A fantastic article on the science of management

Molto Calcio 04 February @ 09:47 AM EDT
Yesterday i was at soccernet.com and came across a Damian Hughes article on the psychology of succeeding in team sports. The article is really about any organization that consist of a group of people who need to be lead to achieve success. Its a great piece that attempts to understand why England under one manager can suffer but under another thrive. Click to continue reading...

Dressing room thieves are fans too

Dirty Tackle 05 January @ 04:42 PM EDT

Just because a couple of thieves are busy robbing both teams blind while they play each other doesn't mean they don't care about results. During the non-league Bristol Premier Combination match between home side Brimsham Green and Oldland Abbotonians Reserves last Saturday, that's exactly what happened.

How Much Attention Do You Give Premier League Games?

EPL Talk 15 December @ 07:30 AM EDT

If you're like me, you probably find that it's getting harder and harder to watch Premier League games without being interrupted. And the interruptions are sometimes my own fault whether it's my laptop and my inclination to open as many tabs as possible on my Chrome browser. Or my addiction to Twitter, or the ability to watch more than one Premier League game at a time.

Agents, Transfers & The Love of the Game

Just-Football 08 December @ 05:10 AM EDT
by Steve Candy
Like mineral water and volcanic rock it seems that all money in football must now be filtered through agents. I don't want to attack agents; it happens often enough and in my opinion they thrive because football needs them to exist. In order to go back to ‘the good old days' we would first have to remove 24/7 television coverage, the internet, mobile phones and players' inability to speak for themselves.

Life's a Beach

The Footbal Tragic 18 October @ 06:21 AM EDT
This is one of the most hilarious goals of recent times, unless you're a Liverpool fan.
And, of course, by any standards of common sense it shouldn't have been a goal at all. (I just tested this on my wife, incidentally, who is conversant with the rules of the game and considered the awarding of the goal an outrage. Click to continue reading...

River Plate: ‘This Number Has Been Disconnected’.

The Offside 14 October @ 03:30 PM EDT
Things are not great in Argentina at the moment. The national team is, as you may have heard, riding through tumultuous times at the hand of perhaps the only unfireable man in the country. Fortunately they're masters of their own destiny this evening, so perhaps that will change. Domestically it was a tough start to the [. Click to continue reading...

High Street Strut: Frank Lampard v Robbie Savage

KICKETTE 28 September @ 10:49 AM EDT

It's a fact of life: footballers, mobile phones and denim belong together. They're like champagne and strawberries. Vodka and soda. Martinis and olives. Baileys and breakfast.

Is it drinking time yet?

Sorry, what were we on about? Oh yes, footy players and their favourite uniforms.

Why Do So Few Supporters Tweet At Football Grounds?

EPL Talk 23 September @ 05:30 AM EDT

When I launched EPL Talk in 2005, my initial vision for the site was that it would be highly interactive and would embrace technology to bring English football supporters closer together. The main feature at that time was an online chat that would be hosted every weekend so that website visitors could chat at the same time they were watching Premier League matches, no matter where they lived in the world.

20,000 registrations? You're dreaming

Football in the Capital 24 August @ 06:38 PM EDT
The next time someone in Canberra tells you we've a huge junior base with 20,000 kids/registrations tell them they are dreaming, same goes for 260,000 registrations across NSW or the paltry 50,000 in Victoria.
What we have is a lot of people playing independently in their own clubs, maximum community in Canberra is Woden Valley 1800. Click to continue reading...

Cashley Cole has spoken…Poll-why not ignore the sh*t? as it could be a set up!

Arsenal Insider 23 July @ 11:37 AM EDT

Cashley Cole's hatred for all things Arsenal can be seen in encounters. He gestures to fans and is aggressive in the tackle with our players. He thinks that he is god's gift to Chelsea. In fairness he does receive alot of vile and offensive abuse. The intimate use of mobile phones and associations with homosexuals being some of the false accusations levelled at the player.

We're just weeks away from the start of the 2009-2010 Premier League season, and the excitement and suspense is already building (Fulham today played the first friendly of the season involving an English team down under today).

As a child playing in the Youth Cup for Everton, Wayne Rooney showed a "once a blue, always a blue" shirt, proclaiming his love for his boyhood club.
