Liverpool 1 Man United 3, January 30, 1960

You've got to love the Scousers. When Liverpool were drawn at home to Manchester United in the 4th round of the FA Cup in January 1960 it was immediately declared an all-ticket match, naturally enough as United had already attracted the two largest league attendances of the season, despite being in the bottom half of the table.

There are a couple of good stories on the Chicago Fire, Section 8, and everything Chicago soccer that should not be missed. Let's start with Guillermo Rivera of Fire Confidential with some quotes from Frank Klopas. On the players taking part in the MLS SuperDraft Combine right now, Klopas had this to say:

These players have been off for a few months so it's tough to judge guys on these games, we've seen most of them before now so we're looking for the best fit based on who's available when we pick.

He's off to terrorise turntables
from Munich to Berlin.

After the summer entertainment that was Ryan Babel hopping in a helicopter and buzzing off to all four corners of the British Isles in an attempt to find a new home only for nothing to happen, a transfer deal for the enigmatic attacker has finally been done, as he'll be heading off to the Bundesliga to join TSG 1899 Hoffenheim.

The Russian attacker Andrei Arshavin has looked out of sorts all season, and although he has scored a few goals (and quite a few assists as well) he has rarely looked animated in games except for short periods. The flashes of brilliance that the Arsenal fans expected to see last season are rarely seen this [.

So Manchester City have done it again. They have signed the hugely talented Edin Dzeko from Wolfsburg for £28 million. This signing does more than strengthen their squad, it is a statement that the club believe that they will totally win the EPL this year and that Dzeko will go a long way to ensure that this happens.

I'm finding it really hard to write anything in relation to Saturday's game. I'm not sure why that is but maybe it's the fact I can see 4th spot slowly disappearing into the distance? As a result this will be short and sweet.

We were unlucky with injuries at left back but with only 10 minutes on the clock before Bale had to leave the action and judging by his previous left back performances this season it might not have made much difference.

If you're like me, it seems like this winter has been absolutely interminable - and we're still about a week away from February. After the disappointing end to last season, Red Bulls fans are eager to get back at it and see if we can finally win that elusive cup. Well, we won't have to wait too much longer.

Well, we're still waiting to get the confirmation on the arrival of David Luiz, but two of our youngsters have been on the move in search of some consistent first-team football.

After yesterday's rumors that Gael Kakuta was down the visiting our neighbors down the road for a nice lunchtime medical, Chelsea have confirmed today that our French youngster has completed a loan move with Fulham until the end of the season.

Until recently, the shy Andres Iniesta was unrecognizable by much of the world. For years his brilliance was hidden, but thanks to his winning goal in last years World Cup and his key role in Barcelona's success, he is no longer Barça's underrated midfielder. Now a household name, Iniesta has become one of Nike's favorites, [.

As an indie kid of the 90s with a full range of lumberjack shirts and floppy hats to match, I remember the very moment I discovered the music of Oasis.
