Autumn weather has finally descended upon the Ohio Valley at the tail end of this week, and it’s got me all psyched out. First off, this weekend is Oktoberfest here in Zinzinnati — one of the best reasons to live in this very German city — so I’ll be spending a majority of my weekend partaking […]

Today is the opening day of the Premiership… for Tottenham Hotspur at least. After a riot-induced (How often do we see that as a reason for a postponement these days?) nine day delay to the start of the season meant that I was a little less emotionally invested in the other matches than I normally […]
the many dreams of robbie keane
Growing up on the not-so-mean streets of the Tallaght in South Dublin, a young, bright-eyed Robbie Keane had many dreams. While just dreaming of becoming a professional footballer would be enough for the average aspiring young player, a boy-aged Keane could scarcely suffice with just dreaming for that alone. Ambition, after all, should never be limited. You see, […]

Researching for the blog has been a welcome excuse for me […]

With the near constant stream of super injunctions and confirmed tabloid stories about footballers having affairs and shagging […]

i’m breaking own rules on today’s TWOL… i’m posting something other than a single picture, a short introduction, and a 8 links in less than 80 words. the horrors, right? yup, that’s a video at the bottom. but it’s pretty outstanding, so you’ll have to pardon my lack of consistency. why you don’t hire maradona […]
who’s wearing the pants in this relationship?
“The MLS”, as it is known in Europe, is kind of a big deal these days. The league actually gets TV revenue now, as opposed to the opening years when they had to pay to get their games on the tube. There are clubs that are actually turning profits, a welcomed and hoped for goal […]
round up #33
I admit that I’m really trying to steer clear of transfer rumors stories in my latest Round-Up and TWOL posts, mainly because I’ll need something to write for the rest of the summer. That said, there are some stories below that do mention the possibilities of transfers, so don’t skewer me when you come across it. As […]
