After a midweek that saw two fantastic finishes, a couple upsets, and a few solid performances, I feel that those games definitely equaled, if not surpassed the expectations coming into them. We saw Tottenham, down 4-2 with 5 minutes to play, score 2 goals to tie it, at Arsenal. Just as exciting, we then saw Premiership Talk’s Wednesday Wonder, Marouane Fellaini, score a 90th minute goal to beat Bolton in their own stadium. Also, Stoke and Middlesbrough had huge wins over Sunderland and Manchester City, respectively. How much better can these…
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.

With 4 goals already to his name, rumors have circulated regarding a possible recall into the prestigious national side for Geovanni, but…
Who is Marouane Fellaini? Well if you still don’t know who he is after Saturday’s match against Manchester United, you two better get acquainted. He may only be 20 years old, but he is an important member of the Everton first-team. On Saturday, he had an amazing day on the pitch, and it all culminated with a 63rd minute header goal. This Belgian midfielder means business, and he doesn’t care that he only has 2 years of first-team experience. He is already attracting attention from bigger clubs all around the world.…
After this past weekend’s outcomes, it is safe to say that several teams dubbed it “the revival.” Tottenham got their first win of their season under their new manger, Harry Redknapp. Everton played well at home and was able to draw Manchester United. Hull won big at West Brom to prove that they are no slouches. Sunderland was able to win the Tyneside Derby. And Liverpool snapped Chelsea’s 86-game home unbeaten streak. What will these midweek matches have in store? We can only hope that they can somewhat live up to…
