of the Championship. Today I am going to focus on the bottom of the Championship and look at the teams fighting what […]

The current Serie A season has seen a trio of clubs compete for the Scudetto with Milan ahead by a small margin over Inter and Napoli respectively. The Milan-Inter showdown, set after the international break, will determine to a large extent the direction of the title. From an individual standpoint, there have been very few […]

Earlier this month, exclusive members of EPL Talk Pro received the first part of a new audio documentary series that was entitled Detailing The Pyramid. Parts two and three are in the works, but we thought we'd give EPL Talk readers a taste of what you're missing. Thus, we present to you, as a special […]

Last week Adel Taarabt won the Championship Player of the Year at The Football League Awards underlining the remarkable change in fortunes for the player, who left Tottenham in the summer. The young striker arrived at Loftus Road with a damaged reputation as a talented yet temperamental character with buckets of unfulfilled potential. This lead […]

I will be the first to admit that my proximity to RFK Stadium may color my biases a little bit. But after seeing DC United's press release on their latest friendly, I have to be impressed with this club. Despite playing in less than stellar facilities and finishing last in MLS last season, the club […]

Now that we're on an international break for the next couple of weeks before we see more Premier League action, I wanted to take this time to bring you up-to-speed regarding several important updates. First, on Thursday, we'll be publishing an exclusive interview with Chelsea (and now England) captain John Terry on EPL Talk. The one-on-one […]

Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho has announced that his next job will be in England. And he is hoping to form a dynasty at whichever club he takes over rather than the shorter stints he has been known for throughout his career. Mourinho also went on to say that Real Madrid is the “most difficult […]

Everton will return to the United States for a preseason tour this summer. The Toffees will play a friendly against D.C. United on Saturday, July 23 at RFK Stadium in Washington DC.

Last week saw The Football League Awards 2011 take place in London celebrating the achievements both on and off the pitch of the 72 clubs that comprise the football league. The headline winners of the evening from the evening where Adel Taarabt and Conor Wickham with the later winning two awards highlighting just how quickly […]

As a Brit and Newcastle United supporter, I must give credit for this piece to one of our readers, ‘Clampdown’. In the article on our sister site MLS Talk about how The Guardian dismisses Major League Soccer as not a big league, I liked the premise that Clampdown suggested. He recommended I should write a […]

Milan remain on top of Serie A yet their hold has become more tenuous than ever with city rivals Inter lurking just two points behind. The Rossoneri have some of the league's most talented individuals such as Robinho, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Antonio Cassano, but along with that talents comes a lot of baggage and unpredictability. […]

As a relative newcomer to soccer and, being a Tottenham fan, I must say that I have immensely enjoyed the past couple of years. Last year saw Spurs squeak past Manchester City to take fourth place and a Champions League spot. And the late April match that ultimately decided it all was the most thrilling one […]
