With another exciting weekend of Premiership action behind us, all eyes are set on next week - or are they? It was FIFA’s great plan to throw yet another international week into the fixture list, so the world’s top players are all getting on planes and jetting away from the clubs that pay them. Players such as Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard have a short plane ride to Germany while other players like Cristiano Ronaldo can look forward to a long flight to Brazil - and back.

Following what we can all agree was utterly astonishing news regarding Harry Redknapp’s switch to Tottenham, Tony Adams has taken over at the Fratton Park helm, an appointment which has initially gone down rather well with the Portsmouth faithful.
Its evident that Tony Adams has been weighing the job up ever since Redknapp approached the ex-Gunner to become his number 2 way back in 2006 following an unsuccessful spell as Wycombe Wanderers manager; a theory which Harry openly admitted in his first Spurs press conference.
Adams, 42, seems more than excited at …

Following Hull City’s 3-0 defeat at the hands of Chelsea the other night, Brazilian star Geovanni has managed to walk away from the game with a big confidence boost, having impressed fellow countryman Luiz Felipe Scolari.
Scolari was full of praise for the new fans favorite at the KC Stadium, and admired what the 28 year old has contributed to his side’s amazing start to life in the Premier League. With 4 goals already to his name, rumors have circulated regarding a possible recall into the prestigious national side for Geovanni, …

Just a few months ago - especially throughout last season - all of England was wondering if English football would ever return to the glory days of 1966. Sitting home for the summer, the glory boys of English football could only watch teams like Germany and Portugal square off against Europe’s elite. With no hero in sight, it looked like this lack of form would carry over into the season.

Wayne Rooney - who was previously said to be the savior - started to stall and lose English fans’ confidence. Just …

The suits of the English Premier League are constantly thinking of ways to make the sport and the league better, and this summer two major changes were implemented. First, the FA chose to introduce a special “respect” campaign which will (hypothetically) eliminate abuse of match officials. The second change, and the more effective one, allows Premiership clubs to name seven subs to the bench. The old rule only allowed five.
Your initial reaction might be something like “but what does having two more players on the bench have to do with …

In the wake of England’s disappointing performance against the Czech Republic, Premiership Talk takes a look at the five players who have proven themselves in the English Premier League and deserve a call-up. Nominate your players by joining the Premiership Talk Forum.
1. Gabriel Agbonlahor. Agbonlahor is an extremely pacy winger/striker for Aston Villa who can almost always be counted on to come up with the goods. Gabriel made a loud and clear statement to England manager Fabio Capello on the opening day of the season as he grabbed the first …

English football suffered an uncomfortable night as a muddled display from Fabio Capello’s side was played out against the backdrop of high-level political intrigue in Soho Square. While England struggled against an impressive looking Czech Republic side, whispers of Brian Barwick leaving his post at the FA echoed around Wembley Stadium. Confirmation swiftly came that Barwick was indeed on his way as part of what might be politely termed a “re-structure”, this time instigated by Lord Triesman, the FA’s first independent chairman.
However, this was the least of England’s worries as …

United States international Michael Bradley is currently attracting the interest of three English clubs. With Celtic also hot on his heels, Dutch club Heerenveen has stated that Bradley is available for transfer at the right price. Bradley is fresh off of the Olympics and is returning to Europe today.
Middlesbrough, Blackburn, and Everton are the three sides interested in the American. He has previously been sought after by clubs like Derby County. Many people in American soccer circles believe that Bradley has what it takes to make it in the Premier …

As a supporter from America, I’ve always had a soft spot for Fulham. With Brian McBride, Carlos Bocanegra, Clint Dempsey, Eddie Johnson, and Kasey Keller all previously (or currently) on their roster, Fulham is a squad that has always trusted and depended on American players.
McBride was Fulham’s evergreen captain - the man who was always there to score that crucial goal. Carlos Bocanegra was hit and miss at times for the club from London. When he’s on his game he’s a solid defender who is good for a few goals …
