Paul Gardner on the marked absence of star signings post-Beckham.
David Conn on the paradox of Manchester City and Premiership riches.
Robert Philip on former Ipswich great Kevin Beattie.
Trevor Brocking bemoans the lack of investment by Premiership clubs in English youngsters.
Gabriele Marcotti sees similarities between Helen Mirren and Milan – honestly! You read it right - Helen Mirren not St. Mirren.
And Marcotti again, this time on Ivan Klasnic’s need for a second kidney transplant.
The youtube goal - Yuri Zhirkov’s goal for CSKA Moscow against Hamburg wasn’t bad.
The blog was fizzing last week – thank you Flashman!! It was however, getting a bit personal at times and if we can keep it to opinions it would be appreciated.
And seeing that we have the Champions League this week here is something to consider. Since the second group stage was scrapped and replaced by a knock out round only 6 out of 24 ties have been won by the team playing at home first.
I am the soccer analyst for the Fox Soccer Report and appear twice a week - every Monday and Friday at 10:00 EST. I have also been a regular contributor to the Fox Soccer Channel website since the summer of 2004. Over the last twenty years I have contributed to various radio and television programs throughout North America as well writing about the game for newspapers, magazines and websites.
Thank you to all who take time to visit this blog and especially to those of you who post your comments and thoughts.
PS - If you have questions please post them on the regular Monday blog. I am unable to answer e mails posted to the inbox on this site.
And one more thing. If you have questions or complaints or compliments about programming please contact Fox Soccer Channel or Fox Sports World Canada directly. I have no control over what the stations televise.
