The Prememento Podcast

Our epic journey begins as the Prememento Podcast looks to hit upon every country that's been represented in the Premier League. In this episode there's a plethora of goalkeepers from across the pond to discuss, as well as some contentious characters from South America.  We'll have all the stats you want to know and a whole host more you never even knew you needed! Countries Covered: USA, Uruguay,...

From the outside looking in, it's easy to think that it doesn't matter as much to some of the people involved in football. Though it may be their livelihood, the connection between occupation and obsession are at the opposite ends of the scale. That doesn't apply to everyone however. Those that really take the game of football to heart and truly give themselves over to it, leaving no stone unturne...

Having looked at every club, every season and last time around the individual players themselves and how they related to the wider issues and narratives around the Premier League; this time we're going one step further and look at the personalities and histories of those on the touchline. No one figure has more of a role in the fate of a football club than the manager and the Premier League has se...

Football is not everything, but it does bring us together. The time has come for the game itself to stop, for now at least. In light of the crisis that surrounds the world today, it all seems very insignificant. Fitting then – in that regard – that we too take out leave for now, with very possibly the most dramatic moment in Premier League history. Ninety three minutes and twenty seconds. What tra...

Excess is such a part of the Premier League, the two as a concept are all but fused together. Flamboyance on and off the pitch, along with an acceptance of narcissism that laughs in the face of loyalty. Yet there are those that defy the stereotype.

There is one thing however that does stand the test of time. That which endures – thrives even – in the face of that success. Grudges that come out of switch...

Given the fickle and cut throat nature of football in the Premier League era, there's something to be said for the players that simply kept on playing. Years upon years of service, racking up the points and the minutes as everything else changed around them. In that time, the rise and image of the foreign mercenary became ever more prevalent. Someone who loyalty doesn't mean anything and they don'...

Ambition comes with a price. Experience comes with a warning. As players move from tier to tier among the Premier League hierarchy, it's never quite the same as trying to get in among it in the first place. Youthful exuberance and trying to claim a place in the company of the elite in English football is a very different prospect to simply trying to maintain. When it comes to moving on, sometimes...

Single moments themselves do not spark revolutions. Yet every one is triggered by an isolated incident. For the Premier League to become the go to destination for the best football talent the world over, there had to be a tipping point. Someone who who would come in and elevate the game, who would – as a manager – dare to challenge the very face of English football. His Newcastle career is still t...
