I’m not having a panic attack. I swear… I think. Maybe I am having one. Well, wait… no I’m probably not having a panic attack. But with just a few days remaining until the Spurs’ delayed official start to the Premier League’s 2011-2012 season, Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy is officially making me lose sleep. I know that […]

delayed reaction
Sometimes you want something to happen so badly for such a long time, that when the moment finally comes where you get what you’ve desired for so long, you often don’t know how to react to the situation. It’s an odd feeling, especially when you’ve probably pictured the moment a hundred times beforehand and just […]
trouble in the city
As we broach the halfway point of the summer signing period, it’s fair to say that the transfer docket has been a busy one already. Big money moves by the traditional powers across Europe have been popping up on the news radar since the days immediately following the close of last season: Bayern Munich finally […]
ten words or less #30
I took a small break last week from the blog as I was having trouble balancing work, soccer, the 4th of July weekend and my 29th birthday along with my writing responsibilities. I really screwed the pooch in the lead up to that, blowing the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make my 29th TWOL post on the […]
just around the corner
So as an avid reader of reddit.com, I often feel like I’m trying to avoid lifting entire discussions in the soccer sub-reddit and turning them into posts in this space. There’s no doubt that I’m guilty of using links from the site for my round-ups and ten words or less posts, but that’s the beauty of that […]
i want to be like you
There’s a saying that goes something along the lines of, “the best form of flattery is immitation.” It’s always seemed to me that the undertone of the phrase implies that someone is angry at having been copied by a lesser person. “How dare they jock my style!” seems to be the general feeling being broadcast by the […]
ten words or less #27
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 […]
wrong side XI: center back (libero)
this is part V in the “wrong side XI” series, where i’ll be selecting my very own starting eleven, assuming of course that i could choose any player from any team in the world. you can read the rules i’ll be following to make my team selection, and what formation i’ll be squeezing them into, […]
ten words or less #25
Wow, we’ve already reached the quarter century mark for the Ten Words or Less series? What a momentous occasion. I thought about doing some sort of theme for this special milestone post — only links to video of players tripping during training, links to pictures of footballers eating with their families, etc. — but it […]
round up #32
enough with all of the controversy. this season is starting wear on me. between spurs dragging me on a rollercoaster season full of sprinklings of pure joy but far too many facepalms, the madrid-barcelona soap opera, mario balotelli being an idiot, and god awful refereeing… i’ve already reached my drama quota for the season. my […]
