L'il Mikey Owen - Great Move

Fri Jul 03 04:03PM

So, you're Sir Alex and you're just coming off of a season where you've lived through three (OK, four) strikers (you have to include CRon as a striker) complaining about playing time and generally making your life miserable.  Looking at their resumes, you can't really blame them.  The World Player…More

    What Would Neal Do?

    Fri Jun 12 08:47PM

    Since my post last night on CRon, I've had a few minutes to think about who I'd buy if I were ManYoo (and I'm trying to stick to spending only the CRon money)...The first question to answer is whether you think Rooney will partner Berbs or whether his future lies...More

    CRon Thoughts

    Fri Jun 12 01:57AM

    Just a few thoughts after a great trip to India and returning to the news that CRon will be leaving England for Spain.1) Even with Kaka and CRon, I'm still not sure Real is the best team in their own league.2) Let the battle commence for the title of Best...More

    Matchday Open Thread

    Sun May 24 12:58AM

    It's the final week of the season, and I'm finding it more stressful that any that preceded it  -- save for maybe the opening weekend (when I stayed in the hotel room at Disneyland to follow the games!) or the two-game weeks around the holidays.  This weekend there are no...More
