The bottom line is this. Howard Webb missed the call. Even though he missed the call, Spurs still had a 2-1 lead after Cristiano Ronaldo poked in the penalty kick. They could not hold the lead they had from there. I was crushed. My Dad, who makes one road trip per season and was in [...]

The worst grass this side of Grampa’s cow pasture is going to be relaid in time for the FA Cup Final. Martin Laursen of Aston Villa and Tomas Rosicky appear likely to never [...]

New England Revolution v. Real Salt Lake (Saturday) There are two ways to look at the Rev’s match against D.C. United last week: 1) CHOKE! or 2) a good away “result.” Given the still depleted state of the of New England’s roster, I’m going to go with #2. Still, they’re in second place in the [...]

We’re a little late on this one, but since I’ve barely heard anything about it it’s kind of like we’re ahead of the curve.

Club: Leeds United A.F.C. High Position: Champions of the First Division (1991-1992) Current Position: 5th in League One (Third Division) Leeds were the first club I ever followed with anything more than a passing interest.
