We all have our vices, and that includes those soccer websites or blogs that we visit frequently — sometimes several times a day.

What, for you, are the soccer websites and/or blogs that you can’t live without? The type of sites where you wouldn’t know what to do if they no longer existed.

Share your list below and I’ll share mine when you’re done. Thanks in advance for your time.

When you type the words “soccer blogs” into Google, the search engine returns a listing of 2.9 million pages indexed. Rather than wade through the massive amount of blogs, here are the top 5 blogs based on the number of subscribers to their Feedburner RSS feeds:

ArseBlog, 2,991 subscribers
Soccerlens, 1,565
EPL Talk, 466
Soccer Shout, 312
Throughball, 171

Sadly, Throughball.com is on hiatus. Whether Josh, the blogger, will return looks unlikely.The top 5 list was compiled by researching over 100 of the top soccer blogs. Only blogs that publicly feature on their web site the number of Feedburner RSS feeds they have were included.

It’s hardly surprising that Manchester United is the most successful club in Premier League history. What is quite surprising, though, is where a lot of the other clubs are positioned in the all-time Premier League table.

Where does your favorite team rank from the beginning of the Premier League in 1992-93 until now? Click the league table below, which has been painstakingly created by Chris Oakley from the excellent Some People Are On The Pitch blog. Read his accompanying article, too.

To me, it’s fascinating to see how clubs that rank so well in the all-time Premier League table have fallen so far, so quickly. Clubs such as Leicester City, Leeds United, Coventry, Ipswich, Barnsley, Swindon, Oldham and Norwich.
