i’ve been a busy boy the past week, so i haven’t had much time to do any writing. so here’s a quick news round up to make up for it… cristiano ronaldo is right. it’s over for the premier league – telegraph an interesting piece by the telegraph’s mike norrish, who makes a case for […]
adios adebayor
so emmanuel adebayor has put pen to paper on a five year contract for manchester city, and i’m a little amazed. not so much that he’s leaving arsenal, because that’s not really surprising at all. i’m shocked with how out of left field this move was, and how quickly it happened. just a few weeks […]
round up #1
in what i think will become a semi-regular posting, i’d like to present the first edition of the “round up.” we’ll quickly take a look around a few short news stories that i found interesting, but don’t have a whole lot to say about… yet. we’ll sell cesc… for £40m – the sun in an […]
san siro shocker
First off, congratulations are in order to you Mr. Onyewu. After a collection of stand out performance at the Confederations Cup, you’re move from Standard Leige to AC Milan still caught me by surprise. While you have performed consistently well for the perennial Belgian power over the last few years now, it’s still a bit […]
a spanish shopping spree
i won’t lie… i’ve been doing my damndest to hold my tongue and keep from gloating so far this summer. i don’t want to be the spoiled kid bragging to his guests at his own birthday party about all of the sweet presents he just got. but it’s so freaking hard. how am i supposed […]
well, how about that
while bob bradley was trying his best to make me look stupid last week (and just barely failing), good old michael owen seems to be taking my advice. all of the major news outlets out of england are reporting this morning that owen is currently at old trafford taking an “extensive” medical, ahead of a […]
Final Thoughts on the Confederations Cup
Well, Bob Bradley certainly did his best to make me look like an ass. For two and a half straight games, he served me my words on a plate. A very cold plate. And until the second half of the Confederations Cup final against Brazil, he did that very well. But thank god for that second […]
It All Makes Sense Now
My fiancée Amie and I were watching the US Soccer team’s Confederations Cup semifinal against Spain the other night, and she had a moment of brilliance. She finally pinned what (not who) Bob Bradley looks like… Many have long suspected monotone Bob is a robot. But he’s not just any robot. Specifically, he is “Sonny” from the […]
Bring Me Another Striker!
What the hell is going on at the Eastlands? Who is making these transfer decisions? Is there an actual game plan for their purchases? I like to think Mark Hughes doesn’t have complete control over Manchester City’s transfers, because I don’t think he’s this stupid. Are the Arab owners pulling an Abramovich, and mandating that Cit-eh […]
Poor Michael Owen
How long and hard the fall from Europe’s elite must be for Michael Owen. Just a few years ago, the former Balon d’Or winner was making his “dream move” to Madrid to become Florentino Perez’s last Galactico. Well, the last of his last set of galactico’s anyway. He was arguably (one of) the most feared […]
