now that the transfer window has (quietly) closed and the theatrics of the world cup are slowly fading into the background, i feel like we can finally focus on what really matters: the football. but, let’s be honest.. i love the fluff that comes with it. and here’s the best i’ve come across on the […]

ten words or less #7
europe is in full swing now, with the last of the major european leagues kicking off this weekend. my spurs pulled off their second miracle in less than four months by qualifying “spanking young boys” in the second leg of their champions league qualifier. so needless to say, i’m in a pretty upbeat mood. so […]
take THAT, england!
it feels like the apocalypse is upon us, and judgment day must be just around the corner. i’m not exactly what you would consider a man of religion, but i think the bible might just confirm my fears in revelations 6:12… when he opened the sixth seal, i looked, and behold, there was a great […]
the missing
it’s the game’s biggest stage, and that stage features the world’s biggest stars. well, most of them anyway. every four year’s, hundreds of millions of adoring fans to watch the brightest stars of football shine during the world cup. unfortunately, some of those star names don’t get the final invite to the the big ball […]
the european playoff proposition
I love the promotional playoffs in English Championship. They add an additional layer of drama to an already drama-filled promotional race at the end of each season. Often times, the playoffs expose little known teams to the big-time spotlight, giving those sides a rare shot of a match at the fabled Wembley. The play playoffs […]
all but the nail in the coffin
do you ever get the feeling in the pit of your stomach where you know that something awful is just around the corner? sometimes it can feel like you’re being slowly dragged towards the edge of a cliff because you have an anvil tied to your foot. no matter how much you claw at the […]
round up #15
for as much as i hate the highly packed winter schedule that the premier league throws at the clubs (it’s like 15° outside and the league feels it’s necessary to make each club play three times in two weeks. why put so much stress on the players?), i go a little stir crazy in between game […]
round up #14
turmoil in the world of football (postponements like i’ve never seen in england, the togo bus shooting, liverpool’s bumbling boardroom idiots, etc.) has left me debating what i should write my next long article about. it’s like i can’t get my head wrapped around something before another major story breaks. oh well, it could be worse. […]
the decade that was – part 1
it’s that time of year where everyone starts reflecting back on the year that was, and 2009 has certainly been a fun one as far as the football world is concerned. but we get the added benefit this year in that it’s the end of a decade, one where we’ve had some incredible stories and […]
treading in dangerous waters
This past weekend was just about too much for me to handle. I was on footballing cloud nine to be honest. There were a host of mouthwatering match-ups that kept my TV working overtime: the Mereyside Derby, Aston Vlla/Tottenham, a Big Four North London Derby and, of course, el Clásico. All were entertaining matches, no […]
