Maybe it was because it looked and felt like Autumn had truly arrived in England (i.e. blame it on the weather), but Saturday's Premier League matches were the first boring day of the season thus far in my opinion. Let's hope Sunday's crop of games will raise the bar a little because Saturday's matches left […]

For two weeks in a row now, glaring penalty calls have been missed in the early Saturday EPL game. Wolves' striker Kevin Doyle was fouled twice, by my count, when through on goal, and last week it was Villa's Agbonlahor who was being tripped in the act of shooting. (Here are the videos for the […]

Tottenham Hotspur legend Martin Chivers will be a guest on an upcoming episode of the EPL Talk Podcast, the daily Premier League interview and analysis show. Chivers made 367 appearances for Tottenham Hotspur between 1968 to 1976, scoring 174 goals. He also won 24 caps for England between 1971-73. Before joining Spurs, Chivers made 175 […]

“I’m god, I’m always right about everything”, this speech was told by Louis van Gaal in the dressing room in front of his players. The reality of course is a bit different; Bayern Munich must grapple with one of its biggest crisis in its club history. At the beginning of the new season the Bayern […]

I have to start this off by saying thank you to the people behind the scenes at uefa.com for moving their subscription video service away from Windows Media and into a Flash-based format. It's allowed me to follow all the games from the comforts of my Mac. If you've not done so, I strongly recommend […]

A lot has been made of Liverpool's recent dip in form with the team looking a shadow of the side that we saw last year. Liverpool lost key personnel most notably in the form of Alonso with his replacement Aquilani yet to take the field in a Liverpool shirt. Key players Fernando Torres and Steven […]

Each day, I scour the Internet looking for fascinating stories regarding the Premier League and share most of them on my Twitter account and my shared items on Google Reader. But I often come across some mouthwatering stories that I save to share with you on EPL Talk instead. Trouble is I often run out of […]

Congratulations to EPL Talk reader Danny Godfrey for recently winning the dream chance of attending an England training session. The chance-of-a-lifetime experience was courtesy of Umbro who gave Godfrey the opportunity to watch a behind closed doors training session featuring the England national team. Godfrey met the players and received an autographed England football shirt. […]

Come Sunday, expect the television cameras to be zooming in on the faces of Rafa Benitez and Sir Alex Ferguson as they try to detect whether the pressure is getting to either manager. Attention will be paid to body language and how each manager interacts with one another, what the handshake is like and to […]

The end of the regular season has put me in a contemplative mood. Not only because I am left trying to figure out how the San Jose Earthquakes missed the postseason again, but because I am asked to fill out my 2009 MLS Awards Ballot. Following the Quakes as closely as I do, I enjoy […]

Martin Rogers, the senior World Soccer writer for Yahoo! Sports joins Kartik Krishnaiyer to discuss the epic clash that defines English Football: Liverpool-Man United. This Sunday's game however is different than so many in the past as Liverpool comes in having lost four on the trot while United sits atop the table. Discussed are Liverpool's […]

There is history, here. England's two greatest football clubs lining up on the hallowed turf of Anfield, some of the World's greatest players are there; two of the World's greatest managers are there; but this is worth more than simply names and people: this is about bragging rights, this is to prove which is actually […]

Up until the past week, ESPN has been the golden child of Premier League coverage in the United States. We've been spoiled by pictures in HD, match coverage that begins when the players enter the tunnel, Monday evenings that bring us the UK feed of ESPN's coverage, and Saturday mornings with Georgie Bingham and company. […]

I think it is fair to say that AC Milan's start to the season has been less than impressive to say the least. However, victory over Roma at the weekend propelled them into the top half of the table and then last night the Rossonerri did the unthinkable and beat Real Madrid at the Bernabeu […]

It was the first time since February 22 that a team had beaten the European champions on their pitch. On the tenth episode […]
