i know i owe you a full length post, but i’m going to be honest. i’ve just not had the time to put one through that meets my extremely low high expectations this week. so while the drafts in my column queue are fermenting to the point where they’re appropriate for consumption by the masses, […]

the transfer market is always a tricky beast to navigate, particularly in a summer after a world cup where transfer fees bloat due to raised expectations. and while many clubs come into the summer with a clear plan for their transfer dealings, those plans can often get derailed in no time flat for any multitude […]

is it bad that i think a total of four posts in the last two weeks is a “flurry” of activity on the blog? yes, yes it is very bad. downright depressing even. so to help put myself at ease, i need to post again. because five posts is way better than four. and because i […]

well it seems like this has become less a blog about soccer, and more a blog about apologizing for not blogging about soccer. and while i feel that my series of recent prolonged absences on the blog can be easily justified (starting a new job, moving into a new house, increased travel for work, planning […]

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 […]

i could easily write for the next three straight days about what did or didn’t happen during today’s transfer deadline day. seriously. as i sat and watched the transfer tickers update themselves today, i had about twenty potential topics rush into my brain. why didn’t tottenham sell roman pavlyuchenko? oh yeah, because they decided to […]

a busy christmas schedule has my mind spinning, wondering what to write about and what to leave out. i’ve watched a lot of football, and talked about even more… although my family probably would have preferred a different subject matter to dominate my holiday plans. oh well, they should know better by now, right? and, as […]

the holiday season is one of my favorite parts of the year, but not for the reasons you would expect. gifts under the christmas (or minora?) tree are nice and all, and getting to see the friends and family is great, too. but what really get’s me amped for this part of the year is […]
