Rumors began pouring out this afternoon that Chuck Blazer would step down as General Secratary of

My dear beloved Forest, what on earth has happened to us? We used to have such great times and were
so happy together and now we just seem to be drifting apart. Your flowing moves used to excite me
to the point of distraction, and the climax to those moves was often unbelievable. Your passion and
commitment used to warm me on a cold Saturday afternoon when we spent time together, but now your
caresses have become cold and uncaring.

Miss the smell of smoke bombs, the throbbing bass of Ludwig, Neal on scales and the screaming?
Well, we can't promise any of those, but you can at least commiserate with like minded folks.
Take advantage of this chance to get away from those persistent holiday visitors and see your real
family, the Dark Clouds.

My beloved Minnesota Stars FC begin defense of their NASL championship this Saturday! If you live
anywhere within driving distance of the Twin Cities then I fully expect to see you at the game.
There are no excuses.
-And the Dark Clouds have a new motto for 2012.
There is a full scale revolt going on by the deeply unhappy Marseille fans against their club.
L'OM lost seven straight matches in the Ligue till their weekend draw against Nice, were knocked
out of the French Cup by third division US Quevilly, and their third string goalie Elinton Andrade
was drafted for the Bayern Munich match following Steve Mandandas suspension.
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. There can be few other sets of football
supporters that have had to bear up to the sort of agony and exhilaration that the supporters of
Darlington FC have had to put up with yesterday but eventually, more than an hour after final
confirmation one way or the other of the clubs fate was due to be announced, those concerned with
saving the club emerged before the press to make the announcement that so many had hoped for:
Darlington Football Club remains alive for now, at least.

Football loves its phrases. We speak of a player getting stuck in and having good feet for a
big man, while saying his form is poor as he's gone off the boil. Some squads play Route One
football and others just run about. Â The sports lexicon is thick with these and many other
sayings that at times can remind us in short order what message is attempting to be conveyed a
little Richard Keys banter if you like and on other occasions cause us to grind our teeth slightlyÂ
at their overusage again, a little Richard Keys banter if you like.
You have NO excuse for not attending the Stars home Semifinal game on Saturday night.
