I do so enjoy midweek MLS. More games, more goals. And I've got two doozies for you lot. The first comes courtesy of AND I WAS LIKE EMILIOOOOOOO Renteria. Just proves you never know with this game. Columbus had two shots on target all night and two goals. This was undoubtedly the prettier of the two.

Happy Monday to you. Here are a few things floating around my head as Week 9 of MLS action comes to a close.
The Montreal Impact are showing the signs of life. The Impact have recorded their first road win and for the first time ever, back to back MLS wins for the club. That they did so against Sporting Kansas City is all the more impressive.

Jose Enrique, who moved to Anfield from Newcastle last summer, rates the 27-year-old Slovakian defender ahead of Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany.

UC Davis's Chancellor and its PoliceChief both reacted as if this were an unpleasant routine, until it became anews item.

We've performed some amazing acrobatics during our early drinking days, with about half of all slippery spills involving steps of some kind.

Okay, we're lying. We fall all the time intoxicated or not.
