Top of the morning to one and all.
Penalties. What are they all about?
Welcoming Sarah Flotel from Hot Scores to talk penalties. Sarah delivers the science and the
insight.
I pick three isolated examples and use them to explain why Colin Murdock's better than Frank de
Boer.
Steven Gerrard's groin is back. It's fit, rested, and ready to go. And maybe also tanned. Though
for now that last bit remains unconfirmed. It also remains to be seen whether it's in it for the
long haul this time around or fated to leave Steven Gerrard and millions of fans around the world
feeling let down again.
This transfer window has involved extreme amounts of rumors. And Capernicus was apparently
wrong, as the whole world revolved and devolved around Cesc.
Now that it's over, we can check the tally and assess the carnage most of which involve Luka
Modric's hopes and dreams and his sense of happy, which is unhappy.
The season's almost here, and it's time for every Liverpool fan to talk of how, if things fall
just right, this could be the year. Like Fabio Aurelio's bones and muscles and tendons and
ligaments, hoping for everything to turn out perfectly is probably asking just a bit too much.
Still, it's a new season, the mood is upbeat, and if there was ever a time to give in and embrace
overly ambitious hopes and dreams then this is that time.
(Bleacher Report) In what has been a reason of heartache and pain for Liverpool, it has also been a
season of revived hopes and dreams. New faces, new leadership and new owners with a desire to win
have done wonders for the Reds and the club as a whole.
Alex Livesey/Getty ImagesThe January arrival of Luis Suarez has sparked a sleeping attack for the
Reds, as his creativity and tenacious attacking desire to get in the mix has pushed the Reds to
their best since his regular inclusions began in late February.
I hate to be depressing at a time when our hopes and dreams should be running wild, at that time of
year when expectation can be completely disproportionate to the reality of a situation, when
everyone thinks their club is going to be the one next season. Frankly it is better to never expect
too much, doing so leaves one invariably disappointed, and this is certainly the case for the
majority of
It took twelve months but Fulham have finally hired Martin Jol as their manager. Jol signed a
two year deal worth a reported £1.5million-a-year plus bonuses.
A year ago Fulham wanted to hire Jol after Roy Hodgson left for Liverpool. but Ajax would not
release him. Ajax was no longer an obstacle as Jol quit Ajax in December of last year.

It was 1992, Wembley Stadium, the European Cup final between Sampdoria and Barcelona. I remember
seeing Gianluca Vialli sent through with only Zubizaretta to beat and he lobbed the goalkeeper but
put it wide. Then in extra time, Ronald Koeman ended all my hopes and dreams as he smashed a free
kick past Gianluca Pagliuca to hand Barcelona the trophy.

Gone two and there's no sleep. A long day, 6 hours driving, in between people needed me, lent on
me, drained me more than the queue on the Purley Way or the Blackwall Tunnel. The Tunnel. Please
let loose from your grip, just let me through, always the Tunnel, it's holiday time, people are
away for chrissakes, for once let me through.
Things are pretty quiet today on the Arsenal front. We're still waiting for confirmation of Jens
Lehmann's emergency signing. Then again, the official website tends to lag behind the rest of us on
these matters so expect confirmation from them sometime in May. In any case, it looks to be set and
Keown thinks it could be good for us, so expect the mad German to be on the bench this weekend.
Its a slow news day around these parts for me. What can I say I really don't care to talk about
the hundreds of players rumored to come to MLS during this transfer window. Just isn't my cup of
tea at the moment.
Instead I'm hitting the way-back machine for this one as Argentine club Boca Juniors is once
again going public with their hopes and dreams of owning a MLS club one day.
By Kirsten Schlewitz /
Senior West Coast Beer and Aston Villa CorrespondentThe Major League Soccer SuperDraft—was it good for you? Did your team fulfill your hopes and
dreams, or were you left stuttering and confused? If you're a Galaxy fan, you might as well drink
through until the start of the season.
Although this seems a little like a broken record that nobody can quite be bothered to turn off
because the tune still brings a little joy to some of those in the room (while admittedly bringing
depression and misery to those who are sick of it and want it turned off as soon as possible), it
seems bizarre that Roy Hodgson still has a job.
