I'm leaving on Monday for a trip to Las Vegas for a search marketing conference, so I want to wrap up the EPL Talk contests before I leave in order to mail the packages and to make some football fans very happy. So today, if you're lucky enough to be reading this, you have the […]

This season has not started the best for Everton, so far they have been unable to recapture the form they showed last season in the league and sit a lowly 13th. Couple this with two heavy defeats and the hands of Benfica in the Europa league and things aren't looking so rosy for David Moyes […]

Jason Kreis and RSL are the most frustrating duo in MLS. Former listeners to the American Soccer Show on CSRN will know that I have a soft spot for the club, not because of any geographic tie, but because of the presence of former Miami Fusion players up and down the organization, starting with GM […]

Traditional terrace tipplers still mouthing up their marmite at the news that Newcastle's St. James' Park will henceforth be known as sportsdirect.com@St. James' Park Stadium will be further aghast to learn that Chelsea would consider cashing in on Stamford Bridge. We are not too far off from Ethan Armstrong's vision here at EPL Talk of sponsored songs and […]

With the confusing TV schedules for La Liga in the United States every week, it is quite difficult to figure out who is playing when and on what channel. Every Friday, I will lay out the TV schedule so that every fan of La Liga has a place to go to see when and where […]

If he were an opera star, he would be il divo. If he were an American sports star, he would be called a prima dona (yes, Americans don’t speak other languages well) and be compared to Terrell Owens or various NBA figures. If he was a politician, he would rise to stratospheric heights only to […]

Stan Kroenke has purchased even more shares in Arsenal today taking his holding to 29.9% of the club. With only another 0.09% required to reach the threshold to make an offer for the rest of the clubs shares, Kroenke has purchased 627 shares this week for the princely sum of £5.3 million. The oddest part […]

"It is difficult for us to qualify, but not impossible,We have to win our game and see what happens with Fiorentina and Lyon. Then we will approach the last game." Benitez has certainly fought his corner today after the galling last minute equaliser Liverpool conceded in the Stade Gerland last night. Of course, the nay […]

As I mentioned on Monday with the release of our latest podcast, we are making some exciting changes at MLS Talk. One of these changes will be our new "Legends of MLS" series on both our podcast and website. Often times, MLS History is unknown or hardly written for the new fan. We seek to […]

Before we get into the games, check out the TV schedule. And don't forget to tab the winners with the EPL Talk Predictor. […]
