Chain Saw Massacre

For Girls Who Can't Do Football 25 October @ 02:00 PM EST
There we were.
My lover and I.
In our matching navy blue overalls, standing in our shed surrounded by piles of wood, some cut some not, and a small portable radio.
We listened as Liverpool and the ManUre lined up to face each other.
We looked at each other across the workbench. Click to continue reading...

‘I’m Not As Think As You Drunk I Am.’

pavlyuchenko's vodka bottle 22 October @ 07:15 PM EST

5ive's return to the london club scene was perhaps too much of an incentive for pete.

A couple of headlines have arisen since my last post; both of which would seem to proliferate the idea that our squad (and the wider representation of our club in the mainstream) would be top of the league for competitive drinking.

Happy Xmas

LadyArse - Arsenal and the world of football from a woman's perspective @ OleOl 22 October @ 08:27 AM EST

I wasn't going to do a blog today, I am in stinking form which I know is the height of bad manners on this, the birthday of Arsenal's saviour. I'd go into why I'm in bad form but then that would probably just make my mood worse, so let's crack on and see where this ends up. If you're feeling suicidal in anyway, I'd suggest reading something else.

Arsenal’s Andrei Arshavin loves London but is baffled by customs

Sanford's Soccer Net 19 October @ 09:57 AM EST
Meet the tough little forward whose foot was sliced open yet he carried on, even scoring as the blood seeped out.
"But the lifestyle is very difficult for me. There are a lot of rules I don't understand. In Russia, you can break any rule. Here you can't break rules.''

Ramsey wants/needs games. But where does he play & when? & Coquelin’s ambition

Gunners Today 15 October @ 11:37 AM EST

One of the things I hate about people, life if you may, is when promises are broken. If you can't keep 'em, don't make 'em! I once told my friend I'd visit him when he was living in a different city. But due to one thing or another, I never got around to it.

If we are to believe what Ramsey has said recently, Wenger is looking to start him in 15-20 games this year.

Audio: Roche's big adventure [Bryan Namoff]

Behind the Badge 30 June @ 02:17 PM EST

You're all familiar with DC101's DJ-extraordinaire Roche (3-7 p.m. every day on 101.1!). What you may or may not know, is he is a big soccer guy and a D.C. United supporter through and through.

Roche approached me several weeks ago about his desire to do a podcast with United and MLS guys, but he didn't want it to be your run of the mill soccer podcast.

Teddy: Don’t Expect Berb To Run Like Rooney Or Tevez

Republik Of Mancunia 03 June @ 07:26 AM EST

Teddy Sheringham has jumped to the defence of Dimitar Berbatov following the criticism he has received in the press.

14 goals and 10 assists isn't bad going for a player in his first season at a club, particularly considering he didn't have a pre-season, he came with massive pressure, and he had to make the adjustment from playing with Spurs' players to playing with United's.

When will Sunderland's Djibril Cisse horribly mangle his leg next?

The Cynical Tackler 19 May @ 12:12 PM EST
Nothing against the erstwhile hairstylist, indeed I enjoy his electrifying pace, skill on the ball, and knack for the goal (such as this classy finish in the epic 2006 FA Cup Final). From Auxerre to Liverpool to Marseille, and on to Sunderland on loan, he's been no stranger to gaudy statistics to pair up with his high octane lifestyle -- movie "star", lap dancing controversies, pregnant wife Click to continue reading...

World Cup 2018: The expenses scandal gives the BNP a boost

Soccerblog 19 May @ 02:55 AM EST

Richard Caborn maybe embarrassed that a BNP member was allowed to attend the opening of the World Cup bid. A jarring note, potentially undermining a major selling point: England's inclusiveness.

However it is the expenses scandal rocking England that is proving a major embarrassment for the Labour party.

Fares Please

Jakarta Casual 08 September @ 07:37 PM EST
Tonight sees Persita play Persijap in the ISL. Normally for an away game like this the clubs would fly, in this case to Semarang.
But times are tough for the cash strapped club from Tangerang so they have taken the bus for the gruelling journey. Gruelling not because it's far, Semarang is perhaps a 45 minute flight. Click to continue reading...

Beckham's life to become a musical

It's so crazy, it has to be true. Man who came up with this?
"His rise from obscurity to international stardom, his universally acknowledged gifts as a supreme sportsman, and his Hollywood lifestyle all have the elements of an aspirational fable," librettist Mark Archer told the U.K.'s Daily Telegraph.

PICTURES: First smoking, now tattoos - What has marriage done to Wayne?

Republik Of Mancunia 08 July @ 11:45 AM EST
Wayne Rooney married his childhood sweetheart, Colleen, this summer, on the back of a brilliant season for United. Whilst this is probably a positive thing for his career, meaning he will be even less drawn to the partying lifestyle that comes with being a young, single, successful footballer, it has coincided with less favourable decisions.

The Sports Bog is Pure Class

The Far Post 10 August @ 10:22 AM EST

Agent Steinz is pure class. I didn't even get a chance to properly say "Hello" and he still gives me a shout out in the Bog. (I have lots of social anxiety and that place was freakin' me out with all the people that were MUCH prettier - and taller - than me!) I saw him chatting up Stat Boy, The Management, and Comcast's SportsNet's Michael Jenkins and didn't want to interrupt.
