The Calm Before The Storm

It's the morning of The Eternal Derby in Belgrade. Before living and breathing that dream fixture, Ken Morton and friends took in a match in relatively serene surroundings...
The Luton Ibis is far from glamorous but the prospect of a big European derby made it slightly easier to rise from my slumber.

The Belgrade derby has some, shall we say, "behavioral issues" which require constant considerations. How best to combat a problem of lighting the stands on fire whilst also throwing Molotov seat cocktails?

A ring of fire, flares, fireworks, tear-gas, an ambush.... welcome to one of the maddest places in the world to watch football, Thessaloniki. Fasten your seat belts as Graham Kenworthy takes us on an exhilarating ride.

Some time ago, a friend and I were discussing youth power in football and how an academy brings out talent time and again. I thought this would be an interesting topic to write on though it has been thrown around quite a bit in the blogosphere already.

The Philadelphia Union have brought in former Serbian international striker Veljko Paunovic on trial. In a rare show of transparency, the Union openly announced the name of the 34-year-old at today's Reserve League match against DC United, the first time during the 2011 season that head coach Piotr Nowak has let one of his possible discovery claims be known to the public.

Times are tough for Preki & Mo... er... Lennie and George
With a couple of good preseason results against quality Belgrade sides Partizan and Red Star out of the way, Toronto FC started to look ahead to the next few chapters of training camp. With announcements both on and off the pitch today, Aron Winter and Paul Mariner (or Team WinNer!

Its been 5 months since I last wrote here, and a lot has happened in this period.
Arsenal, for the first time in a long, long time, in January, is still in with a good chance in all 4 competitions.
The English Premier League - We are in with a decent chance, we are just a few points behind Manchester United, with plenty of games yet to be played.

My old drinking partner from civil war days at the Casa Grande Hotel in Sarajevo, the journo Stojko Milutinovic a huge fan of United since seeing them play in Belgrade in 1966 as a little lad has been emailing me for weeks explaining why the Gaffer should buy René Adler instead of Manuel Neuer. On Monday, however, Stojko had a new subject.
