Working on the MLS Anti-Awards for 2009. Last chance for suggestions, but I'll give you a hint -
couple of local Southern California players figure big.
But speaking of worst, I wanted to point out that the Daily Telegraph is an idiot.
The topic is worst sports uniforms. Coincidentally, one of my favorite sites, UniWatchBlog, is
running a contest for worst American sports uniform of all time.

A midweek prediction special as Scottish football's least revered competition reaches the quarter
final stage.Dundee v RangersRangers rediscovered some vim on Saturday but, crucially, still
couldn't overcome Hibs. This is a poor Rangers side further distracted by off the field disasters.
Quite a contrast to Dundee who are flying high and luxuriating in new found riches.

Does anyone really need any commentary on last night's 2-nil victory over Olympiakos? It was
just pure, absolute domination for 90 minutes. Olympiakos registered only one true scoring
opportunity but Mannone came up trumps when called upon not long after the restart.
As the match was getting into the later stages and it looked like it might be one of those
nights when Arsenal just can't get the ball to actually cross the goalline, I was thinking to
myself that, if this match finished scoreless, it would've been the most one-sided nil-nil draw I
had ever seen.

Man United goalkeeper
Ben Foster has thanked manager
Sir Alex Ferguson for
having faith in him. Foster didn't have the best of games in the Manchester derby, he was then
rested in the Carling Cup last Wednesday but he was picked for the Stoke match last Saturday.
Foster didn't have much to do in the Stoke match but hopefully keeping a clean sheet will have
given Foster some much needed confidence.

The Spirit of Shankly Supporters Union should be a good thing. Only this week did I
look at how pathetic the majority of Liverpool fans had been in reaction to their Yank takeover,
but this union is nothing but a disgrace that does not deserve to associate itself with a great
manager, and man, Bill Shankly.

It's no doubt that Arsenal couldn't perform in the last two matches .First
being the second leg of the champions league semi final in the emirates as they
lost 1-0 at the old Trafford it was crucial for them not to give away goals at
emirates .The main reason for man u to win this match was because of Cristiano
Rolando's beautiful performance and arsenal worst defense because the main players in the
defense were Gallas and Clichy who couldn't play the game though
Gibbs and song tried their best, having an advantage like that for Manchester
united is enough for a win like that(3-1) .

It has gone down as one of the most infamous fashion disasters in English football kit history.
Coventry City, who wear a Sky Blue home kit, made the now infamous choice of chocolate brown as
the colour of their away strip in the 1970s.
The kit was made in 1978 by Admiral, who also made the England kit at the time, and featured
three white curved stripes than ran from the side of the shirts and right down to the shorts.

Sunday's Dutch league match between Groningen and Ajax was postponed after fans thought it would be
a tremendous idea to set fire to toilet rolls and throw them towards the pitch. What the fans
didn't realise was that hot firey paper near plastic seats leads to hot melty plastic and nasty
noxious black smoke, which will make you sick.
