I'm no fan of shared tragedy, as you've read here before. Still, it is very sad when someone at the top of his game chooses to throw himself in front of a train.

Eggnog is a cheat!
Wow.. look at the replay at different angles. That dive gave the penalty that Gerrard took successfully and ended the match 2-2. That point might make a difference between 4th and 5th place. Or Rafa keeping his job--making his welcome worn out for an additional year!
Speaking of a different Benitez, doesn't Chucho look the business? Birmingham are not going to hold onto him too long.
Thanks to the awesome Off The Post for the above video.
quick hit: more girls behaving badly
This is from an American Girls' High School Championship in Rhode Island. There's a fight on the pitch and then a fight on the stands. amazing

well well well
I think it's high time to restate my prediction from earlier this season. Manchester City will finish 10th and Chelsea will win the League. This weekend has proven to be in line with my predictions.

Fantastic Blog I've never seen before
Over the past 3 years or so, I've amassed a huge collection of football blog links in my google reader. I mean, I spend 2-3 hours a day scrolling through football blogs, which could be why I never get around to writing my own.
FootieGeeza (my now ex) even said this to me the other day:
it's ridiculous how often i click on random links on soccer or philadelphia things and there's a comment from [you] prominently displayed
It's just how I roll.
Anyway, I was messing around on the internets and I found a great (new to me) blog Football and Music First off, it has a picture of my lust object, Phil Brown (as mentioned in TheFiver), in the Masthead. Secondly, it combines two of my passions.
It's irreverent and just all around hilarious. As of today, on the front page are links to songs by Kevin Keegan (from Kevin Keegan SINGS my fave album cover ever almost) and Terry Venables.
Here's a preview of what you're in store for:
How can you not love that shit? This blog is for teh lulz.
AWWWWW
From the awesomely named Bert Trautmann's Neck
Doesn't it just warm the cockles of your heart, City Fans? Especially after 4 consecutive draws?

YAWN
I've taken a Glendenning like stance on the Champion's League right now. Boooring! I am actually disappointed that English teams drawing is what passes for excitement around these parts.
Fuck.that.noise kids. Man United coming back from behind to draw 3-3 at home is not a giant slaying--it's a cot damned travesty.
In some fantastic news today friend of the blog Some People are on the Pitch reached the 1,000 post mark today. Chris and Co have been long time readers of this drivel through various names and non-posting moods. Plus the blog is funny as all get out too!

Back to a favorite subject: making fun of Liverpool.
You all know my love/hate relationship with Liverpool (and my soft spot for scousers apparently). I can't give up a chance to poke a little fun. It's so easy: over emotional, over sentimental with paranoid victimisation complexes. That said, when they're doing well (or beating Manchester United) I can't help but cheer them on a bit for the same exact reasons.
So football365.com has given some shocking stats with regard just how much trouble Liverpool are in.
Liverpool
* Only six Premier League teams - Burnley, Wigan, Birmingham, Blackburn, Hull and Portsmouth - have lost more league games than Liverpool this season.
* Liverpool have conceded twice as many goals as at the same stage last season.
* Fernando Torres has scored 45 goals in 68 Premier League games for Liverpool at an average of two goals every three games.
* Liverpool had 64% of the possesion at Fulham but managed only one shot on target - Torres' goal. ...
* Bottom club Pompey have conceded fewer goals than Liverpool this season.
It all makes one wonder just how long they'll stay towards the top of the table. Hull were doing brilliantly last year until December. Oh my god, Liverpool fans will persecute me for comparing them with Hull.
While tagging this post I realised I have a "Teams that will surely beat Liverpool" tag. Oh this is a long standing tradition round these parts.

Sky Sports | Football News | Match Report | Man Utd v Liverpool - 14th March 2009
Holy God. I am more than a strong Liverpool sympathizer, as regular readers (that are still around) will know. How exciting is this result? Even for the neutrals! It puts the title race back on~!

My football schadenfreude is kicking in

14 Million Pound Waste of Space
Amateur golfer, karaoke ethusiast, and world renowned diplomat, Craig Bellamy scored for Manchester City on his debut yesterday. 
To me, this is the most hilarious thing ever. I wonder if he'll stay with City after we get relegated

Happy New Year!
Everyone who knows me knows that I love the FA Cup. I'm not going to go on about how sad it is big clubs field softer sides for Cup ties because it's been done ad nauseam. All of the stupid nonsense on the television about Giant Killing and "everyone turns up for the Cup" is the kind of shit I eat up and love about it.
I was watching Soccer Saturday (which I LOVE during the FA Cup), and Stelling's reaction to Hartlepool going 2-0 up over Stoke was classic. Forest's 3-0 thrashing of City, while personally upsetting, is exactly what makes the FA Cup fantastic to watch.
I am just glad there are more matches on television here now. You don't get many opportunities to watch Gillingham in the US.

Setanta Sports on Comcast
If you want Setanta Sports added to comcast this is how you do it:
How To Get Setanta Sports On Comcast Cable | EPL Talk
I just spoke with a source inside Comcast Cable who confirmed that their head office in Philadelphia has signed a contract with Setanta Sports so that local Comcast Cable companies have the green light to add the (station).
*snip*
To find the contact information for your local Comcast Cable provider, visit the Cable Provider Locator tool and enter your zip code. The locator tool also includes pre-written e-mails to send to your local provider.
So go and do that already.

anti - soccerball commercial that's been making the rounds
eh, it just seems silly to portray soccer fans as white ass geeks that 95% of them are, when these white ass geeks are the only ones with money to buy your shitty tv.
Also, Nascar is stupid and Payton Manning sucks.

Excuse me while I clean up my spat out water
My information is that Hackett told Mark Halsey to rescind the red card [of John Terry] and he would not do it. Now I understand that Halsey is being made to referee in the Second Division this weekend. I just don’t understand how this could have happened. If it had been a Manchester United player, Hackett would never have done this for us.” - Sir Alex Ferguson.
While we and Pedro Mendes know that is not true, this was a crazy tackle:
It kind of reminds me of this with it's use of Rugby in football
