Poll: Which EPL Team Do You Least Look Forward To Watching On TV?

EPL Talk 22 November @ 08:00 AM EST

Okay, admit it. Even though you thoroughly enjoy watching the Premier League, especially your favorite team each week, there are often times when you're not too bothered about missing a match on television featuring teams that either don't excite you or that you're not interested in.

But which team in particular do you dread watching more than any other in the Premier League?

Fergie: FA Use Rooney Every Blinking Time!

Republik Of Mancunia 21 November @ 06:12 AM EST

Sir Alex Ferguson gets in a dig at the FA after point out how often Wayne Rooney is used to do all the press for England.

Liverpool: That's Why We Signed Him

Anfield Talk 11 November @ 12:05 PM EST
When Liverpool paid Portsmouth £18m for Glen Johnson more than a few eyebrows were raised and plenty of those raised were from us Reds fans. The more Johnson plays for Liverpool though the more you can see that he is becoming worth every penny that we paid for him as he adds a whole new dimension to the Reds side.

Fat Ronaldo finally admits it

Dirty Tackle 11 November @ 12:05 AM EST

It's finally happened. Fat Ronaldo has admitted that he's a chubby tub of goo. (A very talented chubby tub of goo, but still a chubby tub of goo, nonetheless.)

In an interview with Globo television, The Fat One, who has 11 goals for Corinthians this season, said that he wouldn't call himself up to the Brazilian national team right now, that he will put forth perhaps the greatest effort of his career to make the team, and that he thinks the first half of 2010 will be vital blah blah blah.

Happy Birthday Sesame Street

Booked for Dissent 10 November @ 12:24 PM EST

I'm sure you've all heard by now that today is the 40th anniversary of the debut of Sesame Street. Last Friday, Fresh Air did a great tribute show, replaying older interviews with Jeff Moss, Frank Oz and Christopher Cerf, all of whom were essential in creating the show. Growing up, my favorites were Oscar The Grouch and Cookie Monster, so it was great to hear Moss talk about how he created those characters.

Barney Miller

Booked for Dissent 04 November @ 12:59 AM EST

Last month I discovered that MeTV, a local retro television channel, was showing Barney Miller reruns, and I've just had a blast seeing these shows I haven't seen in years. Although it was very successful during its eight-season run from 1975-82, I don't think it got the proper respect. That's probably due to the fact that there were so many other groundbreaking sitcoms at the time (the same goes for the original Bob Newhart Show, which MeTV also broadcasts).

Wow, what a game. For all the stick we've given him here, Conor Casey came up shockingly huge and deserves a lot of credit for his performance. Landy again left his mark. And holy crap did we get lucky after Stu Holden's handball.

Something to Be Proud Of! (The Carling Cup Victory)

The Offside - Bolton Wanderers 23 September @ 11:31 PM EST

Well it must be said my mindset on this match was not as optimistic as my match preview might have suggested. I spent all of yesterday talking it down to myself, saying it was only the Carling Cup, and besides if we got knocked out that would only let us focus more on the league and the FA Cup. But honestly I don't think I've been more pleased with Bolton in a really long time, perhaps even since our stunning comeback at Stamford Bridge in April, even though it was just a Carling Cup tie.
