News broke yesterday that Liverpool owners George Gillett and Tom Hicks have made an actual move towards selling the club. I’ve refrained from commenting on the situation for quite some time, for a couple of reasons, but I’m going to comment now. If there has been a “gold standard” amongst English football clubs (especially non-London [...]
You knew this was coming, didn’t you?

As you might imagine, I’m far too giddy to say anything coherent about Ross County’s victory over Celtic in today’s Scottish Cup semifinal, so I’m going to let a few facts and a few others do it for me: Attendance: 24,535…over 7,000 of those supporting Ross County. Some perspective on these numbers: Hampden Park is [...]

Could there be a terror attack of the USA-England match at the World Cup on June 12? I guess most people would think that a threat made this far in advance and discussing the actual plan of what is supposed to take place is a bit ridiculous. There has been a raft of negative news coming [...]

I’d like to take this moment today to discuss the WPS. Fuse is doing a “Very Special Saturday” post tomorrow in commemoration of this weekend’s kickoff, so I’m not going to talk about any of the actual teams or anything. Instead I’m going to talk about an oft-ignored but still interesting statistic: Twitter followers. Let’s [...]

Ross County F.C. v. Celtic F.C. (Saturday) The Staggies’ chances at promotion to the SPL have dimmed as of late, but that won’t be on anyone’s mind this weekend as the Dingwall side will travel to Hampden Park in Glasgow to play in their first-ever Scottish Cup semifinal. County will be a prohibitive underdog against [...]

Shameless Ross County boosterism aside, let it be known that I have waited over a year before using this website for purely personal reasons.* With that being said… Welcome. This will be the first post in- given my purchasing habits- an infinite series of posts featuring the cornucopia of football related clothing in my closet. [...]
