It's been such a flat start to the week after Sunday's defeat which was hard to take, followed by current Spurs headlines which are dominated by Harry's court case.

The season goes on however and at the club, Joe Jordan and Jermain Defoe are leading the voices that are ‘taking the positives' out of Sunday's game.

After August's rioting in London, Tottenham full-back Benoit Assou Ekotto was one of the most vocal and active footballing voices suggesting that the game could be doing more to deal with social problems in their local area. The Cameroon international took to the streets to see some of the worst affected areas for himself after [.

Happy Holidays to all from MLS Reserves. Few things are as rewarding as getting to interact with both levels of professional soccer. On the one hand, I've had to opportunity to speak with professional athletes who make money playing the sport I love. On the other hand I get to dialogue with perhaps the most important aspect of pro sports: the fans.

All the futbolitos we've spoken to from Argentina (who support Boca disculpe Independiente fans!) share the same level affection for Juan Roman Riquelme, who is easily one of the club's most respected players. We can also reveal that he's a very level-headed hombre, and for that reason, has struck a chord with many football fans.

With the 2012 Houston Dynamo season just around the corner, it's time to get your feedback about the blog and see if I can sweet talk some of you in to becoming part of the writing team here on Dynamo Theory.

Last Tuesday night I sat through a freezing cold 4:0 defeat at Burnley and it was gutting.
I spent the whole drive home in deep thought, trying to make sense of what is going wrong with my beloved Ipswich. I came to the conclusion that the most significant contributing factor to the 6 straight defeats was a lack of confidence.

Legendary coach Manny Schellscheidt has been a pioneer in American soccer for decades, and on Monday he retired from his long-time profession, stepping down as Seton Hall head coach after 24 years.

Schellscheidt spent nearly a quarter century in charge of the Pirates, but he had already established an impressive coaching resume even before that.

Chelsea's defeat against Liverpool this weekend, immediately raised some speculation about Andre Villas Boas' future with the Blues, especially considering the impatient attitude of the club's owner, Roman Abramovic.

That minor voices apparently doesn't worry Villas Boas, who truly believes that the club owner isn't going to betray the arrangement that the two have previously made, which giving the Portuguese coach time to built a future Chelsea.

We continue our new series on the Free Beer Movement. It's called "Brews and Views" and we pose a question or topic to various prominent soccer persons and, well, they give us their view on it.

Chelsea's Frank Lampard has just received plenty applause after deciding England's victory over Spain in a friendly last weekend, something which is obviously delighting for the player which received many minor voices in this start of season.

After having a pretty tough start for both the Blues and Union Jack, Lampard can now settled down a bit and starts thinking about future target which is getting 100 caps for the national team.

Two years ago, this young urchin by the name of Daniel Levine briefly delighted us with his impressions of Wenger, Mourinho, Henry and by saying 'kwality' eerily like Rafa Benitez.

It's taken a while, but he's back with a new-and-improved canon, which takes in a few fresh voices alongside his old standards including the scatter-gun vocal styling of Emmanuel Adebayor.

Morning all, I woke up a bit late this morning so I'm going to have to fly through this.

I guess the main talking point this morning is yesterday's AGM. There's a fairly in-depth report over on Arseblog News, but even that tells you that a lot was said but not much of it was of great interest.

Apologies for the late response on pretty seismic Forest news- sometimes I do have real life to attend to, honest! So, in spite of being kept quiet by Forest, the voices everywhere else that seemed to know we were courting Steve Cotterill were right. I'm not excited by it, although naturally the next Steve of [.

Arsenal's performance this season have been far from convincing and the below par performances from some of their player are being said as one of the main culprit for it.

One of those receiving many criticism recently is Russian's Andrey Arshavin, who even admitted to public that he should have done much more for the Gunners.

After another loss, Jurgen Klinsmann is beginning to come under fire. The United States lost 1-0 to Ecuador at home. The performance was impressive at times and tepid at others. However, despite the frustration of losing, there are some positives to take away.
Chief among them would be the performance of Oguchi Onyewu who looked better than we've seen him in years.

Today we're excited to announce a new series on the Free Beer Movement. It's called "Brews and Views" and we pose a question or topic to various prominent soccer persons and, well, they give us their view on it.

Being heralded as one of the new signings that will give significant boost to Arsenal this season, Mikel Arteta, is hoping that he can answer the challenge by hoping to make a quick adaptation with his new teammates and system that Arsene Wenger creates.

The former Everton star player is very excited about the chance to play with the Gunners and is currently doing his best to catch up with his old teammates to get the understanding immediately in place considering Arsenal is not actually in a good condition at the moment.

Jared and I aren't doing the American Soccer Show anymore, but that doesn't mean we don't feel the need to give you something involving our voices between the old show and the new one. Entitled "Free on a Bosman" because Jared thought that was clever, this show is partly an update about our future and partly about the USMNT.

