Davy Arnaud took over the number one spot on the list this season, but with his departure, Michael
Harrington is the only player on the roster to appear in 100 games for KC.
Continuing the stat updating for you tonight, it's time to update the 10,000 minute club.
In league play one new player joined the 10,000 minute club, as Michael Harrington became the 12th
player for Kansas City, Davy Arnaud also jumped up 1 spot on the list moving ahead of Jimmy Conrad.
Another new stat for you today regarding Sporting KC. And it's another single season stat. Here's a
list of the top ten single season appearances and starts.
Top ten appearances in league play in a single season.
1. CJ Sapong - 34 - 2011
2. Preki - 32 - 1996
2. Mark Chung - 32 - 1996
2.
Continuing with the statistical updating that I've been doing, here's another new stat that I
hadn't previously done. Here are the top 10 single season minutes for players throughout the team's
history. As I mentioned a few times late in the year this year, Matt Besler ended up tied for the
3rd most minutes played in league play in team history.
Today, MLS announced the coaching staff and roster for the upcoming Generation Adidas trip to the
Netherlands. Peter Vermes and the Sporting Kansas City coaching staff have been named the coaches
for the trip. Vermes will be joined by Zoran Savic, John Pascarella, and Juniors coach Jon Parry on
the tour.
Word out of Colombia earlier today stated that Sporting KC assistant, Octavio Zambrano, had
accepted the position to coach Colombian second division side, Deportivo Pereira. Throughout the
day there was word that nothing was quite official and that Zambrano was just on personal leave
from the team. But late today, the team officially announced the departure of Peter Vermes top
assistant.

So one of the longest careers in Sporting Kansas City Wizards history ended today with Davy Arnaud
being traded from Sporting Kansas City to the Montreal Impact for Seth Sinovic and allocation
money. I've never been good at eloquently writing down how good a player was for this team or how
much I'll miss seeing them in a Kansas City jersey.
Davy Arnaud made his 238th league appearance for KC, breaking his tie with Kerry Zavagnin for the
most appearances in team history in league play.
Peterson Joseph was the 13th player to make their league debut for KC this year, the most debuts in
a season since 21 in the team's inagural season in 1996.
Yes I'm late, but there were lots of good stats from last night's game. The biggest of all was Davy
Arnaud tying the club record for league appearances at 237, but Kei Kamara also had plenty of
milestones as well.
Davy Arnaud made his 237th appearance in league play for KC, tying Kerry Zavagnin for the most
appearances in team history.
Yesterday as a bit of a joke on retiring former Kansas City Wizards defender, Jimmy Conrad, there
was a roast done on Twitter using the hash tag, #JimmyConradRoast. Plenty of people got in on the
roasting, including current and former players like Kei Kamara and Alecko Eskandarian (see some of
the highlights here).
Once again Kansas City gave up a first half goal, and once again the Wizards waited until late to
pull out an equalizer and salvage their unbeaten run and a point, tying the New England Revolution
1-1 last night. It makes the 4th time in the past 5 league games (and 5th in the last 7) that KC
has allowed the first goal early and had to fight back to get a draw.
The starting right center back for the Rapids All-Time Team is
Peter Vermes. Alas I could
not find a picture of him in a Rapids kit, so I went with the U.S. kit instead.
How Acquired: Traded Kerry Zavagnin to the NY/NJ Metrostars for him.
Years In Colorado: 1997 through 1999
How Departed: Traded to KC along with Matt McKeon for Scott Vermillion and an allocation.
With flying out to LA and everything, the stats this week were a little delayed, but here are you
post game stats for the team.
In the 40th minute, Davy Arnaud hit the 20,000 minute mark in all competitions for KC. He's the 5th
Wizards player to hit that mark after Kerry Zavagnin, Nick Garcia, Preki, and Jimmy Conrad.
I realized today that I hadn't updated one of my stats this offseason, and since I've been having
some writers block when it came to writing about Houston's move East and the roster rules, I
figured maybe this would break me out of it. Davy Arnaud is 3 games away from the 200 game mark and
should easily hit that this season.
Continuing to update my offseason stat information here on the blog. This time I'm updating the
10,000 minute club for the Wizards/Sporting KC. For league minutes, there was a new player added to
the list, as Josh Wolff hit the 10,000 minute mark in league play, becoming the 11th Wizards player
to hit that mark.
