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 [...]

Last week’s holiday-themed challenge was a “tough ask” and I’m not shocked that there was only one among who was able to correctly ascertain the answer to the first half of the question and that nobody was able to answer the second half of the question. Join me after the jump and I will reveal [...]

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 [...]

Republic of Ireland v. Andorra (Friday) This is another match with qualification implications. Ireland are currently in second place in Group B, but only one point behind first place Russia. Ireland should win this match handily (improving their goal differential) and move past the Russians into first place. To remain in first place Russia will [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

New England Revolution v. Chivas USA (Saturday) All the talk in New England this week was about the signing of the club’s first Designated Player, Argentine striker Milton Caraglio. Not all of that talk was good, however. Supporters are concerned because Caraglio- just 22- has already suffered a knee injury serious enough to cause him [...]

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 [...]

Crawley Town F.C. v. A.F.C. Wimbledon (Friday) I think it’s fantastic that the opening round of England’s League Cup features two teams who will begin their first seasons in league football this year. I also like the way that both of these clubs came into the league (League Two in this case). AFC Wimbledon decided [...]

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 [...]
