Big Sam Avoided His Players

Premiership Talk Blog 28 October @ 04:18 PM EST

In the wake of the controversial anti-spitting campaigns targeting the swine flu, Blackburn assistant manager Neil MacDonald revealed that Rovers boss Sam Allardyce kept his distance from his flu-struck squad. Big Sam himself was not feeling too well, and opted to remain in the stands during Tuesday night's Blackburn match to eliminate the chances of infecting more players.

Old McDonald Had a Farm……

Avenell Road 20 October @ 10:27 AM EST

Ok, so he is not called McDonald but he is Ronald, and after tonight, he will wish he had a farm

So three years ago, the Mighty Arsenal travelled to the Netherlands to play AZ Alkmaar in a ‘show off game' to mark the opening of the DSB Stadium. Three years have now gone by and tonight we play them again in what will be their UEFA Champions League debut season.

Berbatov is…The Continental

Dirty Tackle 19 October @ 05:26 AM EST

Well hello there.

I see you've caught me staring at the back of the head of a child. I now have a new child of my own, you know. ... No I didn't steal it from a McDonald's, nor am I pretending a doll is a real baby again. One of my Berba-beauties actually gave birth to my Berba-baby.

Chivas USA 1 Earthquakes 1

San Jose have pulled level after 21 minutes, former Galaxy defender Brandon McDonald heading home a Shea Salinas cross from close range, splitting two Chivas USA defenders in the process. A free kick on the right wing started the move.

Gino Padula is awesome

The Fake Sigi Schmid Blog 15 October @ 07:39 PM EST
One goal and all of a sudden journalists find out he's a great interview. Sean Michelle:
"(Conor) Casey should be worried," [Padula] said jokingly. "We have two games left. I can score eight (in one) and eight (in the other)."
Casey, a striker for Colorado, leads MLS with 17 goals.

Ancelotti not a fan of rap

Dirty Tackle 22 September @ 12:42 PM EST

In Henry Winter's excellent piece on Carlo Ancelotti for the the Telegraph today, there is plenty of insight into the man who has Chelsea atop the table with a perfect record and finally moving on from Jose Mourinho's legacy, and that's all fine and good, but if you've ever wondered to yourself what Carlo Ancelotti thinks about Florent Malouda and John Obi Mikel's taste in music, you've finally got an answer:

"I am used to players who are very focused so when I came to England it was a big surprise because in our dressing room there is music.

The Ultimate 11’s – Dundee United

OK Football Finder 21 September @ 01:00 AM EST

This week's Ultimate 11's is Iain McDonald's Dundee United. Now I'll level with you, I'm no fan of the Scottish game, but Scotchland have given me some cracking moments over the years, David Narey's stunnning goal againt the mighty Brazil in World Cup 1982, they eventually lost 4-1 which gave me even more joy.

Triskaidekaphobia strikes!

Dirty Tackle 16 September @ 11:24 PM EST

No, triskaidekaphobia isn't a fear of Greek appetizers, it's actually the fear of the dreaded unlucky No. 13 something defender Kris Lindsay of Irish club Linfield is discovering first hand.

Since joining Linfield in 2006 and making the doomed decision to go with the 13 shirt, Lindsay has suffered six different injuries all of which have been unrelated to each other ("a knee injury, a hamstring niggle, a neck muscle spasm, calf strain, a broken bone in his hand, concussion and then he needed stitches after a clash of heads during Saturday's clash with former club Portadown").

Transfer deadline thoughts

Bitter and Blue 01 September @ 04:22 PM EST
Usually if you are stuck at work on deadline day it can be an immensely frustrating time without Sky Sports News to keep you upto speed on the latest news, rumours and deals. Today however, if you missed the deadline coverage, consider yourself fortunate indeed.
Today, especially with the deadline being 5pm, transfer deadline day was as damp a squib as the Twenty20 games at Old Trafford. Click to continue reading...

The Offside - Houston 10 August @ 05:17 PM EST

I haven't had much time to write lately. Actually, I have had time but haven't felt like writing. But here I am now so don't give me any crap.

The Dynamo had two games the past few days and managed 3 points with a victory over the Chicago Fire. They did their best to blow a halftime lead but narrowly managed to avoid disaster.

Well, that took longer than I expected

HexagonalBlog 13 July @ 09:27 PM EST
When I moved from one residence to another two weeks ago, I thought I would be able to get my internet connection up and running in short order. Unfortunately, I had to move during a holiday weekend, so that pushed the connection date back even further. So I was stuck with net access at work and WiFi connections at McDonald's.

McDonald

A seat at the A-League 12 July @ 05:46 AM EST
McDonald didn't look like scoring. I would be surprised if he makes it to the World Cup. At best he is jinxed from scoring in Australia. He got taken off 3/4 into the game. Click to continue reading...

Â The Quakes are up against the Stormin' Mormons tonight (RSL), and need to start picking up some results on the road if we're going to get anything out of this season.

Take the Kids to See the Sol Clinch the WPS Championship a Week From Today at High Noon

100 Percent Soccer 01 July @ 09:59 AM EST

It could happen, although it will take a combination of results from other games this weekend.

Perhaps more interesting is the Sol gamble about the timing of its final regular season game: essentially the club is betting it will draw more kids looking for something to do now school is out at noon on a summer Wednesday after a holiday weekend than fans at a midweek evening game.

Friendly Skies for RSL

Against The Run Of Play 13 June @ 10:26 PM EST
Further evidence that soccer is slowly (very slowly) creeping into the mainstream is the Real Salt Lake (MLS) - Jet Blue sponsor deal. As part of Jet Blue's partnership with RSL, they have given one of their jets a RSL livery.
This is exactly the kind of exposure that soccer needs in the United States. Click to continue reading...

Dear King Franco FC Fans,
Have you ever wondered what it was like to have a media liability on your squad? Well wonder no more! Because thanks to 80 million banknotes soon to be sent Manchester's way, you now have one. I was reading some soccer related articles, when I was sent these photos from a celebrity gossip site.

Socceroos 2 v Bahrain 0 - showboat

A seat at the A-League 10 June @ 07:11 AM EST
Again it was Kewell who stood out as the player of the match. This time he created a goal for Mile S.
Holman had his chance with Kennedy injured. But neither he nor McDonald looked like scoring. It was the midfield that excelled. Puncuated by Mile and David Carney's - both from the lower English division - and by Jason Culina's bicycle kick into the side post (to set-up Carney's poach). Click to continue reading...
