I think my favorite part, Mankie, is Bendtner wanting Adebayor carded for head butting him.  They're on the SAME TEAM!!!  Would you see that on any other team, save for maybe Chelsea?

Great, another American who will be in the League Championship next season...
 
 Eddie Johnson signs with Fulham
 
 Following a hearing at a tribunal held in London earlier today, Fulham Football Club is pleased to announce that Eddie Johnson has been granted a work permit. The US international striker has signed a three-and-a-half year deal from The MLS that will see him remain at the Club until the summer of 2011.

 The truth the soccerphobes refuse to face

great article.  there is another popular attitude (less popular today) that is/was very very similar: the french-bashing that went on a few years ago.  just like people who might defend soccer, anyone who had anything positive to say about the french a few years back was seen as un-American.

I've been travellling for a while and now have the flu.  I picked a good day to be sick - there are a ton of premier league matches on today and tomorrow.  I just can't sit up long enough to give you the schedule, except Newcastle is today and Man U is tomorrow.

Yeah...go figure, it's amazing how that happened huh??

[godsshoeshine]

ok

[brennser]

wow, it only took newcastle a week to go behind Keegans back to appoint Denis Wise!

[godsshoeshine]

they were always going to bring someone in that role, i dont think that wise is a manager in waiting. keegan wanted to talk to shearer of all people, who would have been much more of an 'over the shoulder' presence
