In the continuing series that explores my recent trip to England to watch top flight football, we take a look at my visit to Arsenal's Emirates Stadium: It's not often that the outside of ground looks just as attractive as the inside, but Arsenal's Emirates Stadium (or Ashburton Grove as many prefer to call it) […]

Just as many of you are, I'm also an avid listener of football podcasts. I don't know what I'd do without them as I now listen to podcasts 100% of the time and never seem to switch on the radio anymore. Two football podcasts of note that I want to tell you about are "Soccer […]

Several months ago, I highlighted a new show that GolTV was adding to its programming entitled "Fans United." And even though I've been watching the episodes since it began, I only now got a chance to write about it. Bottom line: If you haven't watched it yet and you have GolTV, set your Tivo player […]
