Despite the occasional minor disagreement, we love PPL's other boys (and girls) in blue (and yellow), the security team. But when the Dead Bulls come to town, are the SoB's paying the price for New York's lack of class?

Philadelphia 1 – Salt Lake 1 Philadelphia kept their home undefeated streak intact after falling behind to a 24th minute Keon Daniel goal. That took a 53rd minute equalizer from Fabian Espindola that not only kept the Union's streak going, but also brought them level on points with 1st-place New York.

Some brief interviews with the guys regarding Sunday's match against the New York Red Bulls.

Ngwenya, who turned out for Railstars before leaving for the US, was on Tuesday seen training with newly-promoted Chicken Inn.
"They (DC United) will be starting preparations soon, but I am still here, I have some stuff that I have to sort out," Ngwenya said.
A source at Railstars, where Ngwenya was training last week told NewsDay Sport on Thursday that the player indicated he would be going back to the US in two weeks.

We've decided to add a new category to the site aptly named "Ian Holloway Watch", he's been a breath of fresh air since Blackpool reached the EPL via the Play-Offs last Summer, his no bulls**t attitude to both EPL authorities and clubs have been outrageous, his current stance on midfielder Charlie Adams staying at Bloomfield Road have been as entertaining as his teams attacking football on the pitch and here's our first installment of "Ian Holloway watch".

A few shots from the day of the Dead Bulls match. Anybody know any good photographers willing to work for backrubs?

That's all I have because that headline would shine brighter than anything I could write about that game. I challenge you to do better. No, seriously please leave your own terrible/brilliant NY Post-style headline in the comments.

David Trezeguet To Red Bulls?

A french paper is reporting that NYRB are in discussions to re-unite the former French striking pair

You never know what you're gonna get with Albirex Niigata in the SLeague. The other day they thumped Gombak United 5-1. Not long before that they got turned over by Geylang United, 1-0. Their 42 goals from 19 games makes them the second highest goalscorers in the SLeague behind Home United and they sit in 4th place, 4 points behind leaders Home.

There might be a bit of delusion setting in at Porto after their astonishing run under Roman's latest boy toy last year, and it doesn't seem to show any signs of stopping.

Porto prez Pinto da Costa keeps the insanity and inanity coming:

"It may sound like a heresy, but I would not trade Hulk for Cristiano Ronaldo.

Game night, fans. The Bulls are in Rio Tinto looking to pick up crucial points away from home. Keep it locked here for live banter with yours truly and feel free to chime in and let your voice be heard.

I understand Gombak United coach Darren Stewart is being linked with a move to Johor ahead of next season's Malaysia Premier League.
Aussie Stewart is in his third season with The Bulls and many felt the team would have won some silverware in 2010 had the fates not conspired against them so cruelly.

Nearly three months since the Bulls beat down Toronto at the Cathedral, but it seems like three years ago. Despite winning two from their last three league matches, few supporters can be accused of hubris as we begin the month that will determine whether or not the year's a success or a humiliating failure.

Ah that perennially heart-warming animal-on-a-football-pitch story!

Well, here's the latest to put a simpering smile on your face. During a Copa Sudamericana game between Santa Fé and Botafogo, a canine whippersnapper decided to indulge in a bit of player and official baiting.

I'm late on this, but it's worth following up on how Paul Kemsley is out at the Fake Cosmos and that the organization is facing a lawsuit for payment of money to the youth sides it cravenly rebranded. David Kilpatrick at The Viper's Nest gloats accordingly:

Speaking of goodbyes, none more welcome than shyster wideboy Paul Kemsley.

People frequenting this small online settlement will be well-aware that I get jittery as fuck when big games come along. Arsenal have proved themselves to be flaccid and impotent on many occasions in the past; slipping, sliding, making elementary mistakes and prompting the inception of cringe-worthy wordplay jokes, perennially fuelling my jitters in the process.
