The term "Ultras" says it all: hardcore supporters at the edge, well above the norm of regular fan.
San Jose's Ultras are a band of brothers and sisters, and their roll call includes lawyers,
software engineers, union organizers, retail workers -- folks from all walks of life.
To paraphrase a quote from the end of "Band of Brothers" - 'It's been a long season; it's been a
tough season'.
Maybe I'll have deeper thoughts on this as the next couple of weeks go by, but, for now, here's a
list of the best and worst moments of the last few months. Let's get the horrible stuff out of the
way first.
MLS put the video above on its website to highlight the travel and passion that visiting fans are
willing to do in order to see their hometown team play as the rivals.
In a harsh setting, in which everybody else is rooting on the other team, it can be a lonely
experience.
A night to remember. A moment to savor. A season to endure. More, after the jump:
Defying Expectations
Twenty-four hours later, I'm still coming to grips with the realities that lay bare in front of
us. The word epic gets bandied about far too often for incorrect situations, but it may well be the
only apt adjective to truly describe what was an unforgettable night at The Bridge.
Ducky's Note: Ratna Prashanth analyzes Cahill's signing and what it means
for Chelsea
Finally, after a loooooong discussion of personal terms, Chelsea announced the signing of Bolton
Wanderers' English-born central defender Gary Cahill. This is a much needed signing at a low price

defence the whole season.

QPR 1st Statement
QPR1st Supporters Trust: Paladini and the FAQPR1st Supporters Trust wishes to congratulate our players for achieving promotion to the
premiership.
I regret to report that Richard "Dick" Winters has made his final jump - he has passed away after a
long illness. A quiet and humble man, Winters received a level of fame he wasn't used to after HBO
turned the Stephen Ambrose book Band of Brothers into an acclaimed mini-series in 2001.
Winters served as an officer in the 101st Airborne Division's 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment,
Easy Company.
