I had every intention of posting this last night but had other things come up. Anyways,
yesterday MLS commissioner Don Garber gave his media call and during the Q&A he threw out a big
nugget on the New York expansion situation.
Garber stated that the league has taken the lead on getting a stadium plan together for a
potential expansion team in the Big Apple, a first done so by the league.
Liverpool: Did buying British cost Comolli his job? is a post from: Just Football
Since taking over at Liverpool Kenny Dalglish has spent almost £100 million on
buying the 'best' of British players within the Premier League in a bid to
instigate an overhaul of Liverpool and return them to their former glory.
Liverpool is preparing a £24 million bid for Aston Villa striker Darren Bent as they seek to put
an end to their low-scoring ways.
The Reds have found the net just 24 times in their 19 Premier League matches this season. Leaders
Manchester City has scored more in nine away fixtures.
Bent as the ideal solution to the problem and is set to test Villa's resolve with a bid.
Liverpool legend Tommy Smith has urged Kenny Dalglish to add a 'proven' striker to his ranks this
month in order maintain their challenge for a top four finish.
Despite spending in excess of £50 million on the dual striker pairing of Luis Suarez and Andy
Carroll in January last year, Liverpool has toiled for goals all season.
Allen Iverson was known for scoring a lot of points on the basketball court and for wearing a
lot of bling during his time away from the game. Today, he no longer plays basketball
professionally and his bling has him in trouble.
A judge in Georgia has decided to allow a jeweler to take money straight out of Iverson's bank
account at Wells Fargo.
Forgive me for any emotion, but I love Nottingham Forest. And Nigel Doughty saved my club. After
buying the club for £11 million in 1999 after the club had entered administration, Doughty
ploughed £100 million of his own money into the club, allowing Forest to mount a series of playoff
campaigns in an effort to [.
Sad weekend for British football as Nottingham Forest Owner Nigel Doughty was found dead in his
home yesterday. He was 54. According to a statement released by the club, Doughty was found dead in

"It is with enormous sadness that Nottingham Forest announce the death of the club's owner
Nigel Doughty, Mr Doughty, who was 54, was found dead earlier today in his gym at his home in
Skillington, Lincolnshire.

I'm not particularly glad that Manchester City won this one, but I'm deliriously cock-a-hoop
that Porto lost and for one, sole reason: Hulk. Jesus wept, what an overrated pile of festering
guano that man is. Shite touch after shite touch followed by pleading tumble after pleading
tumble.
Looks good in blue? Nah....
The way it's going, you would think that we're now in June and the European Championship is upon
us. Why? Have you not seen all the Arsenal related news having to do with transfers and how much
money Arsene Wenger will be allowed to spend? Last time I checked, we're supposed to take every
match as a cup final.
Last post before the Major Soccer Season kicks off this weekend, s Commissioner Garber held
his regular pre-First Kick media conference call on Thursday. He reiterated the great attendance
success of 2011, noting 87 sellouts league wide, 5.4 million in total attendance and an average of
almost 40k in Seattle.
Yesterday's toothless defeat to Sunderland was the worst display Liverpool have put in in a long
time. And to think we had over £100 million of 'talent' on the field during the game. That defeat
is our third in a row and the first time that has happened since October 2003 under Gerard
Houllier.
Over the years, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has done his fair share of complaining over
international fixtures. This is mainly because many players are injured while playing for their
countries and return to their clubs on crutches. You can't really blame him, but he also says young
players need to gain experience and what better way to do so than playing in major football
tournaments.
Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich is so keen on landing Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola as the Blues
manager next season that he is willing to literally buy him out of his Barcelona job.
The Russian billionaire is said to have approached Guardiola's representatives with an offer
they simply cannot refuse.
With Liverpool owner's John Henry and Tom Werner due in England later this week for the FA Cup
semi-final between Liverpool and Everton on Saturday, it is believed that there will be something
of a show-down between the owners and Manager Kenny Dalglish.
An end-of-season report is required of the Anfield boss by FSG, who must be very concerned at
Liverpool's dismal Premiership performances this Season.
All eyes were on Yu Darvish as he pitched for the first time for the Texas Rangers. The rookie
from Japan took on the Seattle Mariners. The results? They weren't good. Darvish already has
baseball fans wondering if the expensive import is going to be a bust.
In the first inning, Darvish gave up four runs.
STARTERS
Barcelona has announced that head coach Pep Guardiola will leave the team at the end of the season
and his assistant Tito Vilanova will take over the team.
-This new guy is the one who Jose Mourniho intentionally jabbed in the eye during a post Super Cup
skirmish.
5 Managers Who Would Ruin Your Football Club - originally posted on Soccerlens.com
One only has to look at the impact of Martin O'Neill at Sunderland to realise the ability of a
manager to change a club's fortunes.
That said, unfortunately not all coaches have the same tactical nous as the Northern Irishman,
and quite a considerable number are likely to effect your team's chances in an altogether different
way.
Kenny Dalglish has revealed Liverpool have the funds to delve into the transfer market once more
this summer.
Liverpool have spent big since Dalglish took over the club last January, and splashed over £100
million on the likes of Andy Carroll and Jordan Henderson in 2011.
However despite that heavy investment the Reds have failed to make an impact on the Premier League
table and currently occupy eighth spot, although they have secured a place in the FA Cup final to
go along with their Carling Cup success in February.
Kenny Dalglish will stay on as Liverpool manager next season – but the Scot will have his
transfer budget cut drastically, according to The Mirror.
Liverpool have spent over £100 million in the last 18 months, bringing in the likes of Andy
Carroll, Jordan Henderson and Luis Suarez.
Dalglish has achieved mixed results from his dealings in the transfer market, with Suarez proving
an instant hit while the likes of Carroll and Henderson have struggled to turn around the Reds
inconsistent form.
