The $80 million man was sent off for the 2nd time this season in Real Madrid’s 2-0 victory over Malaga on Sunday. Ronaldo saw straight red for an elbow to the face of Patrick Mtiliga that broke Mtiliga’s nose and will force the defender to miss about three weeks. The […]
Rants and raves (but mostly rants) about following a 2nd division team. Can we give the Liverpool win back? I’d trade the win over Liverpool for points in the league any day of the week. I was of course ridiculously excited when Reading knocked off Liverpool last week. But if […]
American international Clint Dempsey limped off in the 63rd minute of Blackburn’s 2-0 win over Fulham on Sunday, ESPN reports. Fulham manager Roy Hodgson said Dempsey would have a scan on Monday to determine the extent of the injury, but claimed “it might be a posterior cruciate knee ligament which […]
Rants and raves (but mostly rants) about following a 2nd division team. Saturday’s FA Cup tie with Liverpool was especially enticing for me because not only would we be playing the storied Reds, but that I would also get to watch the game on TV. A draw against a major […]
Bolton Wanderers sacked manager Gary Megson this morning with his side languishing one spot from bottom in the Premier League. The club’s website claimed “Gary Megson has been relieved of his duties as first team manager of Bolton Wanderers with immediate effect. The decision has been taken in the light […]
His second comeback in as many days. The current Inter Milan coach claimed “I love it here, I love it here, I love it here” after taking in his former club’s 2-1 defeat of Fulham at Stamford Bridge on Monday. The ex-Chelsea boss said “I believe I will be back […]

Rants and raves (but mostly rants) about following a 2nd division team. &*#@! Why can’t we win at home? In 12 home games at the Madjeski this season, Reading have one win. Leading 1-0 through Grzegorz Rasaik’s 16th minute header, the Royals surrendered their lead in the 80th minute to […]
Here’s Rocky Baptiste missing from about 1 yard away on an empty net. Luckily his (non league) Harrow Borough side was up 5-3 when he decided that he really didn’t need to pad his individual stats on that day. I think my favorite part is his teammate who is celebrating […]
Brazilian police suspect robbers waited until Sunday, the last day of the Brazilian football season, to pull off a daring robbery of a cash delivery firm. It is thought that the robbers rented a nearby house (posing as residents, even putting up a Christmas tree) and tunneled 490 feet to […]
