January: the month where a million writers, bloggers, newspapers and websites get more eyeballs on their works than any other. Thanks to its winter transfer window, and the plethora of the rumors of potential player moves that come with it, January is a writer’s best friend. Pick up the scent of a rumor without a […]

The midpoint of the European season is often one of the most jam-packed, chaotic and turbulent portions of the yearly footballing calendar. Between the January transfer window, scheduling congestion between all of the major competitions — especially in England where there is not a winter break — and under performing clubs starting to realize that there’s hardly […]

On the whole, football is a ridiculously dramatic sport. Fans have been known to riot, fight with one another and hurl missiles from the stands. Players like to feign injury, cry obsessively when things don’t go their way and kiss each other after they score goals. And announcers and pundits like to spin nothingness into headlines, distort […]

It’s time for the young 2012-2013 season’s first international break, and contrary to my normal reactions, I’m actually pretty excited for this one.

Whether you’ve noticed or not, I’ve made a concerted effort this summer not to litter the blog with posts about transfer speculation, in particular as it pertains to Tottenham Hotspur Football Club. Part of my reason for that is to try to avoid boring my non-Spurs-supprorting readers with endless ranting and sobbing about our inactivity […]
