Though I’m admittedly still on a bit of an adrenaline high just over two hours after the United States’ “historic” win in the Azteca — I won’t elaborate further on it, as tonight’s win has spawned another full-length post where I’ll delve into the topic in greater detail. But it still feels good to beat […]

ten words or less #57
As you might have been able to tell, things have been hectic around WSOTP Central of late. Between two trips to New York for real world work, a family vacation in Charleston, South Carolina, and out-of-town weddings, it’s at least felt like a struggle to find the time for the blog. Which is odd, because I’ve […]
nowhere to look but forward
It’s an odd situation, writing about Harry Redknapp leaving his post as manager of Tottenham Hotspur Football Club. The manner in which he’s leaving the club, by sacking, was not at all the way we expected it all to go down. Really though, we Spurs supporters have been preparing ourselves for this moment ever since […]

A long week full of friendlies culminates this weekend, and for the most part, there have been some scintillating performances not normally found in matches of such insignificance. But with the Euros and World Cup qualification tournaments just around the corner, perhaps it shouldn’t be so surprising to see so many players giving their all to ensure […]
straitjacket f.c.
No matter where you travel around the globe, there is one thing that is virtual certainty to be found among the local population: crazy people. That’s right, crazy people. They are everywhere. Statistics indicate that as many as 1 in 3 people currently have a mental disorder. So if you think of two of your […]
gutted
Chelsea’s victory in Saturday’s UEFA Champions League final having bumped Tottenham out the next edition of the Champions League, I’m completely gutted. Helpless despair is the best way to describe the feeling, as if the thousand yard stare glued to my face since hadn’t given that away already. This season has certainly been a one […]
tarnished silver
To put it simply, yesterday was amazing. The 2011/2012 Premier League finale was one for the ages, overflowing with drama and unpredictable to its penultimate finish. If there was ever a perfect example to illustrate what makes soccer so transfixing as a sport, this was it. Survival Sunday — as it’s come to be dubbed — […]

worst case scenario
This piece is a short excerpt from my second featured post on the Tottenham Hotspur podcast/blog website http://www.TheFightingCock.co.uk. To read it in it’s entirety, please click here or click the link at the end of the post. Labeling Spurs’ close to the season as a disaster — which has involved pissing away a sizable third-place […]
handle with care
Everyone knows that players aren’t invincible. Nearly every match you watch will feature at least one player limping/strechered off with some sort of injury, and a quick glance at the weekly physio report from around the Premier League will confirm as much. Some are severe, requiring lengthy rehabilitation spells, while others are simple knocks that only keep them out […]