I can absolutely understand why some people are extremely uncomfortable with banning EDL marches.
Why i feel banning the far right EDL would be a dangerous precedence to set
I know we must always beware the thin end of the wedge and I can totally understand quotes like this :
"i think if we allow them to march we can expose them for the racist nazi's they are, much like when the bbc gave nick griffin a platform to speak, many critisised that but after that his support dropped as people could see through him, much the same here i feel.

Roma have dismissed whispers that they will attempt to hijack Milan's move for Alberto Aquilani.
"These voices are unfounded," Roma sporting director Walter Sabatini told Radio Mana Mana. "I don't want to give false hope to people."
Aquilani was brought up in the Roma youth ranks, but was sold to Liverpool in the summer of 2009 for £20m.

In football as in life, hindsight is always 20/20 and there are some dissenting Spurs voices that have greeted the impressive displays shown by Jonathan Woodgate in his first two outings as a Stoke City player.

Woody played half a game for Spurs last season after being beset by injuries over the last two years.

Reaching the age of 33, minor voices regarding Frank Lampard's ability to perform his best performance with Chelsea in the new season keeps raising especially since the player missed out on quite plenty matches last season because of injury.

However, Lampard himself seems very determined to convince people that he hasn't lost anything despite already getting into his 30's and assured the fans that he can still contribute great things for the Blues.

My Dad has three daughters, I'm the eldest and then there's Rebekah and Madeleine. I often wonder if he was ever a little disappointed; no boys to take along with him to the football. But he needn't have worried, because all three of us have followed in his footsteps and become avid town fans.

Earlier this week I received my review copy of Those Guys Have All the Fun: Inside the World of ESPN, so the first thing I did was jump to the index to find any sections that deal with soccer. Based on the directions that the index sent me in, and I should note the index seems a bit poor, the book only focuses on soccer in the context of the 2010 World Cup finals in South Africa, which isn't a bad thing, but it seems to leave out the World Wide Leader's dabbling with the Beautiful Game during the bulk of its 31 years.

FIFA's carefully constructed house of cards continued to crumble over the weekend, much to the joy of football fans the world over. It's not like the vapid corruption in football's world governing body is some kind of secret, it's just been too powerful and to organized to collapse under the weight of it's own idiocracy.

One of the truest voices in contemporary times is no more. Gil Scott Heron was the voice of elegant outrage and inconvenient truths dazzling us with a cascade of indelible words and images. Poet, activist, humanist. I had the honour of listening to him in SOB's years ago in one of his increasingly infrequent appearances but his art and passion were unmistakable.

That's the message that Graham Westley is sending out ahead of Boro's crucial clash with Bury tomorrow afternoon. Westley is hoping that the "siege" mentality will have a positive effect on the game, with Boro possibly needing to win to stay in the play-off places. Referee decisions have cost his team in their last 2 away games and GW has planted a little seed in the referee's mind ahead of the game.

From Jonathan Tannenwald, Philly.com Sports Editor, on Twitter:

Okay, people, now time to really make some news.

You can now turn off auto-play video ads on Philly.com sports pages. Yes, that means you @krmcguire @DanLevyThinks and everyone else.

A team's success always able to change the mood of players including Liverpool's main keeper, Pepe Reina, as the goalie who was previously being heavily linked with a move to Manchester United has now pledged his future with The Reds.

Reina even denied that he ever has any intention of joining the Red Devils, insisting that he is happy at Anfield and believes that his team are heading in the right direction with their new owner.

Back in March 2008 all was still right with the world for Arminia Bielefeld. The club was in its' fourth consecutive season in the top flight. The stadium's new East Stand with extra VIP boxes, and whatever is needed to please the prawn sandwich brigade, had just been completed. New revenue streams were ready to flow and the club was about to play its' 500th Bundesliga match against Hanover.

Here's the Union media community's take on the loss to the Los Angeles Galaxy:

When 1-0 Is a Zero Sum Game " Union City Blue
The Philadelphia Union lost 1-0 to the Los Angeles Galaxy at the Home Depot Center on Saturday night. I actually watched this game several times, and I'm...

The Philly Soccer Page " Philadelphia Union 0-1 Los Angeles Galaxy
Philadelphia Union fell 1-0 to the Los Angeles Galaxy on Saturday night, failing to equalize despite playing most of the second half one man up.

Some (most?) have wondered what it would be like to have life commentary full time, perhaps even from some of the names and voices we here on a weekly basis.

This is that dream, and it is an odd reality to be sure.

There are really no words available to explain what is happening with this short.

Barcelona 3-1 Arsenal

Another year, another aggregate defeat to Barcelona, but this one was tinged with a dose of 'what if'.

What if, at 1-1, we had remained with eleven men? Would the game, as Wenger argues, have opened up and presented us with a really good opportunity to go through?

It seems that in the interest of improving league broadcasts, Major League Soccer's broadcasting department has set up a Twitter account specifically for TV-related feedback. Under the name @MLSonTV, the account appeared yesterday with a call for any and all opinions fans might have on the way the league is presented on the magic box - from announcers to the use of replay.
