Apologies for these going up Monday morning, but I was gone all weekend and only just had time to review the weekend’s activities and decide, yet again, that the future looks increasingly bright at Manchester United. With goals from Danny Welbeck (18), Nani (22), and Darron Gibson (21), United look fully capable of remaining both [...]

Soccernet.com is reporting that, “Manchester United have concluded their business in the January transfer window with the capture of Serbian duo Zoran Tosic and Adem Ljajic from Partizan Belgrade.” It seems that an announcement was made in November that Manchester had reached an agreement with Partizan for Tosic and Ljajic, but that no official statements [...]

So, while I was sitting in my office and ponder how much fun it’s going to be to play Inter without Nemanja Vidic (hope you’re ready Johnny Evans), I found myself reading this article about Gary Neville, whom older readers may remember as once having actually been good, and was struck by the following quote:

So, I’ve been slammed this week and haven’t really had all that time to kill surfing the internet and then billing clients for it. So, I wasn’t going to do any links today until I came upon this video from SNL. I laughed so hard that it took a good little while to compose myself… [...]

Not that the other English teams are any happier. [...]

So, I set my alarm, woke up, found a stream of the match between United and Gamba Osaka, and then promptly went back to sleep. This sequence of events turned out to be a shame, as I missed a (seemingly) rare opportunity for United to display their firepower. Five goals (three in minutes 75-79) put [...]

So, apparently, a rather talkative King Franco FC official has let it be known that the Slave-to-Madrid transfer is a done deal, and that the Portuguese winger will be heading over for an undisclosed amount this summer. Here is the actual dialogue of the recorded conversation involving Club Director Pedro Trapote:

So, it was announced early this morning that Paul Ince has been relieved of his coaching duties at Blackburn. The former MK Dons manager had struggled since taking over from the departed Mark Hughes, and had failed to get even one point out of his last six matches. Ince was seen as an exciting injection [...]

I feel like it’s a bit misleading to refer to what I’m posting below as “highlights”, since, you know, we didn’t do a whole lot of classic stuff in this one. Slave threw in a nice handball and a decent leg swipe at one of the Tottenham defenders that kept him bottled up all afternoon. [...]
