In all fairness, the same can’t be said for Marseille, who kicked off their campaign with a bang, beating Besiktas [...]

Never mind the Bollocks, here’s the Goal of the Week! After Aruna Dindane won the last edition with his improbable chip, I’ve got a fresh new batch of crackers for you to choose from.

Things are a bit slow club-wise during the international break (HAHAHAH ENGLAND SUCKS), so bear with me if the newsy bits are not all that captivating during the next little bit. I’m trying out a bit of a new format for these daily (Daily? Feel free to laugh at me.) news posts.

First off, I’m awfully sorry for my absence, it was due to an Internet problem, lots of school bullshit and a lot of laziness and business. But I’m back, buoyed after France’s two super wins in the EURO qualifiers. Here’s what’s making waves today.
