Dirty Tackle 05 October @ 12:35 AM EST
On a weekend where Sir Alex Ferguson made headlines after Man United's lucky 2-2 draw with
Sunderland on Saturday by saying:
"The fitness of both sets of players, the pace of the game, demanded a referee who was fit. He
[the match ref]'s not fit.
"It's an indictment of our game that we see referees from abroad are fit as butchers' dogs.

Anfield Talk 07 September @ 12:26 PM EST
Fernando Torres could not be happier on Merseyside, citing the predominantly working-class
background of the city of Liverpool as one of the reasons he feels so at home in the north
west.
"The people are so nice and polite here, and have a lot of respect for players when you are away
from the pitch," he told The Liverpool Echo.

Can't you tell? Apparently he's the DJ for the Red Devils.
Evra, 28, said: "I enjoy the role very much. Before the match I sit down in my room and
work out a playlist.
"I have to change it every time. You don't know these guys - they're like dogs!
"They're hungry for new songs and get angry if it's the same stuff as the last game.

Patrice Evra, who never fails to impress when he is interviewed, has had a few words with MUTV
about a variety of topics, and again does a great job of it.
"It's a privilege to play for Manchester United and I try and enjoy every moment at this
club," he said. "When you pull on the shirt you also pull on the history that comes with
it and you need to do that history proud and respect what's come before.

Quick stuff this morning, as the dogs bark and the sun makes its way through the green leaves
and into the blue (for now) sky.
The Phillies lost to the Cubbies yesterday ... so that means their new winning streak begins
now! The Red Sox lost another game ... and some more ground to the Yankees.

Two things stand out in particular:

I have been as sick as a dog lately, so I decided to plop down and watch a few more
movies so I could keep the STO Soccer Film Review series running strong. I have worked like a
dog to already review several films dealing with humans playing the world's most beautiful
game, but.

Cause I couldnt think of anything left to write about this team. Everytime that I would sit down
and try to write something good about this team they would go and screw it up for me. Tonight was
no exception. For months we have had swiss cheese for a defensive line. Tonight they got alot of
help from the midfield for 3/4 of the game and we looked good.

Word on the street is that the City of Carson is going to try and crack down on the beloved Home
Depot Center Bacon Wrapped Hot Dog Vendors and take all the carts away!
This is a total injustice and straight up B.S.! The Bacon Dogs are part of the Home Depot Center
Soccer experience and have become quite famous as an after game treat.

There's some shuffling going on at the top of the pack, as the descent of the Fire and Chivas makes
way for some new dogs to get a sniff at the front of the Playoff Pack. And down around the fringes,
there's a mighty scramble going on as sides...

It exacts the strictest discipline
To truly take it easy
Yet still retain the minimal
Quiver of ambition
Required for consciousness.
That's what I've been working on all morning,
Stretched out on the couch,
By the cabin window at Bob's,
Watching the rain,
Without pattern,
Fall on the pond,
Just me and the dogs.

An interesting exchange of comments on yesterday's post.
Which prompted me to ask my lover "Who's Shepherd"?
He kindly pointed me in the direction of the Internet.
"Look for Freddy Shepherd" he said. "I think you may have a few things to say about him".
My interest was further fuelled when I heard Alan Brazil on the Talk Sport Breakfast Show saying he
has it on very good authority that Freddy Shepherd is interested in buying Newcastle United off
Mike Ashely and riding in on a white charger to become a Magpie legend.

Denilson has been the cause of many a discussion between Gooners over the year.
Some think he is shit, some think he is average, and some think he is the dogs bollocks. I happen
to think that Denilson is a good player who potentially could evolve into a very good player.
He has his critics, but there are stats that show he has had a good season at Arsenal and is
probably a very underrated player at the club.

Continuing on from yesterdays Player Profile, here is someone who will be touted to join Arsenal in
the coming months; Lorik Cana. The 25-year-old Marseille midfielder has admitted that he's likely
to leave L'OM this summer after seeing his team lose to Bordeaux in the race for the Ligue 1 title.

Weather.com says we're in for a good one tomorrow. The forecast is calling for temperatures right
in the upper 70's at kickoff. The injury report looks familiar, with the same big three still
listed as out. Chance Myers was back training today with the team for a portion of the session, but
he's still got some time before he's 90-minute match fit.

Ivan Obolo scored the winner in tonight's Stockholm derby at RÃ¥sunda, where AIK beat
Djurgården 1-0. "A really fine goal," Obolo told Canal Plus. Modest, isn't he?
AIK's Sporting Director was asked about Obolo's future after the game, and with the transfer
window approaching, he fell short of a resounding commitment to keep the Argentinian in Sweden.

So there is a very credible rumor that has been ciculating for days that due to availability at
the Community America Ballpark (CAB), the temporary home of the Wizards, one of the Superliga games
against a Mexican team will be played in Saint Louis instead of KC. If this turns out to be true,
Wizards fans, like myself, who show up at all home games, regardless of the weather (and if you
were at the San Jose game you know what I'm talking about) will be denied an international match at
home.

Arsenal take on Manchester United in the second leg of their Champions League semi-final at
Emirates Stadium this evening looking to overturn a 1-0 deficit. The Gunners were outplayed at Old
Trafford and fortunate not to concede more goals. Could Arsenal's top players beat United's dogged
stars?

According to a loyal MLSR reader;
"Gary Lezak with his dogs and in a Wizards uniform. He's a big dog fan and will likely be at the

Guess that's enough to add him to the Celebrity Fan Gallery.

Roy Keane's return to football management was almost a certainty after his departure from
Sunderland, however his return to football management at Ipswich Town has come as a move which
hardly anyone would have predicted. The Tractor Boys achieved European glory under then manager
Bobby Robson when they lifted the Uefa Cup back in 1981.

The dog's frolics You just don't get as many dogs on the pitch in English games anymore, do you?
Fortunately, the old school football tradition is alive and kicking in Lithuania. The match between
Žalgiris and Mažeikiai on Sunday was briefly held up when a cheeky pup made his way onto the
field of play intent [.

The U-20 MNT got a break from training today, instead going through a regeneration session at the
hotel's fitness center and pool. In the afternoon, to keep everyone from going stir crazy, Sheanon
William's family invited us over to their house... Suffice to say, there were plenty of things to
do in their amazing house, but even if there were only monkeys they guys would have been perfectly
content for a few hours to play with them.

The Irons 4 Lambeth 5 As it's early days and the Irons are a new team, we'll go easy on them for
now, truth is, they do deserve a coating for the friendly defeat on Saturday, but on a positive
note there's room for improvement, and thanks to UK Football Finder they have found a few gems.
They also looked the dogs in their new UKFF sponsored kit!

Who doesn't love a giant-killer game? Despite being at home, the Rapids were the dogs on Sunday
and they knew it. They had to shut down Blanco and McBride, and they did it. That's going to (or at
least should boost the confidence). It should also help that this was our first back-to-back win
all year.

It seems that Freddy Shepherd is feeling his way back to Newcastle. And he says that Ashley
should reinstall Kevin Keegan.
Shepherd really brings a lot of baggage and I don't think this is a good move. He held the fans
and the players in contempt while at Newcastle. And he never once took responsibility for getting
it wrong.
