Sheep in Wolfish Attire

Who Framed Ruel Fox? 13 December @ 01:47 PM EDT

I despair. I really do.

Hopefully this fiasco and resultant stumble out of the top four will serve well as a reminder that there's still plenty of work to do yet. Like Spurs, I've been guilty in the last couple of weeks of being a soft touch; throwing away two goal leads on Merseyside, allowing Villa to escape with a point, both sugar-coated by yours truly as lessons learnt and some kind of progress made.

Life kinda sucks for Maradona

Dirty Tackle 18 September @ 03:59 PM EDT

Even putting troubles related for his failures as Argentina's coach aside, Maradona really isn't doing so great at the moment. For one, he's checked himself into a clinic in order to lose weight (this, of course, after he's already had gastric bypass surgery). And as if that weren't demoralizing enough, for some reason he did so in Northern Italy where the finance police eagerly await his return like your dog waits for you to come home.
