The Italian fans of AC Savoia know how to support their team
AC Savoia play 5 leagues below Serie A, but they don't care one bit do they? In an age where the
ever-prominent feeling of entitlement seeps into modern football, I say bravo Savoia!

According to reports Tom Adeyemi who plays for Oldham, on loan from Norwich City, was racially
abused by one or more Liverpool fans at the Anfield ground last night. He gave a statement to
Merseyside Police in which it is understood he claimed to have been racially abused twice by a
supporter.

Turning a Blind Eye
Don McMahon
FIFA,EUFA, Some officials and some Turkish fans are racists, at least based on what I saw
happening to Eboue in a Galatasary match recently.
Updated my list of MLS Supporters Club....true I left some off, so if you know any that I'm not
reppin' please let me know.
Thankful list:
1. The FIRE will have one more fan next year (my newborn son or daughter).
2. The league finally got it's Beckham Cup. After all, they had to deal with quite a bit of hubris
to get to that point.
Bored and Annoyed in Times of International Football
By Gooneraside
Yes, like many of you, I'm bored with this absence of real football. And I'm annoyed, but, I
suspect, no more annoyed than most of you.
Right now, just when we, The Arsenal, are in the middle of one terrific run of results, [.
Dear Tony
I have been a reader of your blog for a long time now and if you have an elephant's memory, you
may remember having seen a comment or two from a person who calls himself 'La Shiz'. That person
happens to be me. Even though I don't contribute to the comments of your [...]
Remember Afroman's "Because I Got High"? Much like Alanis Morrisette's "You Outta Know" it was one
of those rare late 90s/early 2000s pop songs that managed to sneak a blatant oral sex reference
onto America's most mom-approved radio stations. Subsequently, many of us experienced that awkward
moment where you are in a small confined space (i.

I do like to keep the occasional eye on French football, particularly our loan player, ex-player
and indeed the surrogate Man City that Paris St Germain has become.

...... Making the Arsenal ...... Arsenal Uncovered ...... Arsenal History Society By Tony Attwood
On Tuesday 6th September Mike Dye was at Wembley to watch an international game. Following an
incident which is now the subject of a police investigation he died.
Gooners versus goners Don McMahon Every true Arsenal fan or supporter is known as a Gooner. The
origin of this nickname is claimed to lie in the adaptation of the term used for AFC's players, the
Gunners-referring to our artillery badge. However there are now a new group of Arsenal aficionados
who I shall term [.
Untold Arsenal on Twitter @UntoldArsenal By Phil Gregory With Cesc gone, Nasri uncertain and
rumblings of discontent in the stands during the Newcastle game there's plenty to be talking about
in this article. So much in fact, that I planned on writing a whole separate piece on the aftermath
of the Toon game until work [.
Untold Arsenal on Twitter @UntoldArsenal By Walter Broeckx With the start of the new season we are
once again facing a lot of problems. But we are not alone in this. But as we focus on Arsenal we
don't really bother the problems other clubs have. Because Cesc and Nasri are not the only ones

Ian's piece brought a number of the employees of the Ministry of Disinformation onto our site.
and I though I would look for a moment at how they are working, what their current message is, and
most challenging who is employing them. In doing this I am returning to a couple of pieces posted
by [...
By Walter Broeckx The picture painted by the English media of Arsenal being a club in total
disaster and downfall is something that is not really recognisable in Europe. And certainly it
isn't in those parts where they don't pay any attention to what the English gutter and phone
hacking press are saying.

The 2011 Kicking and Screening Soccer Film Festival beings July 20th and several high-profile
flicks will make their world and/or New York premiere (which we authored a drinking guide for), but
the one movie that really caught our eye is "Sivan".
"Sivan" is a documentary short shown on the festival's opening night.
Untold Arsenal. The History Index The story of the last time something odd went on By Walter
Broeckx A lot of the criticism that is aimed at Arsenal and Wenger is about project youth. Some
of the fans have been saying that project youth has failed because we didn't win anything in the
last 6 [...]

What's more amazing here: the fact that an MLS supporters group was an answer on Jeopardy or the
fact that a guy that looks like an extra from The Young Ones actually knew the answer? My how MLS
has changed.
"Hate is not the opposite of love; apathy is."- Rollo May
For the first few years of Toronto FC's existence, the club, so desperate for a positive spin,
dined out on the media propelled designation that BMO Field had "
the best fans in the
league". Boisterous, loud and loyal, the supporters were the only thing worth putting on a
billboard to promote a club so bereft of quality on the pitch.
"I ain't afraid of no Bruce."
Roof goes here.Ask Toronto FC supporters what is wrong with the failing, and
seemingly flailing, club right now and many will give an arms-length list of problems dressed in
red kits or holding clipboards. In a season where on-field successes have been few and far between,
it is hard to fault the average member of BMO Field's faithful for pointing at the pitch and
screaming in exasperated frustration.
This isn't a judgment, just a statement: there is a lot of face-painting and headwear going on in
Seattle these days. I never noticed before but there's some serious SoccerCon™ sh*t going on up
there; it's like a KISS show where the climax of Gene Simmons' fire-eating has been replaced by a
Jeff Parke stoppage time goal.
Another thing I don't have much to say about but that's because it really speaks for itself. Bravo
ECS, y'all took it to another level...but where do you go from here?
By Tony Attwood It was surprising (to me at least, but perhaps not to anyone else) to hear the
chant of "Six percent you're having a laugh" ring round the Ems in the second half of the Villa
game. It was of course not the first time there have been negative comments and chants at [...]
As mentioned the other day, Seattle-based energy drink slingers Golazo have commissioned a short,
short film centered on MLS fans & supporters entitled Walk Among Us. It's attractive stuff full of
color, noise and (appropriately) energy. If you have 5 minutes to spare before tonight's big match
give it a click; hopefully the nation sees this kind of passion tonight on ESPN2.
I won't give away the whole jawn here but Dropping Timber have a 30 minute + documentary from
Portland's home opener. You should watch it. Unless you are sick to death of Portland, which I hear
some people are, or you're Sounders 'til you die (or at least until you switch allegiances because
the company moved you to Toledo and the Crew are the closest team).
There is another way. Welcome friends to the Inaugural Meeting of the Tottenham Hotspur
International Neutrals Group (THING) Many of you will have been true devoted supporters of
Tottenham Hotspur for many years but are finding the strain on your nerves too debilitating to

A moment's reflection on life, politics, bias, blogs, commentary, motoring, tackling, football and
the Daily Mail By Tony Attwood Every now and then Arsène Wenger speaks out on the tackles that
Arsenal players suffer, and saying they should not be allowed in the game. Diaby, Eduardo,
Ramsey are examples that we all know.

The Real achievement at the Lane By Ian Trevett It hasn't been much fun reading some of the posts
on less supportive Arsenal sites this week, with lots of vitriol aimed at the boss and various
players. However, there was a short post on Arsenal Insider that really took my eye. It went along

By Walter Broeckx Losing to United is not a pleasant thing. I don't like it. Losing to Barcelona,
and certainly the way the ref threw a shadow over the second game is very frustrating. I don't like
it at all. But do we have to throw all and everyone over board? Let me just give [...]
So I'm sat in the Las Vegas airport awaiting my delayed flight home. The AO Rally was cool and if
you want to hear about that go check out the day job. Met some cool people and hope to hook up with
a few of them at the U.S.-Argentina match later in the month.
Now I hate to be so brief but I'm off to the Chili's-to-Go in Terminal D before I board because
after 2 nights of gambling, drink, bad food and good times it's closing time.
