Observations From Saturday’s Premier League Games, Matchday 12

EPL Talk 07 November @ 02:24 PM EST

As you know, EPL Talk focuses on the Premier League and not the lower leagues of England, but my day didn't start so well when Setanta-i had technical problems which prevented me and all other Setanta-i customers from viewing the Welsh derby featuring the club I've supported all my life, Swansea City, against Cardiff City.

Where Arsenal stand today

Arsenal Insider 07 November @ 10:33 AM EST

By Paul Williams The season is beginning to take shape now, everyone has played enough games for the hopes and worries to be well set. So far the season for Arsenal has been generally good. However, we are entering November – a month all Arsenal fans have learnt to worry over.

Today we take on Wolves and all sensible comment would suggest another three points, after all we have only lost 2 games all season and the Manure defeat was, to say the least, undeserved.

United’s depleted defence will have to be ready to face Drogba and co.

ManUtd24 07 November @ 09:18 AM EST

Forget Haye v Valuev, this is the big one Chelsea v Manchester United. This year's favourites take on the Premier League champions. But while Chelsea and Drogba are in top form, United's injury problems mount.

And it is Didier Drogba who pundits alike are talking about. He is in the best form of his life, and if there was a better time to face United for the Ivory Coast forward, it would have to be now as he will be up against a rather depleted looking back line.

Have Arsenal peaked or plateaued?

Gerrard: LFC Has Exciting Kids At Academy

Anfield Talk 06 November @ 12:41 PM EST
Steven Gerrard believes there are several exciting prospects at the Academy who could one day take the Premier League by storm.
Not since Gerrard broke on to the scene in 1998 has Liverpool produced a world-class star.
The skipper, though, thinks all that could soon change as the new-look Academy led by Frank McParland and Kenny Dalglish looks to get players into Rafa Benitez's first team. Click to continue reading...

Fantasy Football Picks

FOOTBALLSUP 06 November @ 10:16 AM EST

We haven't done this for a while here are our best three picks for this week and the weeks ahead... Although we make no assurances they will be successful.

1. David Dunn

He's fat, he's round, he's only five point seven million pound... David Dunn. By a margin Blackburn's outstanding performer this season, Dunn has already notched four goals, and in only seven appearances.

Harry’s not worried

White Hart Pain 06 November @ 03:23 AM EST

Just when Rafa Benitez thought things couldn't get any worse, a study published by Foster's today reveals the Liverpool manager is officially one of the most worried managers in the Premiership.

The leading Aussie beer brand analysed the interviews and statements from every Premiership manager since the beginning of the season using its Ozometer, an algorithm developed specifically to analyse language and word sequences to determine how worried or carefree a person is.

Aston Villa v Bolton
That was terrible loss to West Ham on Wednesday's night for Villa and they will be looking to get back on the winning track against a Bolton tea, that just has to be glad that they are not playing Chelsea again. It is clear that Chelsea, Arsenal and Man Utd are the class of the Premier League.

PLTO Premier League Top Performers

According to John Cross at MirrorFootball, Blackburn boss Sam Allardyce is preparing a £4million bid for Nacional Madeira midfielder Ruben Micael. Micael's contract expires in 2011 and so far talks between him and the club have stalled.

Please Stay Fit Wayne Rooney

England World Cup Blog 04 November @ 03:11 PM EST

Wayne Rooney contributed what looked like a good all round performance for Man Utd vs Blackburn on Saturday, featuring some nice link play and a sweet sweet goal which he swept home to make it 2-0 (around 4:10 in the above video).

I saw about 15 minutes of the game live, and there was also a magic little inside-of-the-foot-with-back-to-goal pass that somehow didn't make the Match of the Day cut.

Benni Wants to Jet

English Premier league 04 November @ 06:30 AM EST

As the transfer window continues to creep closer many disgruntled players are beginning to air their dirty laundry. One of these upset players is thirty-one year old Benni McCarthy of  the Blackburn Rovers. McCarthy really can't be blamed either. The vet who has been with the squad since 2006 has been allowed only one start all season and Blackburn continues to struggle to seek positive results.

Blackburn Striker McCarthy Rumors

English Premier League Transfer Rumors & News 03 November @ 09:05 PM EST

According to the Lancashire Telegraph, despite the fact that Blackburn striker Benni McCarthy wants to leave, the club will not get rid of him. It states that boss Sam Allardyce does not want to sell him as his options are going to be limited up top once Franco Di Santo returns to Chelsea when his loan deal ends.

San Jose Frustrated In Spain

Anfield Talk 03 November @ 04:34 PM EST
Liverpool youngster Mikel San Jose may be set to return from his loan spell in Spain ahead of schedule.

He has been awarded just seven minutes of action this term and feels he needs to explore other avenues. Click to continue reading...

The Beautiful Game

All Four One, and One Four All! 02 November @ 10:51 PM EST

The past two weeks have been brilliant as far as Chelsea are concerned. 17 goals scored without reply in all competitions. Sadly for other fans though, they would probably have missed the spectacle due to a host of other much-hyped fixtures. Consider this:

21 Oct
Spotlight: Real Madrid v AC Milan
Chelsea 4 0 Atletico Madrid

24 Oct
Spotlight: Liverpool v Man Utd
Chelsea 5 0 Blackburn

28 Oct
Spotlight: Arsenal v Liverpool
Chelsea 4 0 Bolton

31 Oct
Spotlight: Arsenal v Tottenham
Bolton 0 4 Chelsea

Sexy, beautiful, breath-taking, bewitching, captivating, enthralling, irresistible, mesmerizing.

United 2 – Blackburn 0 : The Obertan Era Begins… with a scuffed shot wide…

The Offside: Manchester United 02 November @ 11:07 AM EST

So another decent performance sees United secure all three points at Old Trafford. Overall, I was pleased with the result, but still found a few things troubling. The inability of our three main strikers to score consistently when given the opportunity is slightly worrying, but Obertan's EPL debut coupled with Berba's world class finish left me as happy as could be.

Obertan’s debut – the birth of a superstar?

Premiership Talk Blog 02 November @ 10:00 AM EST

As a Manchester United fan Saturday's 2-0 win over Blackburn represented much more than just three points. Not only did Dimitar Berbatov score yet another sensational goal, but young French winger Gabriel Obertan made his Premier League debut. Obertan impressed midweek in the Carling Cup against Barnsley, but seeing him against Premiership opposition just meant that much more.

Berbatov is…The Continental

Dirty Tackle 02 November @ 06:58 AM EST

Well hello there.

I see you've caught me talking on the phone. Perhaps you are extremely jealous that you don't have my undivided attention? ... No, I'm not on a phone sex hotline, I'm talking to my cousin Timitar about my fantastic goal against Blackburn. Ha-HA! It really was quite impressive.

My First Impression Of Man United’s Gabriel Obertan

EPL Talk 02 November @ 06:30 AM EST

Saturday's snoozy session between Manchester United and Blackburn Rovers turned Old Trafford into a literal Theatre of Dreams. Even the linesman sailed off to the Land of Nod, for what other excuse could there be for deeming Rovers sub Nikola Kalinic offside when he banged in Edwin Van der Sar's deflection off a Benni McCarthy strike for a goal?

Portsmouth To Win The Premier League?

SoccerLens 02 November @ 02:50 AM EST

About six weeks ago I did a piece predicting West Ham to win the Premier League based on their league position this year and Manchester United's league position last year after 5 games.

That prediction hasn't been working out too well (hopefully you didn't think I was serious...although I'm pretty sure I still managed to annoy some Millwall fans.
