Night of reckoning for Rafa

Premiership Talk Blog 04 November @ 01:05 PM EST

Tonight Rafa Benitez is on the managerial tightrope when his side faces Lyon in the Champions League. Liverpool have to win, if Fiorentina and Lyon win then Liverpool can say goodbye to major silverware this season and Benitez can probably say goodbye to his job.

Benitez's side is decimated by injuries and an awful lot of responsibility is on the shoulders of Fernando Torres tonight if he plays.

Fulham 0-Arsenal 1: Live From London, It’s the Vito Mannone Show

The Offside - Arsenal 26 September @ 02:36 PM EST

Well, it's 3 points, right? It wasn't the best performance by any means. But we got the win after so many times saying "we were the better team but still lost," I'm much happier when the opposite is true. And as I discussed in the preview yesterday, it's very, very tough to go to Craven Cottage and come out with 3 points.

When Will See Your Like Again

The Scottish Football Blog 09 September @ 09:55 AM EST
Can we look forward in anything other than trepidation?The all conquering Dutch stand between Scotland and a place in the play off. Except they don't really. We know three points is a must but even then it might not be enough. What a classically Scottish story that would be.Can we do it? Well, yes we can. Click to continue reading...

Le Nouveau Roi de Lyon

The Offside - Olympique Lyonnais 25 August @ 09:19 PM EST

He's already got the abs, the pointy beard, and the move-bitch-get-outta-my-way attitude. He just needs a sword (and a leather loincloth), and then he'll be all set for world domination.

REPORT: Another Cup Final At RFK for DC As United Defeats Rochester - Coach Tom Soehn Speaks On Perfomance, Injuries

MLS Rumors 22 July @ 02:44 AM EST
After a spirited and hard fought game with some injuries United move on to their second US Open Cup final at RFK Stadium in two years. United once again let a lower league side hang around all for most of the game, almost playing down to their opposition rather than putting them to the sword early until controversial referee Abbey Okulaja made one of his trademark calls and pointed to the spot due to a ball which may have been kicked into a Rochester player's arm.

Blend

Dinamo & everything else 13 July @ 11:24 PM EST
So, it has taken a little while but we finally blended the LA Vale boys and the Dinamo boys. There's a long story in there - and I'm not sure if I'm ready to write it down yet - but Matty, Baldy Nick and Chappers joined Dinamo Spartak this season.
They're kicking off in Municipal Parks Over 30 'A' Division, and in all of the duck-like action the over 30 games kicked off last week under the radar. Click to continue reading...

“We are that good” — plus “don’t forget the poll”

7am Kickoff 23 May @ 10:58 AM EST

Arsenal won the league by 25 points, losing only twice, and last night defeated Liverpool 4-1 in the First leg of the FA Cup final. It was a masterful performance, from what I hear, and though it was broadcast on Setanta in England the match wasn't available here in the states so, I didn't get a chance to watch.

The Reds went to the top of the Premier League on Saturday as they put Hull City to the sword at the KC Stadium.

Definitely, They Ain’t…

Mad About FĂştbol 14 April @ 10:30 PM EST

I truly don´t get soccer fans here in the States. Fans here want the league to get respect or think that there is a sense of entitlement that their league deserves. Get in line.

I will tell you for starters, I have been considered a huge MLS basher, and that is farther from the truth.

Cescy football returns with a bang, Cesc-itas is real and it is contagious

Wicked Deflection 06 April @ 01:36 PM EST
We've all been laid up around here with a serious case of Cesc-itas.
That's the result of a Cesc performance in a 2-0 win that was so top shelf, Arsenal Supporters chuckled with delight as Cesc carved up the visitors. That's one to the sword since the Cesc return.
The story of this season is perfectly following the story of Euro 2008. Click to continue reading...

Football Pitch Is The New Battlefield

The Offside 05 January @ 04:16 PM EST
What ever happened to a post-game handshake and pint? A couple weeks ago it was a man, after taking offense to a sending off, returning to the scene of the perceived crime wielding a chainsaw. No doubt a response steeped in logic. So logical it happened again recently in South Yorkshire in a game between [. Click to continue reading...
