the regular four year reports that the business world suffered a drastic decrease in productivity due to the world cup are starting to spill out, and those monitoring the economy are probably breathing a sigh of relief now that the tournament is over. fret not though my dear readers, as i’m still finding plenty of […]

round up #18
i’ve been slammed lately, and i’m sorry about my lack of posting. there’s so much going on my head is spinning: i start a new real world job next week, i’ve been doing some wedding planning to earn brownie points with my future wife, and i’ve finally replaced my non-functioning old phone with a new […]
the word of the day
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 […]
round-up #9
judging from my lack of posts as of late, i wouldn’t blame you if you thought i had been kidnapped by mexican drug lords or that i was eaten alive by a rogue bear. but as you can see from my recent postings that neither has been the case, though i am sorry that i’ve […]
round up #5
time for another quick glance around the world’s football landscape. reina plays down liverpool’s title chances – soccernet.com i honestly would love to see liverpool finally end their 20 year wait for their 19th english top flight championship, for two reasons: 1) it would put an end to this mundane run of manchester united and […]
making (dangerous) examples
well, well, well… it looks like fifa and uefa finally grew a pair. the world governing body has been threatening for years that they would be clamping down on various activities in the game, but never really doled out any tough love for those that infringed upon these prohibited practices. first it was hooliganism, next […]
goodbye robben, hello ribery?
after spending the type of money this summer that even bill gates would find exuberant, real madrid were bound to offload some high profile names to help “balance” the books. it’s long been expected that los merengues would start the firesale with their small army of expensive dutch players, but who among them would leave […]
this changes EVERYTHING
i have to start off this post by saying sorry to my buddy, milky. you see milky is the most die hard liverpool supporter i know. while there is no doubt that milky likes the ladies, i woudn’t take the bet that he would not have unholy relations with gerrard, torres or carragher if the […]
the summer at the lane
ok, i’ll admit it. i haven’t said much about tottenham yet. and i feel a little bad, because spurs are one of my two favorite teams. but i had a good reason: not much happened at the club for most of the summer. normally a loud participant in the summer transfer fodder, tottenham would have […]
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.
