Ha! Tim Ream's wife Kristen should know by now American soccer nuts are a skittish type.Here's the just-confirmed skinny: All agreements are in place for the move to Bolton. The frustration Mrs. Ream had yesterday was in regards to rescheduling her hubbie's UK work permit hearing. It would seem that Wanderers are trying to get approval before announcing anything.

Roberto Mancini is dead nuts on getting the oppositions players sent-off!
Two weeks ago Mancini was looking for Martin Skrtel to be dismissed after a clumsy tackle on Yaya Toure in City's 3-0 win over Liverpool in the League, he then wanted Glenn Johnson red carded for his two-footed tackle on Johnson in Liverpool's 1-0 win in the Carling Cup semi-final first leg at the Etihad and last night he wanted Wigan's Maynor Figueroa for a hand-ball on thew half way line and although they may all have warranted a red card, Mancini's attitude towards red card offences seem's hypocrytical to say the least.

Along with the usual slate of comparing winter beards of the male attendees and electing a new board of directors we have lots of planning to do.

One schoolboy had his moment of glory during a kickabout with John Terry when he volleyed the ball at the England captain's nuts. The ball sat up nicely to present the youngster with a chance that many people up and down the country would relish. The Chelsea man clearly felt the impact, although he was [.

While English observers are foaming at the mouth Homer Simpson-style over the Liverpool v Manchester United clash drawn in the FA Cup fourth round.All us Ameri-nuts, however, get the tingle from a different tourney match-up set for the end of the month: Everton v Fulham, otherwise known in our bubble as the first ever EPL edition of Landon v Deuce.

When doing research on U.S. midfielder Jeff Larentowicz, we kept coming across the nickname 'Ginger Ninja" written in stories here in the United States. It even followed him abroad when he went to train with Bolton.
So where did the comic-book, action-hero type nickname come from?
"Back in 2007, I scored a goal against the Chicago Fire," Larentowicz recounted.

Any defender will tell you there is nothing worse than being Nutz'd durind a game, but when it happen's twice in the same attack it's embarrassing. But I'm sure had this happened further up the field Dieguito may have being counting his nuts!

I think we all had a feeling, for better or worse, that Gary Cahill was going to be a Chelsea player come January after seeing Owen Coyle's comments last week. Now, we have some concrete information from Andre Villas-Boas that the club is indeed pursuing the English defender.

Only a matter time until this is closed then?

So if there is one thing I learned last night at the end-of-year Alliance "Business" meeting it is that it apparently takes two years for adidas to scour the globe to look for the most hideous color combinations of highlighter shades to use in our 3rd kits... well, that and the fact that the Sounder training staff doesn't give "happy endings" and Drew Carey likes pain killers (but who doesn't?

Got, Not Got: The Damned United were cuddly, fun-loving jokers Shocking Picture Proof!

It's been labelled ‘football porn' for ‘nostalgia junkies', and ‘a major contribution to football history'. 'Got, Not Got' is this year's must-have football nostalgia book.

Taylor Twellman has had an incredible soccer journey. His scoring accolades served him well in college and led him to what proved to be a remarkable professional career that was cut short due to injury. Soccer fans are now finding him to be a real personality in the world of broadcasting. Putting in time with the Philadelphia Union and finding roles with ESPN has shown the soccer world something that is often lost in broadcasting: a candid, educated approach that brings honesty to the table.

Golden Ball anyone? 3four3 will be looking to hand out some hardware to the nations best college player.

I've seen numerous lists of top college players/pro prospects in the last few weeks and quite frankly they've made me laugh. The same robotic big athletic players are being hyped up and called the nations top players.

There's something sort of peaceful and calm in Jorge Perlaza's voice, the sound of a man who's pretty happy with his life these days.

The 26-year-old forward from Colombia has made himself a home in Portland.

Amanda, Shana, and Rachna start this week's show with a look at the MNT roster for the upcoming Costa Rica and Belgium friendlies. They are relieved to find Fabian Johnson on the list instead of Eddie Johnson, and welcome the return of Jose Francisco Torres, Jozy Altidore, and the Huntington Beach Bromance that is Robbie Rogers and Sacha Kljestan.

Lucy Pinder (27) is a glamour model who has featured in lad's Mag's such as Loaded, Maxim, Nuts and Zoo to name but a few.

In 2005 Lucy appeared on Sky Sports as a Soccerette on Soccer AM, wearing a Southampton jersey. Lucy is also an ambassador for Kick For Life, a charity which uses soccer to fight poverty and disease in developing Countries.

Adeus Denilson. Ta-da for now (though I am prepared to wager that the ‘for now' part will become ‘for good').

