MARSHALL STAYS, BAD MOVE

Written by:

Lets start with the understanding that I am a Crew fan. I was at the first game in Ohio Stadium and went to multiple games this season. Having Chad Marshall on the Crew is nothing but a positive. Chad was MLS Defender of the Year for a reason and every team in MLS would take [...]

GERRARD BEAT A GUY’S FACE OFF

Written by:

Blimey, I just read Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard has been arrested for assault.

CREW LOGO MARCHES ON

Written by:

My proposed refresh of the Columbus Crew’s logo has become unexpectedly controversial. I’ve had feedback of all kinds, ranging from enthusiastic support, constructive criticism, and (the most entertaining) inconsequential condescending ignorance. Shall we? “Awesome! We need a new logo.” Thanks. Join the Facebook group! “NO!!! THIS IS RETARDED! WHAT A STUPID IDEA!!! NEVER CHANGE THE [...]
