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…

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…
