If you had asked people before the English Premier League season which teams would still be unbeaten at the start of November, not many would have said Newcastle, but there the Magpies are, sitting near the top of the table with a zero in the loss column.
Tim Howard and Everton will try to hand Alan Pardew's squad that first loss in the opening match of today's busy schedule of action. The other unbeaten team in England, Manchester City, travels to Queens Park Rangers, where they will look to beat the same QPR side that defeated Chelsea at home just two weeks ago. In Manchester, Sir Alex Ferguson marks the 25th anniversary of his time as manager of Manchester United, who face Sunderland.
On the Americans Abroad front, Michael Orozco will be in action as San Luis takes on Toluca, while Sonny Guadarrama will look to build on his successful appearance last week when Atlante faces Monterrey.

Donovan is staying, eurogeek!
Not so much in creating this team though. They picked up Demba Ba on a free transfer, Cabaye for 6-8 mil lbs, Santon for like 8-10 mil, and most of the rest have been with the club for a while. You can’t really compare the quality of the 2011-2012 NUFC vs 2011-2012 Everton FC by looking back at expenditures over the past 5 years, because neither spent a ton to assemble their current rosters. In fact NUFC sold almost all of their expensive impact players this past summer.
Fabian Hurzeler received a call to a German U19 camp, that’s why he wasn’t on the u23-u20 roster..
Bedoya got on the field as a sub today for Rangers. He looked active & attacking in his short time out there. Hope for more now that Naismith is gone.
I don’t know if I’d agree that their squad’s any good. IMO, they only have two players who are reliably above average at their positions: Baines and Howard. If Fellani ever gets his game together, that would be 3. They’re thin-to-nonexistent everywhere else, with a number of players who have clearly regressed over the last couple of years (Heitinga).
Moyes is listening to you: http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11671/7292636/Moyes-wants-Donovan-back
Whenever you ask that question, the answer is always the pun.
I like mata.
For the bad pun, or because Mata ended up being the MOTM?
Torres! Hooray! It takes talent to miss like that.
I dunno — that’s where I keep my socks and underwear. Is that high praise?
+1 lol
I would say its 60%-40% he stays.
Give him a few weeks and another MLS Championship. He will be back at Everton and likely playing better soccer than he has since the World Cup. LD needs the added pressure to get that fire burning again and I’m sure he’s more than welcome back in blue….with the right price-tag.
either that or I need a new pair of glasses.
does anyone believe Clint will stay at Fulham or move to a CL team next year?
You owe all of us an apology.
What’s the Mata with Chelsea?
He;s some kind of magician, then.
It’s definitely not Friedel.
Alfrdo, that is right. soccernet game cast has it him scoring in the 18th but other fans don’t think he was in the game.
Alfredo Morales? I believe he wasnt even on the bench for Hertha.
i did exactly the same haha. was searching for a stream until i saw it on Deportes. Come on you Gunners!
can someone confirm if the new kid Adrian Morales scored this morning, there seems to be some conflict who scored.
LS hunter tv. Then I found out it was on Fox Deportes, so I got it on TV en espanol!
anyone have a good stream of the arsenal match?
seriously? it’s very under-rated in my opinion. I love it. Very geeky humor
Seamus Coleman had a terrible game. He presented next to no danger. Time to get a different winger, perhaps one that is known and liked by the Goodison faithful. Perhaps one that is plying his trade on another continent.
All that while relegated and in financial trouble
No.
Ryan Taylor’s goal was fantastic. Newcastle weren’t great but you can’t ask for anything more than 3 points. 2nd in the league, unbelievable.
That said, Newcastle fans must be a bit conflicted. If Sunderland get something from Man United they will go into international break 2nd. I suppose I can root for a draw.
Newcastle 93 million pounds over last 5 years
Everton 62 million pounds over last 5 years
Newcastle are big spenders, only 6 teams have spent more while Everton is near the bottom in spending. In fact, the Magpies have spent more that Arsenal over the last 5 years.
I’d say we need to start importing more Dutch and Scandinavian assistant coaches over the next decade to teach MLS-based American players some new things.
I’d rate Parks & Rec and The League higher. But I do like Community.
ummm, what? Nobody’s purse is as small as everton’s right now. Everton’s purse, along with all it’s contents, has actually been seized by the bank.
Newcastle deserve credit for spending wisely, but they do have funds to work with.
newcastle’s got nice kits…
How much can Newcastle spend in comparison to Everton?? That’s why I hate teams like everton… don’t blame the system for you’re owner’s incompetence in the transfer market and unwillingness to spend wisely. It’s one thing to argue that you can’t win the league if you can’t spend, but I believe we see a newcastle team doing quite well and they can’t have that much of a bigger purse than everton seeing that they’re still coming back from the fiasco that was the past 3 years for them.
Oh my God, what a great strike from Ryan Taylor. Top drawer for sure.
Ouch. Timmy could do nothing on that one. Lazy marking by Everton.
good time to pickup some American players in MLS. Cheap
Everton should really be doing better this season they have a strong squad despite having no money
I think Timmy’s camo top just assisted in Heitinga’s own goal.
I’d say more Honey Mustard.
Those Everton kits are bananas.
Come on Newcastle! Show everyone that it isn’t a fluke that we’re in the top 4!
Clint Dempsey to leave Fulham next summer for a CL team. Trust me
No
WE need to start exporting our players to Holland and Scandinavia to learn the trade of football
Haha demba ba wearin an orlando magic hat. I like that.
Is Brad Friedel the greatest GK in the history of the PL or is it Peter Schmeichel or Edwin van Der Sar?
O/T but isn’t Community the funniest show on tv?
