In 2000 Ipswich finally reached the EPL via the playoffs after several years heartbreak. They did this under the guidance of George Burley who’d been in charge at Portman Road for over five years and a squad of players who reminded fairly much the same season-to-season by selling only a couple of players to bigger clubs (like Keiron Dyer to Newcastle) to insure the bills get paid. Their first season back in the EPL Ipswich finished fifth and qualified for the UEFA Cup. This again was done with much the …

It’s been a day now since I heard about Yallop’s departure from the HDC. I still think it’s a mistake to let him go. Now, I’m afraid the AEG brain trust will make an even bigger mistake. Seriously, Queiroz did an awful job with the Metros. Why would he do any better in LA? Am I missing something here? Personally, I’m on a one-man crusade to see Cienfuego at the helm. I’m not even sure “Cien” would be interested, but who else is there that is …

Lalas should have done everything in his power to prevent this.
Instead, it now looks like he did everything in his power to make this happen. The worst bit is the SJ will now get him.
Like I said, Huge Mistake!
UPDATE: It looks like Arena is gone too. Silly me, I was sure Colorado would be the first to make changes in that Department.

It’s Midnight, my team is losing and not looking like they’ll do anything except give up a couple more goals in the second half so rather than be a zombie the next day at work, I decide to go to bed. I guess I missed a good second half. Or at least a valiant effort. My Twitter on the right gives a taste of my thought process at the time.
What did we do before YouTube? Heck, a co-worker of mine came to my office to …

I’ve been hearing rumors to the effect that Lalas and Yallop aren’t exactly BFFs. It seems a lot of the recent trades (many of which I still don’t understand) are all the work of the ginger one. Now I’m finally hearing about it from a reliable source.
If you want my opinion–well, your reading my blog so your gonna get it–dump Lalas before he does much more damage to the team. My problem isn’t what he’s been saying to the British press–I actually enjoy the way he winds …

Anyone who has read my blog for a while knows my first love in pro soccer was when I visited Portman Road for the first time. I’ve been a loyal fan ever since. LA became my second love only because I was forced to move so far from my first love. It’s a tragic love triangle. Add to it the fact that Ipswich’s biggest rival (Naaarch {spit}) wear the same colors as LA. Also, LA’s biggest rivals (SJ…though they don’t exist anymore) wear the same …

The first thing I want to mention is the passing of Lamar Hunt. I never met the guy, never supported any of his teams. However, his commitment and vision played a large role in giving us fans the NFL and MLS we see today. If not for him, neither would probably be as successful as they are. I hope he left us knowing how much enjoyment he brought so many in this country.
A very different loss was announced last night when one of my favorites, …

Yallop has made a move that I’m not sure I understand. LA traded fan favorites Herc Gomez and Ugo Ihemelu for Joe Cannon. There was also the trade of draft picks, but I’d put a beer or 3 on neither of the picks playing more than a handful of MLS matches ever.
Of course, Cannon said all the right things…
“I am overwhelmed and very excited to play for one of the best franchises, maybe the best franchise in the league,” said Cannon. “It is an incredible opportunity and I just …
