Ross County F.C. v. Raith Rovers F.C. (Saturday) County’s recent form has been, at best, mediocre. They’ve taken only five points from their last five matches and are only one point above the relegation playoff spot in the First Division. The good news is that of the clubs above them only one, Dundee, has taken [...]

We haven’t had a challenge like this in quite a while, so this week I thought I’d give you all a chance to play at being a football manager. After the jump I’ll give you the restrictions under which you will have to operate. You’ll be working with an unlimited budget, so that’s at least [...]

Looking around earlier today at MLS’s website ahead of tomorrow’s draft, I stumbled across something they have been running for the past couple months but until today I have missed.

No caps for Germany or the U.S.A. UPDATE: Andrew B. has checked in with some answers of his own…see below for his contributions. Most people like to be right- I LOVE to be right. Except where the Thursday Challenge is concerned. In this case I kind of like it when one of you finds a [...]
How Marouane Fellaini Prepares for the Merseyside Derby

Thus far, Everton’s season has not been particularly fantastic. While they’ve had some good moments (notably the win in the first Merseyside Derby and the comeback draw with Manchester United), they’ve also had some pretty bad ones (a 4-1 home loss to West Brom, a 2-0 loss to Stoke), and the fact that they didn’t [...]

Kenny Dalglish (or, if you prefer, @kennethdalglish) is an oddity amongst Premier League managers. Not because of the decade between managerial gigs, or the fact that he was successful as a player and a manager, or the fact that he’s the only manager from a club outside the “Big Four” to win a Premier League [...]
