« Previous EntriesOn Fabio Aurelio – for, thankfully, not the last time
Yawn, yet another free transfer…Seeing Fabio Aurelio re-sign with Liverpool is wonderful, welcome news. And not only because it makes the goodbye post I wrote in May moot – although the video still makes for fantastic viewing.He’s not the end-all,…

On Luke Young
Update (5:15pm): So in my rush to get this up before all eyes were on tomorrow’s match, I may have jumped the gun a bit. Wouldn’t be the first time, probably won’t be the last. The most recent news is that Young traveled with Villa to Portugal after in…

On Danny Wilson
Update: And basically done, from Rangers’ official site.In the last two days, following the incredibly depressing sale of Insua, we’ve seen Joe Cole sign, Gerrard commit to the club, and now the Danny Wilson transfer finally near completion (news broke…
On Joe Cole
“Wherever I go, it’ll be a footballing decision. I want to play in a more central position and I want a manager who has faith in me. And I’m talking about club football here.”- Joe Cole, June 27, 2010There are certainly signs for optimism in the signin…
No Friendly, No More Insua
I was hoping to write about Liverpool’s first friendly today. Lord knows I’d much rather “analyze” matters on the pitch. Ha.Instead, after postponing and then canceling the game against Al-Hilal due to torrential rain in Austria, the official site anno…
FK Rabotnicki or FC Mika, and Al-Hilal
So it’s been nearly a week since the World Cup ended and normal service still hasn’t resumed around these parts. I’d apologize, but it wouldn’t be sincere. I’d rather stay silent than join in the speculative, wrist-slitting, ‘everyone’s getting sold an…

I do interviews
Because, for some reason, people ask me to.If you’re of the inclination to read far too many of my words (and why else would you be here?), I did an interview with Marc from Pandagoal over the weekend. You should check them out regardless of whether yo…
Goals per Game: Club versus Country
