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]
Club Football News
For Love Or Football
"Footballer asked to give up honeymoon for new club." Admit it - first thoughts center around the wife and a reaction worthy of any reality shows in which a new bride or bride-to-be seem like a good candidate for a rubber room and a key which gets mysteriously lost for...ever. Tim Ream ...
Bayern Munich Signs The Common Man
High up on the list of things no to do with football fans is to promise the unveiling of a big new signing and then fail to follow through. Worse is to promise a big signing and then come through with someone who won't even find the end of the ...
Jose Being Jose, In A Parking Lot
That's Jose after last night's Clasico, hanging out in the Camp Nou parking lot next to the referee's car. He's not waiting to tell him how much he enjoyed his performance or beg him for the maker of his cologne, I can tell you that much. Google Translate can do ...
Cristiano Throws A Clasico-Sized Fit
A Clasico which lived up to its name? But of course. And Cristiano was seen off the ball throwing what should now be one of his toddler tantrums? But of course. It's not one of his finest, in fact it'd have a hard time cracking his top five, but it's nice to ...
Mirandes: This Year's Cinderella
Despite the nonsense about some other matchup in the Copa del Rey right now - can't quite remember the names of those rather insignificant teams at the moment - the real story is not east, not west, but down. Way down in the third division. Mirandes, a humble little club ...
Overhead To The Head
Thee Balotelli stamp seems to be making its way round the internet quite soundly right now, but there was a far more vicious boot to the head in Europe this weekend which probably won't see any pop remixes anytime soon. Dorge Kouemaha of Kaiserslautern went to clear a ball out ...
Fly, Fly Away With Diego
When Al Wasl paid a hefty sum of money to Diego Maradona to lead their team, they did so not with the idea of getting the next great football coach, but with the idea that he'd be part coach, part entertainer, occasionally part circus clown. He rarely disappoints, if he ...
Spicing Up The Official Club Page
When you're a Brazilian club of the third division and you're starved for hits on your website, there are only two possible options: i. Hire a spammer. ii. Porn. Brasiliense has opted for choice number two, decking out their club website with adult-oriented imagery of females in various states of undress. And ...
