Since the Sunderland defeat, there are two different transfer seasons that Newcastle may have to go through thissummer- and one of them is almost unthinkable. Derek LLambias - two scenarios possible for Chief Executive One is business as usual, and in that case Newcastle will bring in some top players (or at least try to), [.
After my rant at the performance last night and the way certain people played, we
will now finish outside the top four for the first time in a decade and we now have to think the
unthinkable.
The two defeats to Newcastle and Liverpool have hurt us with dropped points at
Arsenal and Fulham.
Chelsea win the FA Cup, are on to something special...
A few months ago, Chelsea winning the FA Cup seemed absurd. And the Champions League? Well, if
you were even thinking about that then you were either entirely out of your mind or some kind of
evil genius. But somehow, Roberto Di Matteo has inspired Chelsea's old guard to do the
unthinkable.
The last time Fernando Torres played at the Camp Nou...
It was the 20th of May 2007. And it got ugly. Like more fingers than you (should) have on
your right hand ugly.
Now that Chelsea have progressed to the semi-finals of the Champions League, partially due to
the recent contributions of Torres, you'll begin to hear the hype coming from the English and
Spanish media.
This might not really be news to many supporters, but casual fans and youngsters may not realize
that a fourth-place finish by the Gunners this season doesn't necessarily guarantee them a berth in
the European Champions League. It rarely happens, but the UEFA rules state there are only four
spots available for English teams and these won't be bent like they were back in 2005/06
season.
Underdogs like Hickory High, Zambia pulled off the unthinkable on Sunday, overrunning the Ivory
Coast for an unbelievable penalty shootout victory and a right to hold the African Cup of Nations
to the sky.
Zambia was charged and Ivory Coast's Prem duo of Gervinho and Didier Drogba couldn't find the
netting against the stout side.
Norwich City achieved the unthinkable as they completed back to back promotions to make a return to
the promise land of the Premier League after winning 1-0 to Portsmouth at Fratton Park.
After sitting at the foot of League 1 just 20 months ago after an opening day 7-1 drubbing defeat
to local rivals Colchester, the appointment of Paul Lambert, who was the opposition's manager that
day, has proved to be the shrewdest piece of business in the club's history.
On a midweek FIFA date that saw US National Team manager Jurgen Klinsmann bring in mostly
domestic and Mexican based players to his short camp in Mexico City, the US team did the
unthinkable on Wednesday night by winning their first game at the Estadio Azteca in Mexico
City.
A goal by Michael Orozco Fiscal in the 80th minute gave the United States its first ever win
against Mexico in Mexico, 1-0, Wednesday night.

Soccer is a cruel sport sometimes. Make no mistake about it.
Yes it was a total collapse in a way by the US U-23 team last night against El Salvador in
Nashville. Having a 3-2 lead late into extra time, with just seconds away from being able to move
on to the semifinals, the unthinkable happened as El Salvador found a way to get by keeper Sean
Johnson for the 3-3 draw.
By Clemente Lisi – NEW YORK, NY (May 23, 2011) US Soccer Players – After qualifying for the
1990 World Cup finals, the next big moment for United States soccer came the following year. The
National Team – once considered a CONCACAF doormat – did what at the time was considered the
unthinkable by knocking out Mexico in the semifinals and beating Honduras in the championship game
to win the 1991 Gold Cup.
If you recognize this as 'not the Honduran flag' then you may appreciate the madness below.
What promised to be the usual weather bullshit that Toronto supporters have been accustomed to,
turned out to be beautiful with a nice breeze. Nice change.
Canada stole the points from Cuba last week which most of the country was hooked on some other
tournament.
Neymar showed why Europe's best all want to sign him as he inspired Santos to a 3-1 victory over
Japan's Kashiwa Reysol in a Club World Cup semi-final in Toyota.
The Libertadores Cup holders are expected to face European champions Barcelona in this weekend's
final, barring the unthinkable in Barca's semi-final against Qatar's Al Sadd on Thursday.
Thanks to a 2-0 loss to Canada on Saturday night and a 3-3 draw with El Salvador last night, the
United States has failed to qualify for the men's soccer tournament in the Olympics for the first
time since 1976. Last night it appeared that, despite the shocking loss to Canada, the US team
would advance to the semifinals of the CONCACAF Olympic Qualifiers since they were leading the
match, 2-3, over El Salvador, as the match went into stoppage time.
Anyone familiar with world football knows that River Plate, in Buenos Aires, is one of the biggest,
most storied clubs in Argentine club football. This past Sunday, the unthinkable happened, River
was relegated to the second division, Primera B Nacional, after a 1-1 draw against Belgrano de
Córdoba in relegation playoffs (Belgrano beat River 2-0 on Wednesday in the first leg of the
playoff tie).
Sunday afternoon was bright and sunny in Buenos Aires, but there's a metaphorical black cloud
hanging over the Estadio Monumental as, against what everyone expected back at the start of the
Apertura, the unthinkable has actually come to pass: River ... Continue reading →
It's difficult to imagine your rival team winning and celebrating the Copa del Ray on
your home turf. How DARE they make it to the final, you ask,
when we should be there instead?! "Popping the champagne and kissing Di Stefano's grand hands
THAT'S what we should be doing at the final!
