Good news everyone. In the build-up to the World Cup, we’ve decided to move the EPL Talk Network forums from Ning to www.epltalk.grou.ps.

Don’t worry if you were already a member of our previous network, you have already been migrated to our new destination, avatars and all! Due to changes in the Ning network that previously hosted our network, the EPL Talk Network Forums will now be taking advantage of all the great features Grou.ps offers. With options such as polls and wiki’s, the Intelligent Soccer Forum will allow even more discussion and collaboration to be expressed.

If you haven’t yet joined the discussion, head to the new EPL Talk Network Forums and voice your opinion on whatever is on your football mind. It’s the perfect place to raise topics, interact with fellow readers and more. Enjoy!

It’s been a good week for EPL Talk. We broke the 500 barrier in terms of number of RSS subscribers (see screenshot above). We were ranked the number one soccer blog for several days this week by Ballhype. And we were interviewed on the homepage of the Euro 2008 Statistics website as well as touted as one of the best soccer websites by 101 Great Goals and mentioned as a PS by The Times newspaper of London.

Thanks to everyone for your continued support and loyalty. We’ve got plenty of great articles planned for the rest of this summer as well as a few surprises.

In the meantime if you have any ideas, questions or feedback, please feel free to email me at thegaffer[at]epltalk[dot]com.
