We hate when we disappoint our readers with uncharacteristically sporadic posting schedules, but to
be honest, we've been off our rockers all day. For that we must properly apologise: 1. We're sorry.
2. It won't happen again...this week. 3. What man candy can we bribe you with so we can makeup and
be BFFs again?
What happens when you tie a piñata to the crossbar after a U.S. U-17 WNT practice? Surely it was
going to end poorly for the Pinata. You can find out what did happen in this ussoccer.com video,
but here is a hint below.
After the U.S. team procured the candy, the players actually gave most of it (but not all of it)
away to more than a few Guatemalan children who were watching practice.
There's still eight Premier League rounds left to be played and Manchester United only have a
slippery three-point lead on Man City in the table, but that hasn't stopped one Man United T-shirt
site from already counting their 20th title and mocking City all in one premature shirt.
Already on sale at UnitedTees.
The FA hates Liverpool, but the feeling's probably mutual. Dirk Kuyt can score, or at least he
used to be able to. And hey, I've got something to show you. Right over here. That's right, don't
be frightened...

Love Follow Conquer – LFC jackets up for grabs
BACK in more simple times the only writing to be found on a Liverpool shirt was the letters
under the Liverbird. "L.F.C." No space was given over to Hitachi, Crown Paints or Candy. There was
no room for the name of the kit manufacturer, just a small logo – at most.
Taking Mo-vember to new depths, late night cabs and a 4-3 thriller
Matt Lawrence has played for seven league clubs including Fulham, Crystal Palace and Millwall,
for whom he appeared in the 2004 FA Cup final during his 16-year career. Now with League Two
Gillingham, his diary will appear on MirrorFootball every Monday.
You know, no matter how disheartening the season just gone has been, pre-season generally
provides a measure of confidence. A page has been turned over like some kind of new leaf, and you
go into the new one full of hope and optimisim.
It's hard to feel that yet this summer, I have to say. I know that much of it has to do with the
blanket coverage, the Twittering, the non-stop chatter about Arsenal when we might be best served
stepping away for a little while and not analysing the ever-loving shite out of every single
utterance made by every single person connected with the club.
There was plenty of speculation as to what the Philadelphia Union's reaction would be to three
of the team's top players missing the club's flight home from Colorado. Today, multiple beat
writers covering the Union are quoting assistant coach John Hackworth as saying that the three have
received "undisclosed fines.
Continuing coverage of CandyGate (which conveniently involves both candy and an airport gate)!
It appears that the candy was king size and that the Union players used them to trap Conor Casey in
an airport supply closet. Then Pablo Mastroeni tweeted a picture of the candy, but took it down and
claimed that Danny Califf hacked into his twitter account (although he later admitted this and
Saturday's penalty were both terrible deceptions).
