Written by: Gabe

A movement is afoot on Facebook to replace The Columbus Crew’s aging logo with this version at left. I think it is totally sweet. OK, I started it. Here are the details: I’m a designer. I’m a soccer player. I’m a Columbus native. And I love the Crew. After The Crew brought the MLS Cup [...]

GUNNED

Written by: Gabe

Arsenal 2-1 Chelsea Arsenal scored 3 goals in a 2-1 win over Chelsea at the Bridge. Many of you have surmised that one of these was an own goal, and was indeed the first of two trashy goals scored in this match. The first was the own-goal from Djourou that was frankly the fault of [...]

WHAT THE?…THE PREM, ROUND 14

Written by: tyler ransburgh

WHAT THE? is my weekly Premiership review with only the interesting events that should not have happened in the first place. This was the round of ties in the Prem. Quite a boring week unless you are a Arsenal fan. Manchester United tied Aston Villa 0-0 Chelsea tied Newcastle 0-0 Liverpool tied Fulham 0-0. (ouch) [...]

Written by: tyler ransburgh

American cupcake Landon Donovan is going to join Bayern Munich in the January transfer window. Donovan only agreed to a loan deal till March 15, 2009, much like the deal David Beckham signed with AC Milan. So he will be returning to LA three months after he goes to Munich. We have seen what happens [...]

TRAGIC!!!!!!

Written by: Gabe

Due to a total lack of awareness, respect, compassion, sympathy, and indeed humanity on the part of an acquaintance, I will miss most or all of the live coverage of the MLS Cup today due to my commitment to fulfill usher duties at her wedding. If only it was Super Bowl Sunday and I liked [...]

WHAT THE?…THE PREM, ROUND 13

Written by: tyler ransburgh

WHAT THE? is my weekly Premiership review with only the interesting events that should not have happened in the first place. While not a surprise, Manchester United beat Stoke 5-0. What you would have missed was the insane goals scored by Man U in this game. Three of the five goals were scored from 20+ [...]

A CONFUSING FIRST HALF

Written by: Gabe

RBNY 1-0 RSL I sat down to watch the Western Conference finals hoping Real Salt Lake would win. I felt The Crew had a better chance against RSL in the final. I’ll admit my position was somewhat influenced by the gravity of New York… a big city with many commendable teams. Salt Lake City? Might [...]

WHAT THE?…THE PREM, ROUND 12

Written by: tyler ransburgh

WHAT THE? is my weekly Premiership review with only the interesting events that should not have happened in the first place. Another boring week in the Prem with just a few games that are worth mentioning. Tottenham continued undefeated under Redknapp as Tottenham beat newly minted Man City 2-1. This win brings Tottenham out of [...]
