November 18, 2008 - The latest shock tactic in sports gear has been unveiled by Nike: the pink soccer cleat - for men! So what guy is brave enough to put in a shocking pink performance? A guy very sure of himself - who's fast as a whippet and capable of scoring a hat-trick every game. Or [...] Click to continue reading...

This is: More specifically, that monstrosity that is third from left. Seriously, I know Nike uses Oregon as their test bed for every bad jersey idea they've ever had, but what ballplayer would go out wearing that? This makes the Blanche de Castille rugby shirt look understated. Though it will make beanball wars in the PAC 10 [. Click to continue reading...

Just like soccer fans in this country, good soccer clothing you know, for us by us is limited. Beyond the jerseys and team swag there is little in the way of fashion that doesn't involve a synthetic warm-up suit. Thankfully, the boys over at The Original Winger are back with their Bumpy Pitch fashion line. Click to continue reading...

This is the home shirt of Paris' top rugby team, Stade Francais. According to the Guardian, this Warhol-esque design features Blanche de Castille - wife of Louis VIII and mother to Louis IX. This latest shirt from the club and its publicity-hungry president comes on the heels of  other attention-grabbers including bright pink away shirts, brown [. Click to continue reading...

The title comes from the letters of a "Suede" song ("She´s In Fashion"), a band very in the mode & "Chic"during its hey-day. Seems that "glitter" is raining on Argentine International &...

Perry Boys is a memoir written by Ian Hough and covers the 'Casual' gangs of Manchester and Salford. However, if you're thinking that this is simply another book on hooligan culture, you're quite wrong. Hough takes the reader on a journey into the subculture of fashion that defined many of the soccer gangs of the [. Click to continue reading...

At Arsenal, youth is served. And keeping in that fashion, the boss has named a side of 13 teenagers for today's fixture against Sheffield United. It comes as no surprise, as this has been his approach to the Cup, the fourth highest priority for Wenger.

In my attempt at player news, Jack Wilshere may get his first start, but he isn't even the youngest, as Emmanuel Frimpong is nine days younger.

As Ted pointed out yesterday, there is certainly no cause for concern as regards our financial situation, and given the global financial disarray that is excellent news indeed. If our club had been run a la Risdale we could be in a very different position to our current one that looks both solid and secure. Click to continue reading...

One of the major reasons for which Liverpool chose Olympiakos as Sebastian Leto's destination for a year on loan was the possibility of the Argentine winger to play in the Champions League.

That didn't last long with the Greeks knocked out at the final qualifying round. Still, there's still the UEFA Cup as consolation and Leto has started that in brilliant fashion scoring the second in Olympiakos' 2-0 away win at FC Nordsjaelland. Click to continue reading...

It would be hard to have many complaints after such a convincing performance away to Blackburn yesterday. To be fair to Blackburn 4-0 does not tell the entire story, things could have been a little different if certain chances had been taken, however only a lunatic would claim that Arsenal didn't deserve the sound victory.

Blogger-in-arms & fellow Designated Player Adam Spangler spent a mess of time in London at the tail end of last season with Clint Dempsey. They were getting mobbed by school kids and rolling through SW6 to a soundtrack straight out of Houston's 5th Ward. If only I was there, then it would have been truly ridiculous.

With New England and Chivas going out last night in the CONCACAF Champions League in embarrassing fashion, it got me thinking of a new poll for the site.

That's what a certain newspaper is claiming today in typically overblown fashion. While it's common to see clubs withdraw players ahead of international friendly matches (Sir Alex Ferguson has made this into an art form), it's less common to see them do this for World Cup qualifying fixtures. Nevertheless, never let . Click to continue reading...

An opening day loss in the northeast against one of the Premier League's weaker sides, followed by a home defeat to a team we've had a decent home record against in recent years. Déjà vu? This season has started in the same abject fashion for Tottenham as the previous one did. After last week's poor start to the season, I bit my lip. Click to continue reading...

English league football returned in glorious fashion last weekend and was swiftly followed by the Premier League, note FA lawyers - I did not say Premiership, on Saturday just gone. It's that exciting part of August as all major European leagues are resuming after the winter break.  Pre-season tournaments such as Feynoord, Ajax and Arsenal ones [. Click to continue reading...

Are Manchester City fans getting fatter or are they requesting baggier shirts for fashion reasons?! I think the former. The above image is taken from Man City's online shop. If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting! Bookmark to: Click to continue reading...

A slight sigh of relief was heard around Upton Park. Three points gained thanks to Dean Ashton and his brace. In typical Hammers fashion though they took their foot off of the accelerator, as they did so many times last season, and tried to coast to a victory - a plan that did not go [...] Click to continue reading...

Yes it's that time of year, the start of the 2008-09 English Premier League. In his usual fashion Bill Turianski gives us a visual overview of what we'll be seeing - a map of England overlaid with the 20 club logos sized proportional to attendance and located according to, well, their location. A list of each club's average attendance last season is also included plus some visual profiles of each club on the right hand side - kit, logo, last season's finish, titles and much more.

This is the year Lyon is supposed to go down, with Bordeaux and Marseille lining up as the hopeful victors. Well, if Marseille ends up winning they'll be doing so in one of the worst kits in history. Somebody - Helen Keller maybe? - has decided that a good choice of fashion this year would [...] Click to continue reading...

Just came back from the Dynamo/Columbus game. Like I said up top, an old-fashioned beat down. (Here's a running account from Bernardo Fallas.)

Columbus was not without chances in the second half, but that's why Pat Onstad, bless his 40+-year-old Canadian self, is still one of the top keepers ever to play in this league, to stop those chances cold, and in the most dispiriting fashion possible. Click to continue reading...

Manchester United fans rallied behind Cristiano Ronaldo following the dreadful behaviour he received in this country after the World Cup 06. The press, football fans, rival players and pundits were all after him, criticising and berating him, in quite shocking fashion. This country became obsessed with him and that obsession is still present two years [. Click to continue reading...

Is Juan Toja about to play his final match as a MLS player?

Rumor has it that the longhair midfielder will fly to Romania tonight, after the All-Star match, to finish a deal with Romanian powerhouse Steaua Bucharest.

Then again, it is just a rumor. Accord to FCD coach Schellas Hyndman, "I expect him here to play against LA (on Sunday). Click to continue reading...

Manchester United beat Orlando Pirates 1-0 in tonights Vodacom Challenge game in South Africa. Lee Martin was the goalscorer in a game that ended in rather drab fashion. How did our players rate? Carlos Tevez had the first best chance of the game, striking the ball early on five minutes, which nearly caught out the keeper, but [. Click to continue reading...

LET'S ENUMERATE THE SUCK: The news of Perralta and Gallardo needing to go out for hernia surgery does suck, as that injury seems to plague this team somehow. The news that Carvallo has been released moderately sucks, in that it indicates our lack of depth not just in defense but in the keeper position as well.
