Arsereview actually reviews something (part two): Nike Arsenal Full Zip Jacket

Arsereview 16 November @ 04:30 PM EST
You may remember that back in May I reviewed a football for this blog. You probably don't, but such is life.
If you do, you would remember that Soccerpro asked me to give an "honest, unbiased opinion" on the blog and in return, I could keep the product they sent me. To me, it seemed a fair offer, so that was exactly what I did: I wrote an honest review - that it was a good football, and in return I had a lovely football to play with until I kicked it on the neighbour's roof, never to be seen again.

Update: Earthquakes at Galaxy

100 Percent Soccer 24 October @ 11:12 PM EST

Galaxy 2 Earthquakes 0

After a rather listless first half, an end to end move by the Galaxy in the 77th minute has appeared to seal the win.

Goalkeeper Donovan Ricketts started the play, getting the ball to David Beckham, who passed to Landon Donovan, who in turn got it out wide to substitute Chris Klein on the wing.

Arsenal to Make The Emirate More Arsenal!

Arsenal News News News 12 September @ 08:00 AM EST

In the close season Arsene Wenger talked about making the Emirates more "Arsenal". So we waited to see what was to happen.

When the Emirates was opened four summers ago, it was clear that the money had run out and there were many blank, concrete clad walls. Arsenal fans accepted this as a short term measure knowing that things would improve.

Transfer Rumors (10 August 09): Liverpool eye Honda, Everton after PSG star Sessegnon, Barcelona admit Fabregas interest, and more

SoccerLens 10 August @ 02:45 PM EST

We're less than a week away from the start of the new Premier League season, and though many clubs have solidified their squads for the most part, there are still a lot of moves to come in the next three weeks before the summer transfer window closes.

The two Merseyside clubs looking to be eying up a couple of talented midfielders from abroad, while Hull City are picking up some real steam in the transfer market after hitting brick wall after brick wall for much of the summer.

One year ago in American Soccer News

American Soccer News 30 June @ 07:09 AM EST

A goal by Kenny Cooper gave FC Dallas a 1-1 draw at Houston Dynamo and clinched El Capitan, the cannon awarded to the winner of the season series between the Texas rivals, for FCD (ASN, June 29, 2008). The game was Dallas' second under coach Schellas Hyndman. The teams drew three times last season but FCD took the trophy by outscoring Houston in road goals.

Joe Cannon wants points not saves

CSRN - US Soccer News 14 June @ 02:12 PM EST

San Jose Earthquakes goalkeeper doesn't care about his saves if his team doesn't get any points from a game. Following his team's 2-1 loss away to Seattle, Cannon was clear after the game that saves are great when you get something from a game. Speaking to reporters after the game Cannon said: "I felt like I did all right and they didn't create much, the couple of saves just kind of came.

Wolves played beyond expectations

Soccer Pie 02 June @ 02:59 AM EST

A week ago Wolfsburg managed to fulfill their dream and reach the champion's title. Even though their primary aim was reaching Champions League for the first time, after the first part of the season, even that seemed unreachable for Felix Magath's men. The Wolves were the best hosts with only two points dropped at home, while they have gone whole autumn without winning away.

World Power Systems!

Dan Loney Says It All 09 May @ 02:17 PM EST
I have been WAY too heavy on the WPS stuff, I admit it. Mostly because right now, MLS is baffling. I've been afraid to read reactions to the Red Bulls win, because I think it's 50% Celades being New York's first really good acquisition since JPA, 50% San Jose not having Huckerby, and 50% San Jose being measurably worse than advertised.

Changes to El Capitan

The Offside - Houston 07 May @ 02:28 PM EST

The Houston Dynamo and FC Dallas announced rules changes for awarding El Capitán, the 18th-century cannon presented annually to the winner of the teams' season series. The teams will meet for the first time in 2009 on Saturday night at 8:00 p.m. at Robertson Stadium in Houston.

The new rules do not include the away goals tiebreaker that was used last year, as the teams now play an unequal number of home and away games in regular season play.

Spain 1-0 Germany

Oh, You Beauty... 29 June @ 08:21 PM EST
Goals:
Torres 33'
The first thing I voiced after starting these Spain reviews was the worry that my support for the Spanish squad would jinx their chances. After the conclusion of the tournament, I'm happy to say the opposite turned out to be true.
As I'm sure you've read multiple times by now, this is Spain's first major trophy in 44 years. Click to continue reading...

