Oh. Yeah. Another weekend, another meaningless match against a side with something to actually play for. This week it was Deportivo, formerly Super Depor, playing for its European life, with some help (that wasn’t forthcoming, as it turned out) from Bilbao.
We, on the other hand, were trying to run off a hangover, and looked [...]

So here it is, your final preview of the 2008/09 season. And no, it won’t be gloriously long and stats-laden. Instead, it’ll be about Samuel Eto’o. He is on the war path, as we saw on Wednesday and his sights are set securely on Diego Martín Forlán Corazo. You may have heard of him. Depor [...]

Because I can never really get enough of this:

I didn’t expect this. I just didn’t. I’m speechless. I’ve watched the match and I am absolutely staggered. Does anyone recall the Chelsea post-match, in which every last member of the ESPN broadcasting crew agreed on the Final prediction:
“No chance” was the consensus. We were going to get killed.
But we, and our beautiful, beautiful game [...]

Oh god it’s here. It’s finally here. The 2009 UEFA Champions League Final in Roma. It is tomorrow. Oh man. Nerves are on edge, need more caffeine to think, can’t have more caffeine to maintain sanity. IfeellikewhatDaniAlvesmustfeellikeatalltimesexceptI’mnervousinsteadofhyper. Despite my thoughts on the CL, this is definitely an exciting game, a winner-takes-all free-for-all made-entirely-of-hyphenated-descriptions.
Please forgive the [...]
Pick United’s poison, a.k.a. “What’s the lineup and strategy?”
By: Kevin | 188 Comments
Okay. It’s time. It’s Tuesday (well not in Chicago, but in many parts of the world, including Barcelona. Speculation is rife, and Isaiah is going to get us all fired up like crazy folks with a rip-roaring preview that will make us all frothy-mouthed culeniacs.
But for now, let’s use our thinking caps and figure out [...]
Barca 0, Osasuna 1, a.k.a. “A little mud won’t stop the party!”
By: Kevin | 91 Comments
Customarily, losses fill me with unreserved bile, make me want to throw stuff, go find a dog to kick and a kitten to vex.
But I was too busy giggling at the celebration videos. Sure Osasuna rolled out their first team and got a close win against our reserves (even down to 10), but it [...]
