Odd that Gameweek 33 has fallen on Easter weekend (if you don't get the direct correlation, ask someone who celebrates Easter) even more odd that a pesky little Argentinian (who may, or may not be mentioned later) is leading his current club emphatically as his former club and cross town rivals reaaaaaally could have used his […]

Watching the Manchester United against Chelsea match on television this past Saturday, it was clear to see that there were more green and gold colors in the stands at Old Trafford than the traditional red, white and black of the Red Devils. It made me wonder what's more important for Manchester United supporters — their […]

It was an abbreviated schedule in Major League Soccer, but with big wins by Houston and New York, there were still storylines to cover on edition of the Major League Soccer Talk weekend review podcast. On this edition, I am joined by Brian Zygo to talk about the Houston Dynamo and the way the Western […]

The titans of Spanish football will face off next weekend at the Estadio Santiago Bernabéu in the traditional El Classico which will carry an even greater importance this time because it could decide the league title's destination. The two clubs are tied on top of la Liga with the same number of points but Los Galacticos are one […]

You've see the film The Damned United, or read the book by David Peace that inspired it. The question that remains is, to what extent has the outspoken, charismatic and often times hilarious manager left a lasting impression on you? For me, Clough embodies what I think of when I imagine English football in the […]

Birmingham City has made the smart move to allow its supporters to choose which football kit the club should wear for the 2010-11 season. Too many times, football clubs make the decision without much or any input from supporters and what ends up being released is an abomination. The decision to allow Birmingham City supporters […]

During Saturday's Manchester United against Chelsea match at Old Trafford, you may have heard the sarcastic chants from Chelsea supporters of "USA, USA, USA." The chants were directed at the Manchester United supporters. They were part tongue-in-cheek humor as well as a little bit of banter to wind up the Man United supporters and mock […]

A grand total of four wins out of the last forty-five matches under both Bruce Arena & Juan Carlos Osorio. At the same time the club wanted to avenge their poor performance the last time they visited Seattle […]

The Bianconeri lost again and to be quite honest it was not a surprise because the Juve players have completely lost their composure since the 3-3 draw with Siena. The match against Siena was the turning point as Juventus were somewhat managing to grind resultsfollowing Alberto Zaccheroni's appointment as coach for the remainder of the season. The Bianconeri have lost […]

Alright, I know the season isn’t over yet but it is never too early to think about next season. And, regardless of how Arsenal finish this season, all eyes will again be on Arsene Wenger over the summer transfer period. Indeed, it seems that every transfer window over the past few years, Wenger has been […]

With so much of the focus in the build up to this Premier League weekend being on Manchester United against Chelsea, it was unfortunate that many of the other big clashes didn't get as much attention. Especially at this time of the season where every point means so much. I managed to watch 3.5 games […]

It's now April, 2010 – the World Cup and business end of the Premier League season both approach like a swarm of angry bees looking to sting before they're stung. Injuries are piling up in England to key members of the national team as well as key components of the three headed monster that is […]
