There are times in the life of the average non-league fan when he wonders if he is really and truly
sane. I had such a moment Saturday as I watched Bath City defeat Chelmsford City 1-0. I was
standing on the Bristol End terrace at Twerton Park in pelting rain and howling wind. I was cold
and wet and tired.

FC Boro 17 November @ 07:43 PM EST
If you missed the first game against Port Vale, well tonight was more or less the same, but
without the dramatic injury time equaliser. Boro again were the better side for the majority of
the game, but failed to convert their chances and ended up losing the game due to an error by
captain Mark Roberts.

Well Mark Schwarzer made our luck, even saving the 14th minute penalty to be beaten on the rebound.
Bad luck to Rhys Williams being forced into a foul to give the penalty. But otherwise Oman botched
4 or so goals - just played too fast for their skill level. Criag Moore was lucky not to have given
away a second half hand ball penalty.

Steven Gerrard's hotly-disputed second-half penalty rescued a point for Liverpool but did little to
lift the pressure on boss Rafael Benitez.
It is just one win now in nine matches for the Reds and they must be grateful for the two-week
international break which will allow the dust to settle on their faltering season.

Thomas Sorensen saved Jimmy Bullard's initial effort but was unable to prevent Jan Vennegoor of
Hesselink from burying the rebound. Hull City beat Stoke City 2-1.

EPL Talk 08 November @ 10:42 AM EST
It wasn't the prettiest of games, but it was enjoyable to watch. Reminiscent of old-style
English football with plenty of balls kicked high and long, Hull City pulled off a last gasp winner
to beat Stoke City 2-1 and to give manager Phil Brown a chance of remaining as manager of the
Tigers just for a little longer, perhaps.

to get a goal. Alex Shinsky put a rebound through the legs of Malawi keeper Cuthbert Seengwa for
the game winner.

Taken from the game guide pdfs on MLSnet. They appear each week, and also in the playoffs. For the
non-playoff teams who played each other last week (NY-TOR, KC-DC), I've added in the stats
myself.
I'll say it again: MLS should really promote these stats as they are very detailed and interesting
and just get buried in the game guides.

It's bad enough we have had a horrible season. It's bad enough that we played basically the same
lineup that has given us little to cheer about throughout the season (with Zusi and Zoltan being
the exceptions). Saturday we decided to give the Sounders some help by giving away 3 goals on big
mistakes.

It took a lot longer than I think many people expected it to, but the Wizards are now officially
eliminated from the playoff race. The Wizards were eliminated before they even took the field
against Seattle after Toronto's win over Salt Lake yesterday. Still it wouldn't have mattered, as
the Wizards blew another lead and once again lost at home, this time to Seattle, 3-2 last night.

Well, 3 more points, and we're back into the top 4, with 18 points from 8 games. And
functionally, you could make the argument that we're in 2nd place, since we're only 3 points behind
2nd place Chelsea, with a home match against Bolton in hand, and a goal differential advantage over
the Blues (and everyone else in the Premiership, for that matter).

draw with Costa Rica on a rainy night at RFK Stadium.

It wasn't the prettiest match in football history, nor was it supposed to be. Brazil had already
qualified and Venezuela had almost no chances of qualifying (unless they beat Brazil 6-0 and
Argentina beat Uruguay 9-0!), so it was what it was. Dunga did some experimenting and some things
are definitely clear: Robinho should never come back, neither should Filipe Luiz, who plays
anything but good football.

It'll take a full on miracle, but some how the Wizards are still alive in the race to get into the
playoffs, but after last night's performance in LA, those hopes are basically gone. Needing a win,
KC laid an egg and lost 2-0 to Chivas USA. On a night when Columbus even gave KC a helping hand by
defeating New England (that win is what is keeping the Wizards faint playoff hopes alive).
