Referees, Sacrilege, Foulfests and Other Rave Green Thoughts that Kept Me Awake Last Night

Once again, those rave green thoughts that kept me awake: Jorge Gonzalez. That's the referee. Has he reffed for us before? Can't remember anything about him. Without more information, I might as well assume he's good, right? Why not? I mean, why not

Wolves gunned down

Wolves went down to the defeat that newly promoted teams are expected to have against one of the top teams in the Premier League. For half an hour they stayed in the game and provided some problems for their opponents but then the Gunners scored three times in 15 minutes

Spending Spree? CAS freeze bans

As we proceed, to buy what we need. Diddy knows what is up. As you should have already heard, the Court of Arbitration for Sport has agreed to freeze the two-window transfer ban on Chelsea, as well as the four-month playing ban on Gael Kakuta. These bans, imposed by Fifa's Dispute

NOB 2 - 1 La Banda or Who Was That Tall Uruguayan?

Quick thoughts after the match: Newell's are playing like title winners, refusing to lose (or draw in this case) and scored another late match winner. Boghossian is a beast. I don't remember if NOB bought him or if he is on loan (I am thinking he is on loan) but I am

Homa Away From Roma Pt. II

Inter v Roma Best news you'll hear up until the game: they aren't supposed to win. Which really makes it fun, eh? Inter are in good form; Roma are not. Inter have a fully fit squad; Roma do not. Inter are at home; Roma are only sorta at home. Classic nothing to

PSG: First Friendly, Financial Shenanigans

July 8th I kicked out most of the existing staff, handing them their (very generous) buyouts and assuring them that there were no hard feelings. I’m not sure how the French press works, but they hadn’t caught wind of what had happened before my first press conference. The press conference went fine.

Inter v Roma: Dipende da Noi

Just as it should, this game gets top billing this weekend. Say what you will about Roma, for some reason they always bring it when they travel to Milan to play Inter. It doesn't really seem to matter their form or where they sit in the table, when they come

Wolves 1-Arsenal 4

Or should I saw Wolves 3-Arsenal 2? We come away with 3 points on a scoreline which flatters us a little bit, on the back of 2 early Wolves own goals which put us up 2-0, a vantage point from which we never looked back. Wolves strategy was pretty obvious,

Back to where it all began...

After the tragedy on the game being corrupted, I started it again. With the expectation of qualifying to Europe, I still got 7mil of budget. I did mostly the same I had done in the corrupted save, if you don't count my debut game, when I won 3-0, two great

Spurs are just better.

It's becoming a very disturbing thing to see the Black Cats losing. I know that this isn't the Arsenal team that went wire to wire undefeated, but I'd like to end this losing streak fast. It's like Liverpool cursed us with that stupid beach ball. If the club had known

The week's roundup, West Ham and Bolton (5-1!)

A bit of a roller coaster ride it has been this week, after a couple of draws we saw ourselves dropping three more points at West Ham, I was bitterly disappointed to say the least, so much so I failed to write this blog at the time. But it's all

No Smooth Sailing Here

Hull City in Turmoil Well it's never easy now, is it. The Tigers have endured a tumultous few weeks, with USA wunderkind being sent home and suspended over a Twitter flap, Phil Brown coming under immense pressure about his job security, auditors claiming we could go broke if relegated, and finally,

CL Wrap-Up and Udinese Preview

As with my last post, this one will be really brief. As I’ve explained, I’m going through a real busy patch at work and Timmy is on vacation, so this is largely just to give us all a place to post thoughts, etc. --------------------------------------- First off are some much-delayed, and not

Hanging Our Heads In Shame

What have we all done to deserve this? Lazio succumbed to a killer 4-1 defeat at the hands of Villarreal in a game that quickly became excruciating to watch and got progressively more painful. It was my intention to bring you a LiveBlog but having been delayed and returning home

Matchday: Lens-Sochaux (Stade Auguste Bonal)

Today Lens travels to Montbéliard in the Franche-Comté region of eastern France, where the famous Peugeot automobile plant resides and where a slick European voiture is produced every 30 seconds. The global recession has hit this commune very hard and the local economy has witnessed sharp declines. However the same

Atalanta - Juventus: "I'll trade you my Ciro for your Conte, maybe..."

Antonio Conte was so close to taking the Juventus job over the summer and now he comes face to face with his old teammate Ciro Ferrara. When Conte took Bari to promotion from Serie B, he announced he would only be willing to leave if it meant sitting on the Bianconeri

Matchday Twelve: Tearful Reunion

The last time we saw Michael Skibbe at BayArena, he was there to clean out his desk- the 07/08 season razed on its final matchday, two-and-half years of service to the Werkself scrubbed away. His final memories were of angry supporters building pitchside bonfires of Leverkusen jerseys and a stolen

A League Round 14 Preview

Well round 14 is here, and while it won't be nearly as exciting as last round (where I got to use my press pass to watch the game in Canberra), there are still some interesting clashes. Adelaide United v Brisbane Roar 0-2 Melbourne Victory v Central Coast Mariners, Saturday, 7pm Melbourne are looking

After the exciting win (again) at Bayern with both Gourcuff AND Chamakh scoring (<--love), I think it's time we take a good break and relax with some pretty calendar photos. Martha (once of the Nice blog) managed to dig up some lovely photos of the new calendar which I am

When, Against Your Better Judgment, You Open an Email Entitled "Orange Speedo," You Deserve What You Get. (OR: More Pat Onstad Photoshop Fun)

(Oh, what? Stop whining. Like the post title didn't warn you?) Email exchange. Topic line "Orange Speedo. " Same anonymous friend/Sounders fan I talked about in the previous post. We are both thinking about the upcoming game with "Forever Orange" Houston. Him to me: [Link
