It has been a year filled with unfortunate events so far this football season and I am sad to report that La Liga has lost another former player. Robert Enke who was currently with German squad Hannover 96 has died from an apparent suicide. Enke, well known for his role as Germany's starting keeper as of January 2009, played for two different La Liga squads over the course of his career and was considered by many football critics one of the most dependable keepers not only in Germany, but in the entire world.

Just as the Second World War had started at the beginning of the football season, it ended in Britain, at least at what would have been the end of it. It took, however, many years for the country to recover from the end of the fighting, so perhaps it is unsurprising that the Football League was unable to resume fixtures for the start of the 1945/46 season.

Dear Mr. Goodell,

What has been witnessed all season long at Qwest Field in Seattle is the potential of professional Soccer in the U.S. Interestingly, it has all taken place at a football stadium. Who would have ever guessed, 14 years in, that MLS would make its biggest impact in a football stadium.

I know we are still in the first part of the football season but it seems to me that some changes might occur at the top of the football chain. Some teams that always have made a good impression are getting worse.
Some examples are Bayern Munchen and AC Milan. Both teams played in the UEFA Cup in recent years and this year they are having weak runs in the domestic leagues with Bayern in 6th position and Milan in 8th. Click to continue reading...

After a 2-1 victory over the Houston Dynamo, I must admit that Columbus is a very good team. They are very skilled at what they do. Unfortunately, flopping is one of the things they do very well.

I have been debating with myself whether soccer is even worth watching, especially now that football season has started.

Phew, another busy week in the life of the Arsenal and the long summer days when we dreamed of the football season returning are certainly in the dim and distant past now. Two games a week helps us settle back in nicely to our routine and before we know it it's Friday again and, yes, a trip to Manchester United looms in the Premier League's biggest game so far this season.

This post, which is in the main for subscribers only, suggests a new manner by which to increase your trading bank in the most efficient manner over the football season.
We all start the season with a kitty, a bank put aside for trading the markets.
The fundamental trading strategy is to optimise returns over a series of truncated events, to use the compound nature of successful trading, to reinvest one's profits, in order to generate the maximal end of season kitty. Click to continue reading...

The English Premier League 2009–2010 Football Season is here!

Both managers will be eager to get some points after disappointing starts to the season. Former Wanderer Phil Brown has so far suffered two defeats this season; the first against Chelsea (a respectable 2-1 at Stamford Bridge) and a midweek 5-1 battering by Tottenham Hotspur at the KC Stadium, including a hat–trick from Jermain Defoe.

Football in Malta has started to make a real impression in European competitions over the last couple of years but, as Paul Grech reports, the new season starts under a cloud amid controversy over match-fixing allegations involving two of the clubs in the Maltese Premier League.

Days before the Maltese football season is due to start and still the future of Marsaxlokk FC and Vittoriosa Stars, the two clubs at the centre of corruption charges, is unknown after hearings were repeatedly postponed.

I know alot of people don't like it when I say things like this, but Spurs probably deserved the 3 points. Yes we should have been awarded another penalty in the 86th minute, but we've been down this road before and referring decisions balance themselves out over the course of a season.
It was a poor performance from us and we looked like a team in pre-season mode. Click to continue reading...
