As part of our continuing partnership with the guys over at Soccer Pro, from time to time they send us products to test out and review. This month we received a pair of Nike Mercurial Vapor V cleats to try out, and after three matches of playing in them I must admit that I have only good things to say about them.

Hello Gooners. West Ham 2 Arsenal 2 it finished. Excuse the rage I'm feeling right now but I'll try not to be downright acidic in my assessment in London Derby Number 2 against the Hammers.

Complacency, CarltonCole and Choking. 3 C's I said we needed to be wary of against the Hammers.

 I apologize to the joker for stealing that quote but it fits in well with this mini review of the match against AZ Alkmaar.

We've now played three games and collected 7 points. Most often than not, 9 points usually does the trick with regards to qualification. We have two home games, one against Alkmaar and the other against Liege.

With yet another exciting Premier League weekend in the books it's time to review this weekend's winners and losers.

Winners Robbie Keane

Robbie Keane emerges from this weekend as the biggest winner. The Tottenham striker has had a relatively quiet start to the season, oftentimes playing second fiddle to the red hot Jermain Defoe.

Alan Hansen on Match of the Day gave credit to Fulham. And deservedly so. But at the same time he took away credit from Arsenal. He said on another day Fulham would have won, but Stoke never looked like winning against Utd. Which for me translates as Utd were solid, Arsenal by comparison were weaker.

With the arrival of the weekend, football fans across the world are returning to following their respective teams in another series of cracking fixtures. However, excitement is going to reach a whole different level next weekend, when the much awaited FIFA 10 releases in Australia (October 1) and Europe (October 2).

Never. Even if you have 4 shots, score 4 and the opposition have 20 and outplay out the whole game. But if you read in some quarters, Wigan were poor, they didn't take their chances and oh, Eboue is a disgrace.
A big positive we can take from this game is the way we are getting results against so called 'smaller teams'. Click to continue reading...

With the commencement of the UEFA Champions League group stages this midweek, an important piece of news was relegated to the back of most reporting outlets. Perhaps another reason behind the lack of coverage for the story in question was the refusal, on part of most football lovers, to recollect any part of the uninspiring internationals break.

We won't talk about United players who will be with their national teams. Because it is clear that Wayne Rooney, hopefully, will be England hero against Malta. We will review Manchester United away...

Unfortunately, Dasan Robinson cannot be the fall guy for this one. After his late heroics/ complete stupidity against Colorado, I can't remember that last time that I wanted kiss something and kill it at the same time, I thought the Fire were in for a long night against DC United.

With only 3 healthy defenders, the Fire entrusted the LB duties to Mike Banner, the second year youngster who weighs maybe a buck-thirty and spends most of his time playing as an attacking midfielder.

Sir Alex Ferguson was in no mood for charity after Chelsea struck the first psychological blow ahead of the new Premier League season with a 4-1 penalty shoot-out win at Wembley on Sunday.

The Scot was furious that referee Chris Foy failed to spot a blatant block by substitute Michael Ballack on Patrice Evra prior to Chelsea scoring a "deciding" second goal on 70 minutes.

The pre-season is in full flow and the build up to the new season is getting more exciting by the day. Therefore, let's take pre-season preparation as a variable to preview this upcoming season in football rather than discussing the oft-repeated, boring variable known as the transfer market.

The Beckham Experiment: How the World's Most Famous Athlete Tried to Conquer America by Grant Wahl
If you've been following MLS in the last month you've heard about the uproar that this book has caused. Donovan calling the world's most famous player a poor teammate and a cheapskate, Beckham calling the book "unoffical" or "unauthorized", and MLS trying to stay out of the way.

Everyone in American soccer has been talking about Grant Wahl's book, "The Beckham Experiment" and everything involved with it. I was given the chance a few weeks ago to get a copy of the book and review it. With the game against David Beckham and the Galaxy coming up I figured it was the perfect time to get my review of the book out. Click to continue reading...

I am not quite sure how much of an audience an article about the German Bundesliga can get, but I will still give it a shot. After all, if there is one league that has continued to offer an air-tight title race throughout the year, it has to be the German first division. With two games to go, as many as four teams have a realistic chance of being crowned champions.

I get messages from time to time from my blogger account. Usually it's from people who want to pay me a paltry sum of money in order to cover my blog with ads. Or its spam offering cheap viagra...

While some of us Premier League fans must be jubilant with celebrations right now, others are still sure to be hurting, as the first leg of the Champions League quarterfinals is already in the books. Rather than reviewing the Champions League results, however, this article focuses on moving on to this weekend's Premier League fixtures for the "Big Four", and how their Champions League outings will end up affecting their Premier League outings this weekend.

Let's be completely honest here, one of the single most annoying things in the history of mankind is trying to find a proper football video on YouTube.

The Game of their Lives (retitled The Miracle Match for the DVD release) is a 2005 film telling the story of the 1950 U.S. World Cup team that shocked the world by beating England 1-0. If Al Michaels were covering the match in 1950 he would have used his "Do you believe in miracles? YES" line for this team instead of the 1980 Olympic Hockey team. Click to continue reading...

If you tuned in to last Sunday's Premiership Talk Podcast, you would have heard me discuss the "Right Result table." What is this mythical table, and what exactly does it mean? Let me explain... The guys over at RightResult.net have been "fixing" refereeing errors in the Premier League for some time now. Click to continue reading...

Here at Premiership Talk we received three soccer balls to test out from SoccerPro. The first soccer ball that we tested out was the ever popular Nike T90 Strike. Right from the second I pumped the ball up I could tell it is a quality ball. The material on the outside of the ball is extremely durable, and very padded. Click to continue reading...

The weather may have gotten the better of the Scottish Cup games at Forfar, Brechin and Inverurie, but there was plenty of action in the other fixtures taking place. We round up the Scottish Cup action with the reports from the various club sites (where possible) and some nice pictures. Click to continue reading...

To help fill some of the down time before the season I'm going to add some reviews of soccer games, books, and movies. First up is this year's Football Manager release.
The Football Manager(FM) series is the continuation of the legendary Championship Manager series by SI Games. It is the most complete sports management simulation in the market today, with only Out Of The Park Baseball (Now also a SI Games property) approaching it. Click to continue reading...

So here we are then. The end of another year. Where on Earth did it go, one has to ask?
So much has happened, so much forgotten and so much still fresh in the mind. Manchester United became World and European champions... Portsmouth won the FA Cup against Cardiff City, of all people... Spain won Euro 2008 (of all people). Click to continue reading...

Aye aye all, it's Wednesday (if only just), so just time for a quick update. This week we have news of another disastrous week of European football for the only Scottish team left in the Champions League and the third managerial casualty of the season tries to make ends meet with his Giro. We begin [. Click to continue reading...