Denilson's departure reminded me that this summer was as much about clearing out some deadwood as it was about bringing in some alivewood [find a new word - Ed]. He's the first of the exclusive gang to go though who is in that gang is subjective and ebbs and flows accordingly.

One of the daftest derbies around. I always thought calling Melbourne Croatia v Sydney Croatia or Melita Eagles v Sunshine GC derbies was nuts; the tenuous link is not geographical but ancestral.
In Singapore, every bloody game is a derby unless it's something like Tampines Rovers travelling to Woodlands.

Part 1.

Home Crowd – When, oh when, will they learn just how important it is for our players to have their supporters fully behind them? Our home crowd seem to be stuck in the thinking that the team needs to entertain them in order for them to show their real support, whereas I believe that if they gave unabashed support throughout the game then maybe the team would react positively instead of reacting negatively to the silence followed by moans and groans and boos.

Sometimes La Liga can drive you nuts. It's difficult to imagine any other country on earth putting on its entire league programme at 9pm on a Sunday, but as the old refrain goes, Spain is different. Football's a family game? Pull the other one. Match over by 11pm, kids tucked up in bed around midnight if you've been to the stadium, all well prepared for school on the Monday.

Good afternoon! It's a rainy one here in Red Bulls Land and our team is back in League action @The Cathedral of Football. It's a not very common Sunday game, with a not very common Sunday start time, against west coast juggernaut Chivas USA (7pm et, MSG+ & Galavision).

They win a lot... but never by a majority (UPDATE: Nuts)
Since there's no other news today (what's an Osama Jack Layton?) we thought we'd use our spy skills to infiltrate the hiding place of some secret information. With Toronto FC's NutCan semi-final against FC Edmonton seeming like a foregone conclusion (unless Dan Gargan starts) we thought we would look into the founding of Canada's newest pro club.

Well, that was nice, wasn't it? Does it make up for the collapse we've had since the end of February? No, certainly not. Did it revive any hopes of winning a trophy for us this season? Certainly not. But does it feel great to throw a wrench in United's title parade, beat them for the first time in years, and watch them walk off the Emirates pitch as losers?

The first pre-season game out of Florida was streamed on the TFC website last night and it was a treat to be watching TFC 2011, Coach Winter rebuild version. The game ended with a Toronto FC loss, final score 3-2 for the Houston Dynamo.
The first half was the enjoyable one. Toronto scored twice, Peterson and Dero, but Houston scored twice too.

With the Philadelphia Union. Interesting choice of forward by Coach Peter Nowak, not exactly renowned as the tolerant type especially given that Ruiz has played for three different clubs in three years.

How he will work with the party-loving Carlos Ruiz, seen at right playing for Greek side Aris Salonika last September against Athletico Madrid, who used to drive former Galaxy coach Sigi Schmid nuts when he played here, remains to be seen.

You might remember that when we beat Inter Milan 3-1 earlier this season, that a video was soon doing the rounds, featuring the hysterical reaction to the defeat, from the Italian version of Sky's Soccer Saturday.

The video featured a fanatical Inter supporter going nuts, as his team capitulated.

Tonight's game will be a war of attrition, but a beautiful one. Arsenal have the stronger defence, Barcelona have the strongest midfield and attacking trio but that is only because they have Lionel Messi.

I have been accused of having a lack of respect for Barcelona, and that is true, I have no respect for them at all.

Angry headcase nuts elderly bloke AC Milan failed to overcome Tottenham at the San Siro last night, but they did manage to overshadow them thanks to Gennaro Gattuso. The midfield hardman initially picked a fight with Spurs assistant Joe Jordan during the match when he appeared to push Jordan in the face.

I'm not at all ashamed to admit that I was extremely nervous last night. The first thing I had written on finding out that we had to face Ipswich in the semis was ‘Please don't knock us out with a jammy away goal, Tractor Boys' and it wasn't written entirely in jest. If there was any team who could get beaten over two legs by a Championship side after all the other big teams had already been knocked out of the competition, it was us.

Lineups are . . . well, not in just yet.

But Sairax is away this afternoon due to a family emergency, and I've got a client meeting and some negotiations that will probably stretch all afternoon, so no one will be around to post the lineups when they do come in.

One of us will hopefully be able to provide a match recap at some point, but if and when it does happen, it will happen quite late, so I wouldn't wait around for it to pop up (and yes, I know, I sound like a proper asshole, assuming you all have nothing better to do than constantly refreshing this site to see what inane bullcrap Sairax and I will have to say about men kicking a little ball thousands of miles away but indulge me in the fantasy that this is in any way important) this afternoon or evening.

Serial shit-stirrer Johan Cruyff says Barcelona would be nuts not to consider selling Dani Alves to Manchester City.

Alves is contracted at Barca until the summer of 2012 but is stalling on a contract extension as Barca refuse to meet his hefty wage demands.
