I had been meaning to put this up since last week, when I saw it in the Guardian, but have only gotten around to it now. Seeing as how the WWFU is staffed by supporters of Liverpool, Manchester United, and Arsenal, it was convenient that the players of all three of these clubs have, [...]

The Great Exodus
Posted in Arsenal on 25 May 2007 | 2 Comments »
Summer time is always a period of great speculation and madness. Oil prices increase dramatically, futures are patched together in the blazing heat on a graduation ceremony, and betting pools form speculating how long it takes before it is revealed that MG does not know how to fly fish. One trend this summer that seems [...]

I am surprisingly not as gutted as I would have expected to be after having just finished watching Liverpool lose in the European Cup final. The fact that Milan’s first goal was a handball, or that the referee–under whose watchful eye Milan have not lost a Champions League game, and Liverpool have never scored [...]

As the end of the Premier League season comes into sight, so to does the start of what has been termed “silly season.” This is the time of year when the message boards are packed with all sorts of ridiculous proclamations–Henry and Villa to Liverpool for £50 million each, Sheva to Reading, and everybody to [...]

Something has been bothering me for awhile and I feel no better place to get it off my chest then right here on the web. The other day I had an epiphany. Well, it was more like the other night after a heavy night at bars. I returned home empty handed and after browsing the [...]

A big stink is being made by Argentine legend Jorge Valdano, who says that Rafa Benitez and Jose Mourinho are ruining football, and that the reason for this is that neither of them made it as players. Valdano, who once compared himself to Borges, even went as far to say that the recent Champions [...]

Flashback to the Champions League Final of 2005. Liverpool were taking on AC Milan, I was living out of my car, Jose Mourinho was whinging about “the better team not winning”, and Djimi Traore was featuring prominently in the Liverpool defense.
Thankfully, two of those things have since then changed. I now live in [...]
Mourinho Deja Vu

I don’t know if my blood pressure has reached a level that’s safe enough to do a rational analysis of tonight’s match yet–every big Liverpool match is a heart attack waiting to happen–but I wanted to make a quick mention of Jose’s post-match comments.
As he did at this juncture two years ago, Mourinho said after [...]
