After week two of the Barclay's Premier League the goals have continued to flow. Chelsea are off to the best start for any club in England's top division since 1888 and there have already been four games with at least six goals scored. This seemed like a high time to debut EPL Talk's official power […]

A scoreline of six nil in the Premier League is more common now than a one nil. So far this season, we've seen four 6-0 scores and only two 1-0 results. Congratulations to Chelsea (2), Arsenal and Newcastle United for accomplishing this rare task. And commiserations to Wigan, West Bromwich Albion, Blackpool and Aston Villa. […]

I came across this new video spot for Fox Soccer Channel yesterday that I thought I'd share with you. It features footage that captures the mood and spirit of attending a Premier League game in England. Everything from the supporters making their way to the ground to Wayne Rooney provoking the crowd into hysterics. The […]

Generally, football matches are won by the team with the better players. It's not a game that upon first glance seems to lend itself to a great deal of tactics, a team just tries to send the ball to it's most talented goal scorer by any legal means. Yet people like Jose Mourinho have taken […]

Wigan Athletic today unveiled their new away jersey for the 2010-11 Premier League season. The new away kit will be worn for the first time tonight in their Carling Cup game against Hartlepool United. Modeled by new signing Steven Caldwell, the new Wigan away shirt is black with gold trim and is manufactured and designed […]

Raise your hand if you knew that an English Football Hall of Fame existed. If you're anything like me, it's likely you didn't have a clue about the Hall that is currently being relocated to Manchester from the National Football Museum in Preston. I recently received a tweet from an EPL Talk reader asking that […]

Joe Hart's triple save Monday night for Manchester City against Liverpool as well as his heroic saves for City against Tottenham Hotspur on the opening day of the season have been the difference for City thus far this season. City would definitely have lost against Spurs if it wasn't for Hart. And the scoreline in […]

Named one of this blog's most surprising teams of 2009-2010, Parma not only survived their first season back in Serie A but finished eighth, two spots ahead of the team that finished before them in Serie B and three points behind Juventus. The club scored in all but nine of their Serie A matches last […]

It's only been two games in the Premier League and one in the Europa League, but Manchester City keeper Joe Hart has continued his dominating form and has yet to give up a goal in his first three matches. Manchester City were quite brilliant on Monday night at Eastlands as they passed their way through […]

There is some real drama about which European country will host the next World Cup. Both England and Russia have submitted solid bids, and FIFA is going to have to think very deeply about which country will get to host this prestigious event. However, FIFA is awarding both the 2018 and 2022 World Cups this […]

Well Liverpool have certainly continued where last season finished for them, despite the removal of the dismal Rafa Benitez. Now, I'm not going to lie to you, I simply couldn't stand Benitez, his abysmal tactics and his continual blaming of everyone else for his own failings. I don't care about two fortunate cup victories that […]

Last week's Champions League qualifying encounter saw Werder Bremen smash their Italian opponents by a score of 3-1, thanks to goals from Fritz, Frings and Pizarro, and a lone Pazzini strike at the death to secure an away goal for Sampdoria. While Werder Bremen hold the advantage heading into the second-leg, they will need to […]

This week The FIFA inspection committee responsible for producing the report on all the possible host countries for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups visits England. The committee will be touring London, Manchester, Sunderland and Newcastle, inspecting stadia, looking at infrastructure, and getting charmed by David Beckham, Fabio Capello and Bobby Charlton. Many English […]

Germany's World Cup campaign was certainly an enjoyable one. Loew's side played an attacking brand of football that wowed audiences and stunned critics. The German national team hit four past Australia, England and Argentina; certainly a feat worth noting. What's most interesting is how the youth of the German national team showed that they can […]

Palermo are one of the best put teams in Serie A, while their president, Zamparini, is a bit crazy, he has made some smart signings. And maybe at first you think that Palermo will suffer without Cavani and Simplicio, I think they won't miss either of them at all. Instead, a player they will miss […]
