what is going on over there?! it’s been completely lunacy in europe the last week, and i’m having trouble processing everything. first hughton was stupidly (though predictably) sacked by the fat idiot running newcastle. then carloz tevez puts in a transfer request because he’s “homesick,” only to have it promptly rejected. and then big sam […]

ten words or less #12
it’s been ten days of mixed emotions here at wrong side of the pond. while i’m obviously elated at spurs incredible displays during this time, the roller coaster ride prior to both dramatic final whistles makes me wonder how i didn’t suffer a heart attack. (tangent alert: i feel like the lillywhites are a shiny […]
five things i hate about mark clattenburg
Before I get into this, I just want to say that I know Tottenham were probably going to lose the game against Manchester United. Regardless of who you are, if you’re down a goal, away at Old Trafford, and in the 83rd minute, you’re probably not going to win. The incident I’m about to talk […]
ten words or less #10
i’ve been lazy. really lazy. here’s the ten words or less from last week. it’s ridiculous how long it took me to post this. i apologize. i’m not the only one with a gareth bale crush. – sportsillustrated.com please, tell me WTF is going on here. – thespoiler.co.uk a valid complaint, but aren’t […]
round up #24
what a weekend. real madrid finally got over their scoring “drought” by slaughtering deportivo. tottenham staged another comeback win on the back of a van der vaart brace (i really, really hope this isn’t becoming a trend… it’s going to catch up with them eventually if so). and my sunday league team moved to the […]
i love you, man
it’s often extremely difficult as a man to express one’s emotions. we’re all supposed to be stoic and told to ignore our feelings. instead we should be off doing manly things like building bridges with our bare hands, and crushing skulls on our hairy chests whenever someone insults our favored clubs. but let’s be honest: […]

sorry for the long wait for a new post everyone, i’ve been a busy boy the last week. whatever you do, please don’t construe that to mean that i’ve been off pulling a rooney (or crouch, or cole, or terry or…). my wife wouldn’t find that funny. so in lieu of searching out each reader […]
round up #23
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 […]
six reasons for redknapp’s rage
my, oh my… we’re just five games into the season and we’re already feeling the pressure in north london. tottenham hotspur finally secured their long-desired champions league dream last week, squeaking by swiss “giants” young boys with an emphatic second league win. but the quest for european glory is already taking a toll on the […]
the next big step
for those of us who grew up in the 80’s and 90’s, the idea of american soccer players in europe pretty much only came true when they visited the old continent for vacations. fantasies of american’s playing in europe were almost exactly that… fantasies. sure their were pioneers who crossed the pond for short stints.
