Liverpool F.C. v. Newcastle United F.C. (Friday) The title race is down to two clubs and these are not the two clubs. A place in Europe, however, is still very much up for grabs and these two clubs are in the thick of the race for it. Separated by only a single point, Liverpool and [...]

Bradford City A.F.C. v. Southend United F.C. (Friday) As recently as 2000 Bradford were a Premier League club, now they are only one spot above being relegated from league football. I’m not sure how you fill Valley Parade (25,000+) as a conference club, but the Bantams may find out. Southend are in a very different [...]

Ross County F.C. v. Partick Thistle F.C. (Saturday) Five wins in a row and another week in first place- not much to complain about if you’re a Staggies supporter! There’s good news on the horizon too- joint top-scorer Steven Craig has this match and one more before his convoluted (and unfair!) red card suspension ends. [...]

It was touch and go for a while there, but after three days without I now have lights, heat, and more importantly to the task at hand, internet access! Were it not for that last one this week’s answers I would have had to send telegrams to each and every reader to reveal the answers [...]

Welcome back! It’s been kind of a weird and slow week around these parts and I was beginning to worry that there would be no answers submitted- especially as I have had to prepare this post about 12 hours ahead of time in order to make sure it was done in time. Harry, J. came [...]

United States v. Costa Rica (Friday) Though I always hope for a USMNT win, the outcome of this match- and probably the one against Belgium that follows it- is only of secondary importance. The primary function of these matches is for Jurgen Klinsmann to continue to evaluate the talent pool from which he will have [...]

New England Revolution v. New York Red Bulls (Saturday) Based on the last month or so the Revolution might want to consider adding the Latin phrase for “Finding a way not to win” to the team logo. I applauded (moderately) the signing of Milton Caraglio and the emergence of teen sensation Diego Fagundez, but I’m [...]
Choosing a Second Side: How to Follow The Football League
Posted in Choosing a new Team, General, League One, League Two, The Championship on August 3, 2011 | 14 Comments »
I have a confession to make. Although I’ve made no secret of my affinity for Fulham Football Club (they are the driving force behind my online sobriquet, after all), Fulham were not my first love in English football, and to this day, they aren’t my only love in the game. I am, in thought, word [...]

I’m not going to mention any names- I’m not that kind of guy*-but let’s just say that as Keith C. and Harry J. have stepped up their collective games over the past month or so a few of our regulars have, well, faded into the background. Unnamed commenters, I’m calling you out- come back and [...]

I’d like to begin by thanking everyone for their patience with the long delay between the publication of the first half of the commenter survey results and this, the second half of those results. Normally this would be the place where I made some sort of humorous excuse for why this has happened, but the [...]
