New England Revolution v. Seattle Sounders S.C. (Saturday) I don’t often pick against my Revs in our “MLS Pick ‘em” feature, but this week I did…I had to. It’s not that I don’t think they have a chance, it’s just that they’re a club who can’t afford to make a mistake in any match, and [...]

There have actually been more than 100 editions of this feature thanks to some guest contributors, but this is the 100th one that I’ve been responsible for creating- and believe me, I never thought I’d be able to crank out that [...]

It’s been far too long since the last time that I bored you with all of those little bits of footballing flotsam and jetsam that haven’t made it into any of my previous posts, so sit back, relax, and get ready to point out all of my mistakes. Being a supporter of one of the [...]