Are you going to go Thisaway?

Sideline Views 11 January @ 05:51 PM EST
It's Thisaway's turn to win readers over one last time in our final template poll.
I guess I might as well throw in my reaction to the Joe Cannon move. Personally, I liked Joe - he was a stand-up guy who would take on most any question any reporter had. It makes me a little sad to think that his honesty and my reporting what he said ever got him in trouble, because the world needs more forthright people. Click to continue reading...

The gang's all back together

Sideline Views 11 January @ 11:19 AM EST
... in San Jose.
Like Frank Yallop, Joe Cannon's stay in Los Angeles was not what it could have been. Like Yallop, Cannon had long been considered one of the league's best at what he did yet neither could recreate that magic with the Galaxy.
Yallop left the Galaxy for San Jose, and he's now taken his preferred goalkeeper with him. Click to continue reading...

Cannon Traded To San Jose

WVHooligan 10 January @ 03:13 PM EST
Talk about making a splash as they come back into the MLS. The San Jose Earthquakes (2.0 as some like to call them) have gone out and traded for old Earthquakes netminder Joe Cannon from the Los Angeles Galaxy for a partial allocation. Wow. I wasn't at all expecting this deal to come through this quickly. Click to continue reading...

Ruiz To LA? The Wildness Keeps On Coming

WVHooligan 11 December @ 04:05 PM EST
Its not a completely done deal but talks around the league say that along with the Joe Cannon to DC deal could also see a deal with LA and Dallas moving Carlos Ruiz back to the City of Angels. So this could be some kind of a mega-deal. Just a recap: Joe Cannon to DC Carlos Ruiz to LA (possibly, [...] Click to continue reading...

Joe Cannon To DC?

WVHooligan 11 December @ 11:05 AM EST
One of the league's all-time best keepers could be on the move again this off-season. Steve Goff is reporting that a deal between the LA Galaxy and DC United for Joe Cannon could be in the works and may already be a done deal. Its hard to even give reasons against this kind of move for [...] Click to continue reading...

Cannon disappointed

Sideline Views 19 October @ 10:07 AM EST
After the excessive time it took for the Galaxy to open their locker room on Thursday and being told that the commissioner's mandate was "just a sign," I didn't go in their for one second. It's too bad, because I wanted to get some player reaction about the result. Frank Yallop seemed rather upbeat despite not winning but I wanted to hear how the guys on the field felt.

More Joe

Sideline Views 09 September @ 01:45 PM EST
After the Galaxy's first two goalscorers versus Colorado went down with injuries, I asked Joe Cannon how worried he was during the rest of the match about the extent of their damage.

"To be honest, I'm so happy that they scored, that I'm not really thinking about that. I'm so relieved that we're on top. The forwards are the last things that I'm thinking about at that point.

Joe dishes the dirt

Sideline Views 09 September @ 10:02 AM EST
In what could be a turning point in the history of our blog, we now have documented proof that some players read it - or at least have informants who read the material, then deliver hopefully accurate approximations of what we actually write.

Truth be told, I felt rather awkward standing there post-game, realizing the swing the conversation was taking.

Cannon's conundrum

Sideline Views 31 August @ 09:32 AM EST
Practically no goalkeeper had had a longer tenure in MLS than Kevin Hartman with the Los Angeles Galaxy. Unlike the sometimes-sullen Zach Thornton, who also had a long stint with Chicago, Kevin was outgoing and congenial with fans - justifiably a Galaxy favorite for years.
It was never going to be easy for Joe Cannon to take over in such a situation, but to do so in this difficult season has only compounded the adjustment. Click to continue reading...

More Joe

Sideline Views 29 August @ 07:50 AM EST
This audio clip doesn't really have to do with the SuperLiga final, well, not much to do with anything at all I suppose, as far as the Galaxy's on-the-field performances goes, but Joe Cannon talked with a German TV crew for a few minutes yesterday.
The first response is to a question about how David Beckham has affected Joe's life.
I was standing behind the new rope the Galaxy has introduced to keep the players away from us (or is it the other way around? Click to continue reading...
