The FA Cup Third Round relieved us from the dreariness of our normal robust Premier League schedule to enthrall us with live riveting matches like Pompey-Ipswich and grant us the opportunity to pay top dollar to watch Villa-Utd. All 20 Premier League clubs participated at the weekend and here are their performances ranked in order. […]

The US National Team will rely on two, maybe three thirty somethings to move through the first group of CONCACAF qualification. (the names Frankie Hejduk, Eddie Lewis and Pablo Mastroeni come to mind) Major League Soccer will fail to sign a big name over the hill international, but will scout well and sign a few […]

Despite all the bad feelings generated by Dave Kitson's recent comments, Saturday was a day to feel good about the FA Cup. It was a big day for the lower division clubs as they stepped up to pull off several upsets and make other games very close. First off, Everton were knocked out of the […]

F**k Reading's Dave Kitson and his idiotic statement about how he doesn't care about the FA Cup. View this slideshow to find out what the FA Cup is all about. This is the real football. For readers of this blog, it's required viewing. The Chasetown story is pretty incredible. They're the lowest non-league club ever […]

Let me deviate from the American Soccer format of this blog for a moment to share my thoughts on Joey Barton's most recent brush with the law. I am as our listeners and readers are keenly aware, a Manchester City die in the wool supporter. I've been relegated with the club three times since I […]

I figured that before the Christmas and New Year's hype ends and becomes irrelevant, I'd try to milk it for all it's worth and relate it back to the Premiership.Twenty teams compete in the most entertaining domestic league in the world; every single one of them has room to improve, some much more so than […]

Question: If you're an advertiser, how much do you think West Ham and Middlesbrough are worth? More specifically, how much would you be willing to pay to put your brand name and advertisement on one of those fancy LED signboards that straddle the pitch touchline? EPL Talk did some research and we have the answers […]

"There's only one Titus Bramble" chanted the Wigan faithful, and he made the difference, earning a point in their 1-1 draw with Liverpool. Torres scored the initial goal, which salvaged Liverpool a point, but they have to be extremely disappointed with yet another poor result at "fortress" Anfield, winning only four of ten. Any persistent […]

Phew. After a jampacked holiday schedule that came fast and furious, fans and players alike now get a chance to catch their breath as the next round of games doesn't come until the 12th. The Carling Cup semifinals and the 3rd Round of the FA Cup will have to tide everyone over until then and […]

Norman Hubbard of ESPN Soccernet has written an interesting article on who he thinks have been the worst players of the season so far. Personally, most of the article is spot on but there are a few choices that I don't agree with. Liverpool – Peter Crouch. Has Hubbard not seen Sissoko play this season? […]

Before I get started, a quick correction on yesterday's post – QPR's deals for Connolly and Ephraim are permanent moves and not just loan deals. I also neglected to mention a couple of "future star" signings that were made by Chelsea, Everton, Liverpool and Manchester United as well as deals done by Tottenham and Bolton. […]

In the fifteen year history of the Premier League, only one club outside of the four horse race has ever won the Premiership title. That was Blackburn Rovers during the 1993-94 season. The chances of a club from outside the top four lifting the trophy in the future are practically nil. So, to recognize those […]

Legendary commentator Martin Tyler summed it up best in tonight's Bolton against Derby match when he mentioned how so many late goals happen in Premier League matches. Just minutes after delivering the commentator's curse, Bolton's Stelios Giannakopoulos scored the only goal of the match which dealt a cruel, cruel blow to Derby County. The Rams, […]

The transfer window has started and I'll be covering all the moves and rumours over the next couple of weeks. So far, the deals have been largely loan moves of Premier League squad players to Championship sides. Queens Park Rangers have been the busiest, wrapping up loan deals for West Ham's Hogan Ephraim, Arsenal's Matthew […]
