Dwyer helped adiZero (blue) to a 3-1 win over Prime (green) on Tuesday morning, scoring an insurance goal in the 52nd minute of the game when he pounced on a rebound and knocked the ball into the back of the net.

For the fifth in our Hopeless Teams series, we delve back relatively recently into the past by welcoming Richard Bellis. Richard co-runs Richard and Neil's Football Blog with his brother Neil and was the proud recipient of a nomination in the recent NOPA football blogging awards run by Picklive. 201i, however, largely saw Richard and Neil occupy themselves with the production and dissemination of The Blue & White Fanzine, a new print publication mainly devoted to the reformed Chester FC: a luscious object designed by our own Michael Kinlan and featuring contributions from TTUers William Abbs and myself.

Shana, Kirsten, and Amanda start this week's show with a preview of the MLS wild card and playoff games, and some Houston v. Philly trash talk for good measure. Amanda has a funny feeling about Seattle, and once again, you may not want to listen if you support DC or NY. Sorry! In the second segment, they discuss World Cup rights moving to Fox from 2015 on, what that could mean for the WNT and youth national teams, and shudder at the prospect of Eric Wynalda trying to plug The X-Factor.

At last! Claude Puel having finally received his letter of dismissal, will probably move south, to Spain... or wherever. What matters now is that the club finally announce today what had been rumoured for several weeks now : Rémi Garde is our new coach.

With this nomination, the club will now be able to fully devote themselves to the reconstruction of a squad that should be amputated by some of their best elements : Jeremy Toulalan being gone, the likes of Bastos, Cissokho, possibly Kallström, Ederson and pretty much anyone who's not deemed absolutely untransferable.

Mr.

What a game!
Five goals, three reds, an imperious performance by Shafiq Ghani culminating in two goals, the second hotly contested by Geylang players who carried the protest on after the game, the on-looking Pele and Eric Cantona must have wondered why half the stadium was empty.
