England: Premier League Report + Table

Sanford's Soccer Net 05 November @ 09:33 AM EST
Three points, two injuries, one hero: this was a mixed night for West Ham United that ended in pure joy. When injuries to Carlton Cole and Hérita Ilunga were followed by a freakish equaliser for Aston Villa, the scene seemed set for yet another promising performance to end in another disappointing result.

The clock is ticking for Hull

| Post Match Pint 04 November @ 06:15 AM EST
After a decade in relative anonymity at the wrong end of the English football league pyramid, you would think Hull City fans would be enjoying their spell in the limelight. But given the worrying nature of the headlines over the past few weeks, you could forgive them for wishing for a return to the peace and quiet of the lower leagues. Click to continue reading...

Twitter fine and LINKS

The Beautiful Game (2) 02 November @ 06:43 PM EST
So Jozy Altidore was dropped for showing up to a Hull City game late. Then he was fined for tweeting an apology for being late.
Not a good day for the youngster.
Maybe some links will cheer him up.

Mike Jones Does Phil Brown No Favors

EPL Talk 02 November @ 12:27 PM EST

I recently asked the question: When Will Phil Brown Go?, & it seems in all actuality I'm no closer to an accurate answer of that question than when I posed it last week. Hull City lost another football match this weekend at Turf Moor to current over-achievers Burnley, 2-0. Two Graham Alexander goals were enough to see off a brave Hull City that will feel slightly cheated by the outcome.

EPL roundup (coaches on the hot seat)

The Beautiful Game (2) 02 November @ 10:34 AM EST
I haven't been paying much attention to the Premiership action these last couple weeks, but one glance at the table shows my pick Chelsea still leading the way.
Liverpool has a gastly 6-5-0 record, so I can only imagine that Reds fans and the English press are putting the pressure on Rafa Benitez (above). Click to continue reading...

Brown Passes Jozy The Olive Branch

The Offside - NY Red Bulls 02 November @ 09:12 AM EST

Phil Brown has been talking a storm about Jozy's "Twittergate" this week, including gems like this:

Asked if Altidore had put the twit in Twitter, an unimpressed Brown replied: "I'd have put an 'a' in it."

Now that is the kind of comment Maradona would be proud of!

Tenth Week Conclusions in the Premiership

Footy Factor 02 November @ 05:35 AM EST

Pompey mount revival. Following a miserable season start of 7 losses, conceding 13 goals and netting just 3 in the process, the South Coast club, rooted in last place, were everyone's early season pick for relegation. But how quickly things change in football. In the last 4 matches, Portsmouth have scored 10 goals, conceded just 2 and amassed 7 crucial points on the way to Premiership survival.

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.

Phil Brown Has One Match to Save His Hull Career

Soccer Statistics 01 November @ 07:57 PM EST
Adam Pearson, the new chairman of Hull City, has told manager Phil Brown that he has one more match to save his Hull City career.
"The manager was expected to be dismissed after the 2-0 defeat away to Burnley on Saturday, but it seems he has earned himself a stay of execution for one more game at least because of the woeful performance of Mike Jones, the referee, at Turf Moor. Click to continue reading...

Off track: defending Hull City’s Phil Brown

Craven Cottage Newsround 01 November @ 06:30 AM EST

Last night's Match of the Day was great fun, for obvious reasons.  But as the games wore on, I couldn't help feel sorry for Hull City.  Here we saw them lose 2-0 at Burnley, and fall victim to some fairly ordinary refereeing.  When you're struggling these things seem to happen, and Phil Brown is now under a lot of pressure (as if he wasn't before).

Vive le Foot!

Sanford's Soccer Net 30 October @ 12:08 PM EST
The major non-event of last weekend was the cancellation of the Classico between Marseille and Paris SG. The supporters made up for it by rioting in downtown Marseille antagonizing locals and behaving like the idiots they are. Many arrests, mostly local fans when it seemed like the Parisians started it all. Click to continue reading...
