Okay, admit it. Even though you thoroughly enjoy watching the Premier League, especially your
favorite team each week, there are often times when you're not too bothered about missing a match
on television featuring teams that either don't excite you or that you're not interested in.
But which team in particular do you dread watching more than any other in the Premier
League?
Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez insisted his side will finish in the Champions League places
following their 2-2 home draw with Manchester City. The Reds have lost five and drawn two of their opening 13 Premier League matches and are now 13
points adrift of Premier League leaders Chelsea. But a defiant Benitez said: "When we have all our players coming back I am confident we will start
winning games. Click to continue reading...

The International break is over and it is time to get back to Premier League action. The big
game this weekend has to be the lunch time match up between Liverpool and Manchester City.
Liverpool v Man City This is really a huge game for two teams who have Champions League ambitions.

Alright well I promised it so here it is: Manchester United vs Everton preview (fancy pictures
included):
This match marks the return of the EPL after one hell of an international break. We saw Russia
fail to qualify for the World Cup in 2010, and Ireland being cheated defeated out of a birth.
It has been a pretty disastrous three months for Liverpool in league so far, but on a game-by-game
basis, how do this season's result compare to last season's? Below is a side-by side comparison of all results from this season and last season: NCF = No Corresponding Fixture
A bit of conjecture here. The injury news is looking a bit more positive but that might not be
what could be worrying Arsene Wenger now.
He has to get William Gallas and Bacary Sagna to refocus on club football after the Ireland
France odyssey. Gallas of course was one of the principal characters in the France farce and might
be in for some stick with fans with Irish national players in their club like City and Aston
Villa.
Above average finishing ability, Average rat-tail, Below average fitness
history The Premier League is back, and while the World Cup is still top of mind
(especially for those Irish and French fans), the greatest league in the world is back from a two
week hiatus. Let's get to it: I.Click to continue reading...
After an International break that completed the 32-team field for the World Cup next summer in
South Africa, the EPL surges back to action this weekend with an important fixture at Anfield.
That game is on ESPN in glorious high definition. Here's the entire TV schedule.
On Saturday afternoon, just before 12.45, a big-spending manager will take his seat in the dugout
at Anfield aware that his side is desperate for a victory to ease the mounting pressure. Defeat
will bring an avalanche of criticism. Yes, Mark Hughes could be in for a torrid afternoon if his
Manchester City side is beaten by Liverpool. Click to continue reading...
Man United may currently be sitting third in the Premier League, below Chelsea and
Arsenal but Sir Alex Ferguson believes it will be a two-horse race. The Man United manager
believes that one of the ‘top four' could drop out of the Champions League spots and that the
race for the title will be between two teams. Click to continue reading...
Edgar debió de haberse presentado ayer lunes en Dinamarca junto con Stuart Holden y
Ricardo Clark jugadores del Dynamo para unirse el grupo que ya está en aquel paÃs.
Aston Villa 1 (Platt) Bradford City 0. Old Second Division. 1988. This was the first football
match I ever watched and I instantly fell in love with Villa's goal scoring hero, a fish shaped man
called David Platt. I later came to realise he wasn't that good but the point is that, at the time,
I thought he was a footballing god.
With the Houston Dynamo knocked out of the MLS playoffs, Ricardo Clark and Stuart Holden were
called in for the friendly against Denmark on Wednesday. Neither are a surprise, having forced
their way into the national team setup at this stage in their career. The other two call ups, Jose
Francisco Torres and Edgar Castillo were a welcome sight -- though news also came out that Torres
declined for personal reasons.
Well, I just finished gnashing my teeth, rending my clothes, and dropping down to my knees, head
thrust upward, yelling "Why, God? Why?!" I think now I can almost think rationally about this.
The big news is that the injury is not quite as bad as it had been first thought. Originally,
everyone was reporting 2-3 months, some of the more sensationalist English papers were saying out
for the season.
by VIC CRESCIT Oh dear. Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. Somebody at the club must have repeatedly run
over a black cat in a tank. Yet again the injury curse has struck. Robin van Persie will be out, as
things stand at the moment, for at least six weeks. He did his right ankle ligaments landing badly
after a tackle playing for the Netherlands in their goalless draw in a friendly against Italy in
the Stadio Adriatico in Pescara on Saturday.
The TV ratings are in for the last round of Premier League games on ESPN2 and Fox Soccer
Channel. For ESPN2, it's a tale of two cities as they had an impressive number of viewers for the
Tottenham against Sunderland game (259,831) but a very disappointing number of viewers for the
Monday match between Liverpool and Birmingham City (182,138) the second lowest viewing figure all
season long on ESPN2.
Switzerland vs Nigeria, Sunday 15 November, Abuja, 19.00 (local time)
Can the Eaglets make it a weekend to remember for Nigeria with their senior counterparts pipping
the Tunisians with their 3-2 victory over Kenya for a 2010 World Cup spot?
The Golden Eaglets have a team full of homegrown talent in marked contrast to the number of
players on the Swiss team who have found homes in Europe's top leagues.

strong>Poor attitude, poor touch, just in it for the money. But enough about my career as a

seem to most fans there were no flies on Martin [. Click to continue reading...
So we are just shy of being one-third of the way through the season and we're already at our
third (!) interlull. When we return, it will be crunch time with 11 matches in the next 42 days,
including Chelsea at home, Liverpool away, the final CL group stage fixtures, and, of course, City
away in the Carling Cup quarterfinals.

The England squad to play Brazil next Saturday in an International friendly has been announced. The
main news for Man United is that Michael Owen has yet again not been included in the squad.
This isn't much of a surprise, he hasn't played that much for United, so why would he get into the
England squad? Click to continue reading...

Luke Young has announced his retirement from international football after rejecting the
chance to replace Glen Johnson in the England squad for this weekend's game with
Brazil.
Fabio Capello had a quandary this morning when Glen Johnson pulled out of his squad to face the
Brazilians. He thought he would give Luke Young a quick phone-call and tell him to go get his kit
and boots. Nobody says no to an England call up (unless you are Jamie Boo-Hoo Carragher) However

Well I'm sure you've seen the score by now. I don't really have the heart to repeat it. You may
have noted that this is incredibly late. As I said previously I had to visit England to visit my
dying grandmother (she passed late Monday night), I got home yesterday at midnight Texas time, 6 AM
my body clock time, after no less than 24 hours of traveling.
Marcus Hahnemann is back in the US MNT roster with his new ride (hint: it's his bike don't get
you hopes up for a pimped out 1970s army tank or something), but first, the best news of the week
from The AP:
U.S. forward Charlie Davies was released from a Washington hospital on Tuesday nearly a month
after a car accident killed a fellow passenger.
