As the New Year approaches this seasons title race is one of the most open in the history of the Premier League. No one is showing form that suggests they will run away with it and five teams will seriously still believe that could become Champions come the end of the season. Let’s take a […]

For many Liverpool supporters who were holding out faith for Roy Hodgson to turn the team around, many lost their belief in Hodgson after Wednesday night's pathetic performance against Wolves. At this rate, Hodgson's position as Liverpool manager is tenuous. But who do you think should replace him? Vote in the poll below and share […]

Looking at the table and seeing Fulham currently in 18th position halfway through the season it makes sense to be concerned as a Fulham supporter. The next thing many fans are going to look at are the reasons why Fulham are in the relegation zone. I plan on sharing my points on why I believe […]

As we close the books on 2010 and go through our retrospectives (including MLS Talk's own awards) I wanted to take a different look back on the year that was through a different lens: what if what happened didn't happen, or vice versa.

Yesterday saw Aston Villa slump to another defeat to the hands of mega rich Manchester City. This leaves Villa one point above the relegation zone and with another four goals conceded it leaves Houllier's boys with a minus 14 goal difference, joint worst in the league. What has gone wrong at Villa Park? For the last few seasons Villa […]

There are some footballers who we can all agree about. Lionel Messi, for example. There can't be any serious observer who would think he's over-rated. But such unanimity is very rare in football. Split opinion is much more common and when it comes to Dimitar Berbatov, rarely can a player have divided opinion with such […]

Despite what some of the readers may think, I'm not a supporter of the Big Four clubs in the Premier League. I enjoy watching them. But I enjoy watching them the same as I do the other 16 that form the Premier League. But what I do especially enjoy is a couple of days like […]
