PLTO Premier League Matches of the Week (Nov 7)

English Premier league 06 November @ 06:13 AM EST

Chelsea-Manchester United

First off wowsers!  When we say this weekend is a big match we don't exaggerate (like some other weeks) as number one hosts number two in this fight for the top spot. These two clubs have passed off the honor of being the Premier League's best week by week and this week seems to be the match where we will find out which team truly is the better squad.

United Agree Compensation

Man United Devils 05 November @ 05:56 AM EST
It has been confirmed that Man United will compensate Barnsley after some United ransacked the kiosks and threatened the young teenage (mainly female) staff. It has been estimated that the ‘fans' caused £10,000 worth of damage.
United did win the match 2-0 and now hopefully things are all sorted and United can concentrate on beating Tottenham Hotspur in the next round. Click to continue reading...

ESPN Doesn’t Know The Difference Between Emirates and Highbury

EPL Talk 04 November @ 10:03 AM EST

In the intro to every Premier League game that ESPN2 shows on Saturday mornings, they begin with a graphic of the world and then zoom in on England and directly to the home ground where the match is played. It's a brilliant sequence, but they goofed this past Saturday when instead of zooming in on the Emirates Stadium, home of Arsenal Football Club, they zoomed in on the Arsenal Stadium, better known as Highbury.

When Wycombe Made The FA Cup Semi-Finals

Twohundredpercent 02 November @ 06:06 PM EST

It's the FA Cup First Round this weekend so, in the first of five pieces about the Oldest Cup Competition In The World (and there's a phrase that is probably copyrighted by The FA), we take a look back at Wycombe Wanderers' run to the semi-finals of the competition in 2001.

The FA Cup is a competition that throws up surprise results every season, but some records remain and one that may never be broken is that no-one from the bottom two divisions of the Football League has made The FA Cup final.

Spurs reveal stadium plans, but transport remains an issue

Soccerphile World Cup Blog 01 November @ 07:39 PM EST
Tottenham Hotspur revealed plans for a 56,000-seat rebuilding of White Hart Lane this week. An undoubted step forward for Spurs, even if the undulating roof-line is a little unoriginal and redolent of Arsenal's new gaff down the Seven Sisters road.
Ashburton Grove's extra capacity means Arsenal are coining in £3million per game, a revenue stream Spurs at present can only dream of matching. Click to continue reading...

League Action

The Soccer Weblog 28 October @ 07:07 AM EST
Score-lines from the weekend's football included a 2-2 draw between West Ham and Arsenal at Upton Park, ahead of Arsenal's rather more bitter London derby this weekend against Tottenham Hotspur. Chelsea trounced Blackburn Rovers 5-0 after a defeat against Aston Villa the week before which keeps them out in front, though in a rather less spectacular points lead. Click to continue reading...

WCR Top 25 Clubs in the World - (First) Buenos Aires Edition

World Club Rankings 26 October @ 06:48 AM EST

My first day in Buenos Aires turned out to be the day of the superclasico, even though I scheduled it months before the schedule came out. Fate? Perhaps. Unfortunately, fate also worked to have me arrive too late to attend the match. Fate can be fickle. Because of the fickle finger of fate, the only picture I have is a blurry one of a television screen showing the end of the match in a café in Buenos Aires.

Spurs v Stoke. Should Have, Could Have, Didn’t.

Tottenham On My Mind 25 October @ 03:18 AM EST
Tottenham Hotspur did not play particularly well against Stoke City, but we played well enough to win. Whilst readily acknowledging our opponents' sterling defensive qualities and admirable teamwork, we dominated for long periods and should have put this one to bed long before Whelan's late winner. A bright start showcased Huddlestone's long range passing, spreading the [. Click to continue reading...

Portsmouth 1-2 Spurs: Complicating the Uncomplicated

All Action, No Plot 18 October @ 10:24 AM EST

Not so much a game of two halves as a game of two thirds and a third third. We seemed to be cruising serenely after an hour or so – but then that wouldn't be the Tottenham way, would it? Cue a wild thump of the self-destruct button, the halving of our lead and a daft sending off. The three points were eventually achieved in slightly nerve-jangling, harum-scarum style.

Liverpool Deflated After 1-0 Loss To Red Balloon and Sunderland

EPL Talk 17 October @ 01:24 PM EST

Can it get any worse for Liverpool? The club played one of their worst first-half performances against Fiorentina in the Champions League a few weeks ago and lost 2-0, which was followed by a very unconvincing display in the 2-0 loss against Chelsea. In addition, the club has already lost to Aston Villa and Tottenham Hotspur in the league.

The £15m Striker Arsenal Would be Wise to Consider Taking a Risk On: Klaas Jan Huntelaar

Caught Offside 15 October @ 10:58 AM EST

Could the Gunners do with another attacking option, or am I just being greedy?

New Napoli coach Walter Mazzarri is keen on recruiting AC Milan striker Klaas-Jan Huntelaar, according to reports.

The 26-year-old Dutch international who was linked with Manchester United, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur during the close-season netted 76 league goals in 92 appearances for Ajax.

Video Of The Week: Brighton vs Spurs – 1983

Twohundredpercent 12 October @ 04:41 AM EST

This week's featured video is a full length episode of TVS's "The Saturday Match" from April 1983. The main match is a critical match between Brighton & Hove Albion and Tottenham Hotspur from The Goldstone Ground. Brighton were bottom of the First Division and without a home a league win since the previous December, but they were still in the FA Cup, and could have been forgiven for having one eye on their upcoming semi-final against Sheffield Wednesday.

Once again the England manager, Fabio Capello, was watching Bolton Wanderers and boosted hopes of Cahill's involvement in two upcoming international fixtures when England take on Belarus and Ukraine.

Today Man United and Arsenal have been linked with a 23-year old midfielder thought to be the next Michael Essien.
Anthony Annan (who currently plays for Rosenborg) had a trial with Blackburn Rovers last season but the move didn't go through. He was also linked last season with Tottenham Hotspur but it now looks like he could move to one of the ‘top four' clubs. Click to continue reading...
