http://video.uk.msn.com/watch/video/soccer-player-distracts-opposing-goalie/1j41kao4h A great day for English soccer. Really moving-up in the world.

Feel dirty watching this game. Dog fighting is more wholesome.

Predicting a comfortable 0-0 win for San Marino tonight.

Baines needs to cut his fucking hair.

Roy describing San Marino: "This is a bonafide team playing in a bonafide tournament." Ever the diplomat.

Can we safely say that Ashley is better than the Venky's now? I remember there being a little debate on here about whether they were shitter than Mike. Yikes. Easily the worst ownership in the football league.

Which English players haven't been included who absolutely deserve to be there though? Can't think of many. They could do a better job at constructing a better team though, even if that means benching better players. Not sure if that's what you're getting at.

Dunno, but the Sun's being a little generous calling McManaman a "star."

Yup. Infinitely better than the template we've had for the last few seasons, like a kit for a Sunday league.

Warrior doing God's work, putting out shit Liverpool kits. Amazing how Celtic get nearly the same damn kit every year from Nike. Their hoops are as iconic as our stripes, and yet Puma seems to hire a 6-year old to design ours.

paul joannou's books on the club are normally decent. i also have a soft spot for the newcastle united fc story by john gibson (mainly details the fairs cup run)

Not USMNT per se, but Bob Bradley's Egypt has a WCQ against Zimbabwe next Tuesday. So far 0-4 in 2013, but only friendlies and against the likes of Ghana, Cote d'Ivoire, Chile (and Qatar). Currently first in their qualifying group. Pretty remarkable what he's been able to do, all things considered. Bradley's become one of the most widely respected men in the country, likely because he's worked hard in the community as well. Egypt will erupt (in a good way) if the national team manages to qualify for the WC. Feel good story, especially as the U.S. squad is currently in such dire straits.

Can anyone recommend some good books about NUFC (history, player autobiographies, etc.)?

Honestly couldn't care less about this saga anymore. Thanks for your service, time to move on.

What a sad sad state of affairs. Could be so much worse, man. You could be starting Jermaine Jones or Maurice Edu in central midfield.

Guy's got dragon sinew in his legs if he can escape a challenge like that with only bruising.
