When a team can tell a player like Robinho to just leave, you know they’ve got some cash. I guess that’s what it’s like to be at Manchester City these days. I think back to when they first got bought out and I was actually kind of happy for them. They had money to spend [...]

Arsenal Come to Anfield…..

For the first time in forever, we’ll be kicking off the season in front of our own fans. New Boy Roy’s first EPL match in charge and ahead of it, he’s taking a cautious approach to the coming campaign. I hate to put so much emphasis on an opening day fixture but this could set [...]
You May be Right, I May be Crazy…..

Last match of the season and nothing left to play for. Ownership issues, a manager that might be jumping jumping ship shortly and a swirling cloud of doom and gloom is exactly how a Sunday morning should be spent. If that doesn’t motivate me to exit my Gin induced stupor and jump right out of [...]
Bring Da Ruckus…..

We’re down to the last two matches of this wretched season and I’m about ready to say goodbye and good riddance. It’s hard to find positives after our Europa League exit on a fuckin’ technicality but tomorrow is another match and the chance to end the season with a bang. Galvanized under Carlo Ancelotti, Chelsea [...]
Three to Go

What can you say at this stage that has not already been said half a dozen times? You can only say, “must win” so many times before it kind of loses it’s luster. In reality, all matches are must wins. A loss or draw, regardless of importance, is still damaging psychologically. So in effect, even [...]

Wow! I haven’t written one of these in a while. That’s what happens when your cohort takes off to some godforsaken communist country to indulge in whatever drunken debauchery that is available. If you want a real match preview, I’d goto Nate’s site. If you want something less informative, keep reading. I have trouble thinking [...]
A Premature Preview?

Alright, let’s put this into perspective. We beat Benfica on Thursday to make it through to the Europa League semi-finals. Good job boys. Great. Now, it’s time to focus. Fulham are coming to town tomorrow and a few seasons ago that would have been something to laugh about. I would have not even considered getting [...]

Does anyone actually want to go to St. Andrews tomorrow? I know I don’t. We’re off to face David Caruso Alex McLeish’s side in less than 24 hours and looking to take a unbeaten home record from them that spans all the way back to September 2009. That’s one long ass time for a team [...]
