EPL Talk 27 October @ 06:18 AM EST

It's been a strange but heartwarming Premier League season so far in that no manager has been sacked, at least not quite yet. But when was the last time a manager was sacked so late in the season?

Keegan’s tribunal findings - summary.

Newcastle United Blog - NUFC news, blogs and debate. 02 October @ 08:17 AM EST
Thanks to Startdust for posting the breaking news about Keegan winning his constructive dismissal case against Newcastle United.

A Scorpion Kick from Dynamo’s new DP

Jared Montz’s Weblog 23 August @ 03:52 AM EST

Luis Angel Landin recently signed with the Houston Dynamo and became their first designated player a few days ago. I am not a breaking news source but I thought I would mention who this person is scoring a phenomenal goal in the above video. They call that a Scorpion Kick I think??

Don't know if he does them all the time but if he scores one like that in MLS I have no doubt it would be a top choice for Goal of the Year!

United defeat Boca Juniors in Audi Cup!

Manutd Blog 30 July @ 02:49 AM EST

Antonio Valencia made an impressive start to his Manchester United career as he scored in a 2-1 win over Boca Juniors in the Audi Cup in Munich.

The £16 million signing from Wigan skipped past two players before drilling a low shot into the net to make it 2-0 in the 42nd minute, and while Boca keeper Roberto Abbonanzieri made an incredible howler in letting the ball spill under his body, it was still a fine goal from the Ecuadorian.
