When I first started following Bath City I really struggled to figure out which player was which.
This was not because I have some sort of problem recognising faces, but because I was confused by
the numbering system on the player's shirts. To me there seemed to be no rhyme or reason to it. One
player would wear number 10 in one match and be in a 11 the next.

For years New York Yankee's owner George Steinbrenner bragged about how his squad was actually

Judgment day approaches for Diego Maradona
Argentina's troubled coach and soccer great will put his legacy on the line at the World
Cup.
By Ken Bensinger
To the soccer faithful, Argentina should be a lock to win the 2010 World Cup. After all, it has

Sports and bold proclamations go hand and hand. Babe Ruth's called shot, Joe Namath's guarantee,
and now Blanc's promise? The third one might not be as classic as the first two, but you have to
admit that new French coach Laurent Blanc is doing things in an extremely bold and inventive way

Heather Mitts - Not on my listI don't like Greatest of All Time lists. How can today's so-called
baseball experts, for example, say Babe Ruth was the greatest player/hitter of all time when none
of them are old enough to have seen him play in person? Or even on television? There's no validity
in those lists, especially when they're based just on stats.
Rio Ferdinand knows all about the life of a professional footballer. After all the guy has been
a top tier star for over a decade now and that longevity comes with an awful lot of knowledge. And
one piece of advice the Manchester United footballer has for the young, aspiring footballers of
tomorrow out there is to lay off the boozing on a regular basis.
Henry and Carragher and the FA cup are a few of the Liverpool topics floating around the
intertubes today, and since it's Monday and I'm sure we're all in an awesome mood after yesterday's
disappointing result, let's skip the frivolities and get right to it...
* It's a long article, and it covers ground that most Liverpool supporters will already
have a fair handle on, but a new Newsweek piece on NESV and John Henry taking over the club is a
worthwhile, even handed, and well researched look at the club from a bit of an outsider's
perspective.
