After getting the nod from The Gaffer to start posting on La Liga Talk, I was in search of the first article I'd sink my teeth into. Drugs? Football Players? FIFA Agents? 600 pounds of blow? Oh come on now, this can't be real? Today in Spain, eleven people were arrested, five of which make […]

The question I am posing is looking purely at what the UEFA Cup means to clubs from the English Premier League.

Brad Guzan has been anointed as Tim Howard's backup for international play with the US National Team.
