It’s a sunny Thursday and only two days until the match, and what am I doing? I’m inside, writing this post. No mind, it’s a bit hot anyway, and I was never likely to go out. I’ll address a few things today then leave you to it. The first,…
As I write this, hundreds of thousands of Europeans (and followers of European clubs) are going mad with transfer window rage. We really missed that in the recent transfer window — rumors did flit about wildly at times, but there wasn’t…
There's not exactly a slew of team news coming at the moment, though our first home match in some time is rapidly approaching — praise be on high! — though it'll be without a number of our first-choice players. In fact, that number,…

Why, it wouldn’t be much of a Friday if I didn’t address the impending match, so I think I’ll do just that. I’ve been holding off — my itchy trigger finger, again — until time inched closer to the match, and I do think the day before is as…
Jason Kreis this week will have been charged with a tough task: Fixing a hole where the rain gets in (or, if you will, goals, but it hardly completed the reference) and keeping the squad from wandering (mentally, or, perhaps, to other…
