Liverpool will feel robbed today following their 2-1 defeat to Manchester United, despite being the better team for most of the game. Even after going down to ten men following Jonjo Shelvey’s challenge on Jonny Evans, when it could be argued the United man also could have received his marching orders, Liverpool still managed to […]
Tottenham v QPR 16:00 – Tottenham’s season looks finally to be up and running after they beat Reading 3-1 away from home. Two goals from a sharp-looking Jermain Defoe, aided by impressive performances by Mousa Dembele and Sandro in the midfield engine room, ensured a dominant win for the previously under-fire Andre Villas-Boas. – Jermain […]
Man City v Arsenal 16:00 – Man City were frustrated by a dogged Stoke at the Brittania as a 1-1 draw proved all they could muster. Debutant Javi Garcia’s assured header was the only time City managed to breach a resolute Stoke defence, as they lacked some of their usual flair and potency with Yaya […]
Newcastle v Norwich 15:00 – A dramatic late goal from Demba Ba saved a point for Newcastle against an unfortunate Everton on Monday evening. Ba’s earlier goal, supplied by Yohan Cabaye, gave Alan Pardew’s side a needed point in a thrilling encounter. – French midfielder Cabaye epitomised Newcastle’s refusal to give up on victory against […]
Liverpool v Man Utd 13:30 – A second half equaliser from Luis Suarez granted Liverpool a point away to Sunderland, in a week full of emotion for their fans following the revelations surrounding the Hillsborough disaster earlier in the week.

In order to set the scene ahead of their latest meeting on Sunday, here is a look back at some important numbers from their previous 20 top-flight meetings at Anfield: […]
West Brom v Reading 15:00 – West Brom’s fine start to the season was ended in more ways than one against Fulham, as they failed to find the net and had Peter Odemwingie sent off after a reckless challenge. There were some bright spots for the Baggies though, as Romelu Lukaku again acquitted himself well […]
Swansea v Everton 12:45 – Swansea fell to their first defeat in the Premier League this season, losing 2-0 to Aston Villa. Although Nathan Dyer and Angel Rangel both looked dangerous for the visitors, the Swans were unable to muster a consistent enough threat on goal to prevent Villa leaving with all 3 points. – […]
West Ham v Sunderland 15:00 – West Ham fought to a 0-0 draw against Norwich despite managing to create a number of chances on John Ruddy’s goal. Although Carlton Cole, Kevin Nolan and others managed to carve out opportunities, the Hammers are still searching for their first points away from home this season. – Midfielder […]
Southampton v Aston Villa 15:00 – Southampton were brushed aside by a free-flowing Arsenal as they fell to a heavy 6-1 defeat. Although two own goals from Jos Hooveld and Nathaniel Clyne certainly didn’t help the scoreline’s appearance, the Saints will have had few complaints after being outplayed in a clinical display from the Gunners. […]
Don’t be fooled by the title; I’m not about to go through Spain’s fiscal issues. What I am going to talk about though is the current problems that are shielded from the average television viewer. “The top division alone holds a combined debt of $4.61 billion through the 2010-11 season, with six of the teams […]
Chelsea v Stoke 15:00 – Chelsea’s perfect start to the season was disrupted by a dogged QPR as both sides failed to find the net in a fiery encounter. The match was largely overshadowed by the continuing controversy surrounding Anton Ferdinand and John Terry, as Chelsea continued their disappointing run of results at Loftus Road. […]
England have qualified for the UEFA Women’s Euro 2013 Finals after a 3-0 win over Croatia in Walsall.

It […]

Research from hotel.info has revealed the true cost of Champions League […]
There is something a little special about Jano Ananidze. Never heard of him? He could be soon heading to a Premier League club near you… First of all perhaps comparing Ananidze with Modric in the title was a little unfair. However the similarities between the pair are very obvious to see. Ananidze stands at 5 […]
