Well another week has meant another win for the top two, another bad week for Arsenal and of course another week of transfer rumours. For months now specualtion has never really gone away that Manchester United will not stump up the reported £30 Million or so that Media Sports Investments want for him. Carlos Tevez has […]

Thanks to FIFA's rules and the poaching of players nations such as France and Mexico have engaged in lately, more focus and emphasis than ever has been placed on players eligible to play for more than one nation recently. Obviously the United States has previously depended on naturalized players like Earnie Stewart, Tom Dooley, Hugo […]

I am traveling today and will be unable to release the MLS Talk Podcast with the roundup of this past weekend's action until Wednesday morning. As usual we will also release a new interview podcast on Friday afternoon. A reminder to all fans of MLS, WPS and USL-1 and USL-2 that if you follow a […]

The life of Theo Walcott must be a peculiar one, thrust into the limelight in 2006 as a 17 year-old when picked for the England World Cup squad, the glare has been on him ever since. When he scored a hat-trick against Croatia for the national team last September he was hailed as the next […]

Alan Shearer needs all the good luck he can find in the dying weeks of Newcastle United's disaster of a season. And after his 69th minute substitution of Michael Owen for Obafemi Martins, fortune smiled on the Magpies' former number nine when their current number nine found the back of the net almost immediately after […]

After another defeat against a fellow top four side, it is clear that Arsenal have a fair amount of work to do that will enable them to challenge for the end of season silverware once more. Defeats from Manchester United and Chelsea have shown that the Gunners are a long way from being a championship […]

Why is it so hard to have a governing body with an ounce of common sense, UEFA just seem bereft of it every time it seems like they'll do the right thing. Are your matches blighted by neo-nazi's forming swastika shapes on the terrace? Here, have a fine of $3 and don't do it again. […]

As Manchester United moved closer to their 18th championship, it was Carlos Tevez who made the back pages of the Sunday papers with the revelation that he probably wont be a Manchester United player next season. After months of speculation it appears the Argentinean has ran out of patience with United’s lack of urgency in […]

Too often, players will often blame off field problems for a lack of discipline, form or fitness, it becoming something of a Teflon shield to protect them from criticism off fans and players. It's a catch all term to cover all kinds of issues, from drinking (Too numerous to mention) , drugs (Adrian Mutu) , […]

See the full picture here! Football Shirt Culture has released a photo of next season strips for the current Bundesliga sides. What do people think? I am loving Dortmund's shirts for next season. My favorite strip might be Hertha's third shirt, followed by Gladbach's 2nd. Hannover's shirt are just terrible. And I'll miss Bayern's hoops.

I turned off the volume. The results were remarkable. Believe it or not, but you get to "see more of the game" […]

When the fixture list was released back in June 2008, no doubt the fans of both Newcastle and Middlesbrough hadn't a thought that they'd be facing a six pointer to try and save their Premiership survival with today's clash.
