If you wanted to see an example of everything that’s wrong with the modern bureaucracy that dominates English football, take today’s ruling on the above “pic of the week”. It depicts an absolute nightmare of a challenge by Wigan’s Callum McManaman on Newcastle’s Massadio Haïdara midway through the first half of their match up on Saturday, […]

pic of the week
Today marks the birth of “Pic of the Week”, yet another recurring series of posts here on WSOTP. Each Monday, I plan to post my favorite picture from the previous week’s football happenings. Sometimes it might be a momentous moment, other times it might be a bit silly. This week’s picture, falls into the latter category. […]
i want: copa’s terraces tee
If you haven’t noticed by now, looking back through my I want series, I clearly have a thing for soccer culture tees. And one of my favorite producers of clever shirts is Dutch brand COPA, who just dropped their new Spring/Summer 2013 Collection. But with a whopping 98 different shirts in the collection, featuring designers such as […]
i want: quarterly soccer magazines
Believe it or not, there’s plenty of quality soccer writing in this country outside the auspicious bounds of WSOTP. In fact, finding the crème de la crème of American soccer scribes might require you to look outside of the digital realm, and back into the ancient art of print media. And luckily enough for us Americans, […]

While surfing on KYCK a few weeks ago, one of the users made a post about how cool it would be to have soccer-tennis as an Olympic sport. And while the odds of that happening are about as good as Andy Carroll leading the Premier League in scoring this season, it did ignite my interest […]
i want: objectivo’s love michael, hate bob tee
I know it’s been around for a while, and it’s not really relevant now that Bradley the Elder is no longer at the helm of the National Team. But seeing how I’m beaming with pride over Bradley the Younger’s career progress over the last twelve months, I don’t think it’s so bad to want the […]
i want: umbro nottingham forest away shirt
Though I was disappointed to see Forest miss out on promotion back to the Premier League this season, I am happy about the outcome for at least one reason. Since I’m not supposed to want wear kits of my beloved Spurs’ (current) rivals, Nottingham Forrest spending another season in the Championship means that it’s a least slightly […]
i want
We human beings, regardless of which corner of the globe from which we originate, are inherently greedy little creatures. Our desire to accumulate wealth, valuables, personal effects, etc. — and the status derived from them — is the engine that drives the world. And I’m not ashamed to admit that I’m no different. I want stuff. […]
