I was thinking about the Seattle phenomenon and a thought crossed my mind. Would it be good or bad for MLS if Seattle went deep into the playoffs in its inaugural year? What would it say about a league if a brand new team could have such great success in its first ever season? I […]

I was having a good look at Tottenham's proposal for a new stadium overlapping their current plot at White Hart Lane last night and my brain started to tick.

Here is this week's round up of transfer rumors. Of course the big news has been about Klinsmann's replacement. Wenger is probably off the table after Rummenigge's pleasant comments about the Arsenal manager, but the list of manager's linked is fairly absurd: Jol, Ancelotti, Van Gaal, Hiddink, Gerets, Hitzfeld, Veh, Mancini, Schuster, Sven and Scolari.

Some of my fellow Lillywhites at Tottenham have some very rude comments about Arsene Wenger. There is one song that ends in "Wenger is a [explicative] pedophile". I hate it. It lacks class or common decency. But football supporters aren't always the classiest people when it comes to rivalry, as we all know. I've said […]

Yes, the first half of Bayern's match against Barcelona at the Camp Nou was embarrassing for the Bavarians. Sure it could have been worse had Barca not taken their foot off the gas in the second half of that game. And no, we can't know what the outcome would have been back at the Allianz […]
