One I Missed

2
I came across this the other day but forgot to post it. Newly minted left back Matt Marquess gets some props from Jeff Carlisle at ESPNSoccernet.com for his play late in the year for our boys in blue. Carlisle says if he keeps it up, his name just might be in the mix for rookie of the year at season's end. Click to continue reading...

Carlisle 2-1 Southend United

1
Southend United dropped into the League One relegation zone after their third consecutive league defeat.

The return leg of the 630-mile round trip will seem like a lifetime to the hardy Blues fans who trudged up to Brunton Park in some terrible weather conditions, and will face similiar problems coming back south. Click to continue reading...

Guardian - Steve Claridge - Scouting Report: Emmanuel Ledesma
The Queens Park Rangers' midfielder is a versatile and entertaining talent although he has yet to adjust to the physical side of the game

The first thing that strikes you about Emmanuel Ledesma is that he is very much a reflection of the Queens Park Rangers team, in the way he plays the game and the positions he takes up. Click to continue reading...

Carlisle Tonight:
QPR play Carlisle tonight at Loftus Road in the Second Round of the Carling Cup. Games against Carlisle always evoke memories of one of QPR's greatest-ever players Stan Bowles, who QPR signed from Carlisle in September 1972 for a then-record fee of 110,000 pounds. Click to continue reading...

Previewing Primetime

I'm covering this week for the usual ESPN Thursday Primetime writer, Jeff Carlisle. My preview went up earlier today. If it seems heavy on Chivas USA - quotes, well, their players were available yesterday and the Galaxy didn't practice or have any media availability until today. I mean, it's not as if I could use my old Ruud Gullit quotes. Click to continue reading...

U.S. beats Japan 1-0 in Olympic opener

1
I stayed up to 2 a.m. my time to watch the start of this one. Sadly after a listless first half I couldn't stay up to watch the second.

I hear Stuart Holden (above) banged home the winner in the 47th minute.

ESPN's Carlisle and SI's Wahl have some more info for ya.

A couple things that stood out: Altidore and Feilhaber benched, Edu kicks ass, Adu was lost and McBride was just, eh. Click to continue reading...

Neven Subotic: Borussia Dortmund's $5 American Man

10
Hello young world. I've got loads of stuff on my plate and I am going to be busier than a one-legged man in an ass kicking contest today so the post will be brief. Not that you'd ever expect any Spangler-esque epic's from me.

So with that I give you this piece from Jeff Carlisle on prodigal son Neven Subotic; there is more to his story than ill-advised corn rows and a U-20's snub. Click to continue reading...

Swamp Thing

2
Anyone who watches Sky Sports News in the mornings will be all too aware that pre-season friendlies are well underway now, but genuinely, does anyone really care if their youth team is playing Carlisle or whatever? Exactly. So while writing reports chronicling how my fantastic 5-a-side team is doing in the East London Wednesday Power League was good for a while (well, a week) it's time to look elsewhere I think, to a considerably better style of football.

This is not a Leeds-baiting article. Far from it, COS thinks it's a damn shame what's been allowed to happen to this football club over the past few seasons, which has resulted in a double relegation, administration, desperation, frustration and now consolidation.
