round up #17
damn these winter olympics. they’re so freaking distracting. despite the fact that there are more games in going on within a week either direction of today than in recent memory (premier league games were midweek last week, FA cup games and la liga games this weekend, champions league coming up this week), the festivities in […]
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 […]

touché barça
I’ve been patiently awaiting Barcelona’s counter to Real Madrid’s spending spree, wondering how the current best-team-in-the-world would “improve” themselves. I really wasn’t sure how they were going to do it, or if it could even really be done. The Catalunyan’s had, arguably, one of the best ever season’s in European club football history in 2008-2009.

round up #1
in what i think will become a semi-regular posting, i’d like to present the first edition of the “round up.” we’ll quickly take a look around a few short news stories that i found interesting, but don’t have a whole lot to say about… yet. we’ll sell cesc… for £40m – the sun in an […]
