As I type this journal entry in the smallest of one room efficiencies in Highbury, London, the time in the upper right corner reads 7:00 AM exactly. Local time just hit noon which places my brain somewhere in the realm of insane, sleep-deprived lunatic, or, lazy traveler, as I'm only just sitting up from bed […]

In the past we've asked you what was your favorite goal, but this time we want to know what one goal gave you the most pleasure. It doesn't necessarily have to be the prettiest of goals, but the sheer sensation of the goal being scored gave you an inordinate amount of pleasure. For me, as […]

The official trailer for Football Manager 2011 has been released. The latest edition of the immensely popular football management strategy game is scheduled for release in the UK on November 5. And is expected to be released in the United States before Christmas. The trailer for Football Manager will debut on television on October 17, […]

Reflecting on Chelsea v Arsenal's match this past Sunday at Stamford Bridge, I was immediately reminded of one of the most amazing goals I have ever seen. The date was December 10, 2006. Chelsea desperately need points as they hosted Arsenal in order to keep pace with a runaway Manchester United at the top of […]

EA Sports released a video today featuring the story of "You'll Never Walk Alone," the song by Gerry Marsden and the Pacemakers which became Liverpool's anthem. The video shows Marsden walking viewers through Anfield and what the song means to him and Liverpool supporters around the world. The video is part of the "We Are […]

The Bayern Munich squad had their Oktoberfest priviliges withheld after poor Bundesliga form leaves them an entire 13 points away from the league summit. Uli Hoeness, the club's president, and Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, the current chairman of Bayern Munich, both had some choice words for the Bundesliga champions on their recent dip in form. Hoeness was […]

Both West Ham United and Tottenham Hotspur have submitted bids to occupy the Olympic Stadium in Stratford, England once the 2012 Summer Olympic Games are over. West Ham's bid is in conjunction with Newham Council, while Tottenham's bid is conjunction with AEG. So far, West Ham's bid may be more palatable because theirs includes keeping […]

Several key Premier League matches scheduled for later this year were moved to accomodate the interests of Sky Sports and ESPN in the United Kingdom. The changes have big implications for soccer fans around the world and especially in the United States where many of you, the readers, reside. Based on the timeslots that Fox […]

As Liverpool have gone 20 years without winning the top division, especially to a younger generation, the enormity of LFC has probably never seemed quite powerful as it does to those of us who grew up with the club as an imperious, all-conquering club who simply won everything. It is testament to the legacy of […]

One of the highlights of the season for a lot of English football supporters is seeing the goals of the season. It's often a difficult decision to limit it to the best goal each month during the season. And even more so when only one goal is chosen as the winner of the best goal […]

Trevor Brooking has today claimed that Steve McClaren could one day return as the manger of the England side. With Fabio Capello already stating that he will leave his position with the FA after the 2012 European Championships, and the FA insisting that an Englishmen will replace him, could ‘The Wally with the Brolly’ really […]

Stuttgart are currently bottom of the league with a meagre three points from their first seven Bundesliga matches. Manager Christian Gross is definitely under fire, and I'm a bit shocked that he hasn't already been sacked. Stuttgart finished in sixth place in the Bundesliga last season, and the year before that they finished in third […]

So John W Henry, current owner of the Boston Red Sox, is about to take over Liverpool. Being a Florida Marlins fan, and a baseball fan in general, I’m very well aware of Mr. Henry’s history as a baseball owner, so here's my opinion about what I think he will bring to the club, both […]

Life is all about compromise. It's rare that you get everything you want, exactly the way you want it. The ability to accept that fact lends itself to happier living. “FIFA 11” is a good example. Last year's version raised the bar in terms of presentation, graphics and game play – making it difficult for […]

Niccolo brings up an interesting debate in his weekend review post that I wanted to put to a vote. This weekend we saw two incredible goals in Serie A, and I will throw it out to the readership to vote on which one was the best. Contender #1 – Ilicic's Opening Goal Against Fiorentina Josip […]
