Stoke boss Pulis unhappy with stoppage time

Premiership Talk Blog 30 October @ 05:00 PM EST

Perhaps the biggest debate of the 2009-2010 Premier League season has been stoppage time. Premiership fans witnessed Michael Owen propel Manchester United to a derby day victory over cross-town rivals City in stoppage time, and last weekend we saw Stoke battle on through five minutes of stoppage time to hold on to a slender 1-0 lead over hosts Tottenham.

Should City Fans Be Mad at Adebayor?

Premiership Talk Blog 16 September @ 11:20 PM EST

All of this week's headlines have focused on one man: Emmanuel Adebayor. The striker from Togo was at it once again yesterday as he accepted his charges from the FA. Respectable? Yes. Does it make up for what he did? No. But now City fans are caught in the middle - Adebayor's acceptance has ruled him out of the Manchester derby at a time when his squad is lacking firepower up front.

Â


Carlos Tevez is already accustomed to wearing light blue while on national team duty with Argentina. It appears he is ready to wear the color full-time as he is on the verge of signing with Manchester City.

The former Manchester United striker is set to join United's cross-town rival in a deal sure to anger United fans who grew to love the mercurial striker.

Gameday 6 Recap - GFC v. Grimsby Thistle...

The Grimsby Football Club 04 July @ 06:10 PM EST
Short but sweet. The match and this write up.
The venerable Grimsby Derby always makes me scratch my chin and wonder what Thistle team will show up. They can run the ball, they can score, they can humble and humiliate at times and they can be downright dirty when they're in the mood. We've clashed heads for years with these boys and despite our friendships off the pitch, on it is a different matter entirely. Click to continue reading...

Manchester United Away Jersey For 09/10 Season Leaked

EPL Talk 04 July @ 07:00 AM EST

Is this the new Man United away jersey for the 2009-2010 season? It sure looks like it.

The leaked picture features a gray shirt with a blue V (or chevron, as the Brits like to say). Designed and manufactured by Nike, it features a similar design to Man United's new home kit.

The shirt colours are definitely a diversion from what United has done in the past, but if the colours represented in the picture above are true, I wonder what the Red Devils will think about wearing the sky blue colour of their cross-town brethren?

Tevez could not join Liverpool

Fantasy EPL 21 June @ 10:36 AM EST
So Tevez is set to finally leave Manchester United. Evidently ManU brought some of the CRon monies to him, but he and (more likely or) his agent said, 'no thank you'.
This Joorabchian is some piece of work, isn't he? Not content with the chance to say no to Utd, he's taken the opportunity to rub salt in their wounds. Click to continue reading...

SoccerLens 08 June @ 11:39 PM EST

These have been a disappointing few years to forget for the red half of the San Siro, not only have AC Milan watched cross town rivals Internazionale manage to win the Serie A title back to back for the last 4 years, but they have been slowly sinking from perennial Serie A and Champions League challengers to UEFA cup participants.

Pumas' Historic Stadium Plays Host to Another Final

Center Holds It 28 May @ 07:17 PM EST
The first of the two-legged Final takes place tonight at Pumas' home stadium, Estadio Universitario, Estadio Olimpico, Estadio Mexico68, CU. It has many names. It may not have the historical footie cache as the Azteca has(if two dazzling world cup finals aren't enough, may I present Italy's 4-3 semi final classic over W Germany in 1970), but it has its share of unforgettable moments, and not all of them have to do with futbol.

Friendly: Grenoble Foot 38 vs. Lyon

The Offside - Olympique Lyonnais 08 May @ 09:35 AM EST


Stade Camille Fournier d'Evian, Grenoble
Friday 8, May 2009
(17:00CET, 16:00GMT)

Today, Lyon are up in Evian to play an amicable match against one of our cross-town rivals, Grenoble. Judging by the group list and current state of crisis at OL, Puel is taking nothing lightly: not a single CFA player was called-up, and every first-team player except Santos- suspended for ten days, and probably never to set foot on OL premeses again- has made the trip.
