Olic Extraordinaire
Surprise! Yeah I know you probably stopped by on this update-forsaken outpost more out of habit than genuine expectation of finding anything new, but hey, guess what, you’ve got some reading to do! And with loads of stuff happening throughout this month and not nearly enough space to fit everything into a single post, I’ve decided to break into a few pieces. We start with:
More Croatia News
Belgium Friendly Review
I’ll keep this rather short though. God that was awful. The end. (more…)

Marching On
That’s much better. After months of mixing, pondering and experimenting, Harry Redknapp found the right ingredients for his winning Tottenham formula. OK, so they’ve won a few times before and are sitting in that oh-so-valuable 4th spot, but this win, this is something we should all be delighted with. (more…)

February Weekend Report
It’s been a while, but weekend reports coupled with some (attempt at) bad taste humor are due to come your way in a much more reliable fashion. But this time, let’s get right down to business. (more…)

Looking Good From Our Perspective
Not to show disrespect to anyone (actually I’m pretty sure the feeling of being happy with the draw is mutual with all the group participants), but we’ve just been handed one helluva favorable draw. (more…)

Late Weekend Report
Due to some extraordinary circumstances (not involving spaceships and abductions;or at least I think not), I’ve managed to skip writing on last weekend’s action. And being the cheapskate I am, instead of writing it down now I’ll simply pretend that last week never happened. Ha! But anyway, now that I’ve demonstrated my time altering powers, it’s time to write down ... [read more]

Louis Saha Uses Leeches to Heal His Knees
Everton striker Louis Saha is not a man blessed with good knees. In fact I'd go as far as saying he's a top class striker cursed with horrible knees, and as a result has never been able to hit the heights his talents deserve. He's the French Ledley King. After years ...
Is a Throw-In to The Face Worth a Red Card?
Be prepared to flinch when you watch the above video from the Women's Bundesliga in Germany. The thrower is Taoba Kemmy of FFC Turbine Potsdam, the woman in the way is Kerstin Garefreke of FFC Frankfurt. Kemmy felt Garefreke was getting in her face while trying to a throw, so ...
Name To Remember: Noah Shawn
[Spotted at The Original Winger] Hype can be a terrible thing. It can fail to account for the fact that natural growth may or may not occur or the butterfly effect which takes hold of everyone's life - and this before considering what hype does itself, something taking hold of its ...
Rafa v Jose: The Next Chapter
Given it's the football season, the war of words between Jose Mourinho and everybody else will run through the end of the year, when he's only shut up by a cool beach breeze. Atop his list is Rafa Benitez, once nemesis and now replacement, who combined forces with Italian television, ...
Daily Dose: September 2nd, 2010.

(Netherlands WCB) Russia play down racism with stupidity. (Match Fit USA) Jack Wilshere well on his way to being a proper Prem footballer. (The Spoiler) The ...
The Physics Of Roberto Carlos
As evidenced by the aerodynamic qualities of his glistening dome and breaking land-speed records with every third free kick, Roberto Carlos is a very, very scientific man. He's also inspired scientists, particularly that free kick back in 97 - you don't need to hit play to know the one I'm ...
Soundoff: Who's Your Local Non-League Team?
Due to the international break and Euro 2012 qualifiers on Friday, there'll be no Premier League or Championship football in England this weekend. Football fan James Doe saw an opportunity, and declared Saturday, September 4th Non-League Day. So all football fans who usually support big teams are encouraged to go ...