Greg Schiano has been taking on challenges his whole life, and where his recent task of rebuilding
the Tampa Bay Buccaneers of the NFL is daunting, the former Rutgers University coach is up for the
task.
Stephen F. Holder of the Tampa Bay Times writes of the man who continues to rise to the occasion.
What an excellent day of football we all had yesterday, starting with the controversial
Manchester United, Liverpool match at Old Trafford , and a result that went our way with Liverpool
losing 2-1.
I am not so sure about all the Suarez, Evra hype though as it is obvious that there is bad blood
between the two of them, but to the credit of Evra he was willing to shake Suarez's hand before the
match, but Suarez refused.
So the unthinkable now seems inevitable, and Chelsea will probably get their man.
It pains me to say this, as I really do believe that Luka Modric is irreplaceable. Having
watched the little maestro dictate the play of games at the Lane on many occasions, it's
understandable why Spurs don't want to sell the Croatian international and it he will certainly be
a great asset to an ageing Chelsea squad.
Liverpool earned another valuable three points at Anfield this afternoon where they overcame a
determined Newcastle United side by three goals to nil.
An early deflected goal by Maxi on ten minutes got the Reds off to a dream start against a team
that had beaten us 3-1 before Christmas.
Newcastle are no mugs and they went at Liverpool, winning alot of corners and free kicks, however
Joey Barton's deliveries were easily dealt with time and again by a resolute Liverpool defence.
The transformation from Bruce Banner to the Incredible Hulk still isn't an easy process to
watchHello? Is this thing still on? Oh good, you're still here.
Apologies for the delay in regular programming but, fret not, The Boys From White Hart Lane is back
from it's Christmas hiatus and is ready to rock your socks off all over again in this new year.
It was about half past nine, and I was wrapped in an imitation Snuggie that gives you a bit of
insight into how I spend my weekends. An exhausting marathon of football continued with kickoff
between West Brom and Chelsea, and I reached for the remote, wondering whether I should pull the
sheets over my eyes and call the whole thing off.
Call it what you want: a curse, a hex, some kind of hoodoo, whatever. Last night's victory for
the United States over Mexico was an amazing, monumental achievement, and it lifted the malaise
that has hovered over the USMNT when traveling south of the border for 75 years. This mystical
spell has been broken, and nothing will ever be the same for either team.
It's that time of the year again when transfer gossip heats up faster than anÂ
Oprah-written telenovela episode! Brazil's Lucas Moura, who was
furiously working out at the gym yesterday, is one of the better-balanced and geekier Brazilian
players in the squad (think Kaka's mentality, love for Morrissey and a little bit of
Neymar's Pagode influence).
It was a balmy evening at the end of May 2002 and emotions at The Sir Cyril Black Community
Centre in Wimbledon were running high. Two days earlier, the unthinkable had happened. A three-man
independent commission set up by the Football Association had, by two votes to one, waved through
permission for Wimbledon FC to leave Selhurst Park, its unhappy home for the previous eleven years,
and decamp sixty miles north to Milton Keynes in Buckinghamshire.
Article by Doak Gips Tampa Bay Rowdies vs. Minnesota Stars
It wasn't for a lack of trying, but neither the Rowdies nor the Stars could put anything into the
back of the net, and played to a 0-0 draw in front of 3182 fans at Al Lang Stadium in Tampa Bay.
Sunday, May 13, 2012. Stoney's Pub, Wilmington, DE. 3:35pm.
In only the third year of the Philadelphia Union's existence, our worst nightmare came true. Our
club lost to the New York Red Bulls at home.
For the crew of hardcore supporters that were at Stoney's, the fact that our side played one of
the better 90 minute matches we had seen in a while and the fact that a group of young guns help
close - playing with 10 men for most of the game - meant nothing.
So Chelsea did the unthinkable at the Nou Camp, drawing 2-2 with the mighty Barcelona and they are
now in the Champions League Final.
Despite playing with ten men for most of this enthralling fixture thanks to 'Mr. Nice-guy' John
Terry kneeing Iniesta in the back,
Roberto Di Matteo's side withstood the homeside's domination of the game to emerge with a
creditable draw meaning they won the semi-final 3-2 on aggregate.
What do we do if the unthinkable happens? by SV I am sure that in the back of most Gooners' mind is
apprehension as to what will happen if our captain leaves Arsenal the summer. But the fact is that,
if such a thing occurs, we shall do our very best to find a suitable [...]
Little Harper Beckham did the unthinkable at JFK airport this afternoon on her mum (who handledÂ
the well-timed paparazzi invasion like the seasoned pro that she is).
Out of all the cute kids in this familial clique, she's the one to watch, Kickettes.
Sometimes we have to sit back and think: we're changing the world with our intellectually
challenging, life changing reportage on key events happening around the globe.
United are a top priced 1.75 with Paddy Power to bounce back from their humiliating defeat at
the hands of Blackburn and beat Newcastle at St James' tonight, and everything suggest they will do
just that.
New Year's Eve turned into a 70th birthday nightmare for Sir Alex when Steve Kean's men pulled off
the unthinkable, but if the past is anything to go by he will have read the riot act to the players
and they will respond with a victory.
