Chelsea's stumbles are now troubles, having lost at Birmingham City, their third defeat in four. And while the Blues have hit a string of bad luck, Manchester United's caught some fortune, playing half an hour up two in their 2-0 win over Wigan. On this edition of the EPL Talk podcast, we'll talk about the […]

Birmingham’s victory yesterday was one of the classic stereotypes of the Premier League, a unfancied side in the relegation places prior to kick off defeating the reigning champions by going ahead and defending that lead with their lives. Playing a system that isolated their midfield and relied on the forward holding the ball up from the off, it was against the run of play that Birmingham took the lead after 17 minutes.

Sunday features two matches which are interesting for different reasons. We see the return of Robert Pires to English football courtesy of Aston Villa in their match against Blackburn Rovers. The second match of the day, meanwhile, features Manchester City against Fulham, where Mark Hughes has a chance to do one over against his old […]

After their stunning comeback in the North London derby yesterday, all the talk this morning is about Harry Redknapp’s men. The White Hart Lane club have certainly showed their title credentials with that win, but could they really mount a serious challenge for the Premier League this season? Harry Redknapp certainly feels they can. Talking […]

The latest renewal of the North London Derby was held at Emirates Stadium between bitter rivals Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur. A 17 year drought for Spurs at Arsenal set the stage for an intriguing comeback that saw the race for the League trophy open up even more. For Arsenal, manager Arsene Wenger brought the home […]

As the Christmas period is rapidly approaching, I've started to think about who have been the top performers so far this season. I've steered cleared of the so-called "big four" clubs partly by choice, but partly because few would warrant a place in the team of the season so far. Certain players from the "smaller" teams have […]

The number of adjectives to describe West Ham's performance against Liverpool on Saturday are too many to fit on one hand. Lethargic, woeful, uninspired, dispassionate, lifeless, pathetic and flaccid, just to name a few. After the first half was over and West Ham United were losing 3-0 at Anfield, I thought that there was at […]

This weekend in the Championship Cardiff City lost their briefly held lead at the top of the Championship, as they lost at home to Nottingham Forest who recorded only their second away win of the season against the Welsh side.

One of the defining moments from Arsenal's 3-2 loss against Tottenham Hotspur Saturday was Arsene Wenger showing his frustration by smashing his water bottle into the ground after Spurs came back from two-nil down to win 3-2. Wenger hates to lose and is quite apparent when his anger gets the better of him as it […]

It's another Super Saturday in the Premier League with Arsenal against Tottenham Hotspur in the north London derby as well as several other intriguing matches including high-flying Bolton versus Newcastle, Birmingham against Chelsea, West Ham against Liverpool, Blackpool versus Wolves, West Brom against Stoke and the return of Wayne Rooney in Manchester United against Wigan. […]

In this preview of the upcoming Serie A matches, I'll be looking at the interesting matches, and the two teams which recently got new coaches, Genoa and Cagliari. Regarding Italy's game against Romania, I was unable to watch it, and therefore I didn't write a match report. The match finished 1-1, with Marica scoring against […]

Werder Bremen striker Marko Arnautovic has been the subject of quite a bit of debate over the past few weeks. His arrogant, selfish actions have caused a bit of a stir around his club, and it's possible that some mental supporters took their revenge on the young star. He refused to shake the hand of […]

With no Friday match this week, Saturday is busier than ever. Dortmund will look to continue their domination of the Bundesliga with an away win at Freiburg, Bayern Munich will be hoping to continue their resurgence at Bayer Leverkusen, and Schalke will be looking to dig themselves out of the relegation zone with an away […]
