It’s happy times at wrong side of the pond these days. Spurs are still sitting in a lofty position in the table at fairly advanced stage of the season, even despite dropping points on a cold wet night in Stoke. Speaking of cold nights, I’m also looking forward to the winter weather that’s finally descending upon […]

I literally had to flip a coin to decide which picture would end up as the headlining selection for this week’s post. It was a dead heat between the eventual winner entitled José Rides Forward and Beckham Budweiser Ballin’. Each is awesome in their own right for various reasons. But I’m glad Mourinho won out though: just […]

I spent a majority of last week in the Nation’s Capital for my real world job’s annual company meeting, and to be honest, I’m completely worn out from it still. While capping off the event by partying into the wee hours of the night at the gorgeous Italian Embassy was a blast, I have to […]

It may just be me, but I feel like my recent posts have taken a rather pessimistic view of the beautiful game. A quick look at my front page shows a total of seven non-round-up posts, and four of them are nothing but me bitching about some current aspect of the game. I must think […]

Between the Euro qualifiers, friendlies, the League matches and the Champions/Europa League qualifiers, I have to admit that I’m having a hard time following this season.

International break weekends in the US are a departure from the footie fan’s normal routine of getting up at the crack of dawn to watch matches until the early afternoon. Unless you’re lucky enough to be able to afford/have access to GolTV, the selection of international fixtures available can best be described as “shite”. In […]

Normally, this opening paragraph is an attempt by me to say something interesting, but I know that it likely never is. Yet I still feel the need to write in this space. It just looks better, especially when trying to place an attention grabbing picture at the top of an article. Everybody loves pictures. It’s […]

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 […]

I feel a bit like a bad boyfriend right now, one who’s been accused of ignoring my long-term girlfriend for a while, since I haven’t posted in a week. And even though it appears that I’ve not been working on it — ignoring the fact this TWOL post has been sitting around for at least […]

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 […]
