Carlos Edwards breaks a leg

By Lucas | December 5th, 2007

Carlos Edwards is out again. Only three games back from his August hamstring tear, Edwards broke his leg during the Derby match and will miss at least six weeks. Ugh, this is a vital point in the Premiership schedule, and six weeks (or more) could mean

Last night I experienced football commentary for the first time, and oh how much fun it was! I'd been denied a press pass by Forest, but went along anyway to record my commentary from right at the top of the Sir Brian Clough Stand. O.k, it wasn't live

Well folks, im not a big fan of “I told you so”, but after watching New England knock off Chicago and a ragged DC United at Chivas, I keep telling myself the best thing about Sunday night is: we didn’t lose. In so doing, we controlled the game, sco

Calling in the reserves?

By Chris | May 5th, 2007

4 games and no goals. This shocking statistic is thus far the legacy of Mo Johnston's ill fated coaching stint in Toronto. As a player who knew how to stick the ball away, if he cant coach goals out of his forwards, god help the rest of his team. But

Conor Casey Dealt To Rapids. You Can Stop Trading Now, Mo

By Sam | April 20th, 2007

Sir Mo Johnston must have just realized how much he loves trading players, or how much he needs to, because for the fifth straight day, I've a new arrival to talk about. Move over Ronaldinho rumours and Cristiano hearsay: TFC's got their hands on Riley O'

Cavani is Hurt? I Blame Caracciolo.

By Martha | March 30th, 2007

You know how everyone who cares about Palermo was thrilled to hear Andrea Caracciolo sowing his sour grapes last week, announcing he was leaving the club this summer? And how that joy was both because he's a pain in the ass, but also because a certain Edi

Welcome to the injury list

By Chris | March 27th, 2007

For most RB fans, a new coach and a new season brings optimism of a fresh start at the Meadowlands. And after last week’s fall out over a 14 million dollar loss for the 2005-2006 season, at least we can put to bed the rumors Red Bull is running this tea

Nesta is Back, Nesta is Back! [Insert Squeals of Joy Here]

By Martha | February 27th, 2007

Those are Carlo Ancelotti's squeals of joy, by the way. Who did you think, those of millions of smitten women? Come now, this is terribly serious business. No, really. Ancelotti is so desperate for a fit, available (nudge nudge) defender at this point

Cissé's tackle on Yepes: Cue "Eye of the Tiger"!

Ask an OM fan about Marseille's Djibril Cissé's tackle on Paris' Mario Yepes: "He didn't mean it! Come on, he was hurt not too long ago! The ball was right there! He just mistimed it! Come on, he's just a big teddy bear!" Ask a PSG fan about Marseille's

By Martha | January 31st, 2007

The dangerously well-informed Ives Galarcep broke the news this morning that Mike Magee (who, it seems, has been in the league since he was an infant) has a torn MCL and will be out until May. Super. This news would be less galling had the injury just

Things Suddenly Look Much Darker in Palermo

By Martha | January 4th, 2007

A moment of silence, please, for Palermo's barely breathing title aspirations: The scan of Amauri's knee today returned the worst possible results, and he'll be out at least four months, maybe for rest of the season depending on how quickly he can come ba

D-Day for Palermo

By Martha | January 3rd, 2007

January 4 is marked with a big, red "X" on calendars all over Palermo right now: Amauri, the team's best striker (not to mention its best fake-Italian-in-waiting), will have his damaged knee scanned tomorrow, and will find out then if he needs surgery or

The two richest clubs in the country are in two very different pickles lately. One is suffering a horrible season, is having fatal hooligan problems, and has everyone hating the coach. Look no further than Paris Saint-Germain. The other is virtually guara

Matchday 17 - Djibril is back, Paris isn't

By Sam | December 10th, 2006

Saturday was a big night at Stade Vélodrome in Marseille, for many reasons. The home leg against Monaco has long been a feisty tradition in the south of France, Marseille was hoping for a much-needed win to get back on the winning track, and Monaco wante

Ribéry ain't going nowhere

By Sam | November 18th, 2006

After much speculation and media-influenced babbling, the newly sidelined Franck Ribéry has once again written in stone that he will stay in Marseille, at least for the rest of the season. Now, how many weeks until he changes his mind? We just can't wait

Cissé back soon

By Sam | November 15th, 2006

Marseille's medical crew and the hospital where Djibril Cissé was operated have scheduled the Shaquille O'Neal of football's return for early December. He's been training since October 20, but has not yet participated in drills with opponents. Just a rem
