Five Thoughts: No Ya-Ya, no problem? Hmmm...
Part the First: No Ya-Ya, No Problem? As some of you may know, my favorite player in the galaxy is YaYa Toure. I don't know of any other player in the league, other than Wayne Rooney (pause to...
Bye-bye 1975, Hello MD's, Replay and Poll!
Top song from 1975 (most weeks at #1):I think this was stuck in my head for over a decade. 1975 also produced this guy. Hey, I hate ManU with the heat of a nova (sports-hate, that is, so calm...

Pretty goals, Ugly Defense, Uglier Injuries, Poll
Part the First: I'm a City fan and I know this to be true: I swear this is what I wrote in after the first 9(!) minutes of play: "Barely 90 seconds in and we see Joe Hart’s Miracle Save du Jour...
Five Thoughts: Coins, Dives, Balo, Replay, Poll

Mancini Trouble, YaYa's Overuse, 3-5-2 and Poll!
Part the First: Shameless Game Thread Promotion Seriously, why are you not participating in this? All that was missing was Shudder's analysis (I'd pay money to see Shudder and this guy have a...
Tevez, Replay (again!), and not One but Two Polls!
Sorry for being late; had some inclement weather in Los Angeles. A whole half-inch of rain and temps in the 50’s (shut up, that’s cold here). There was a power outage which caused the computer...
Five Thoughts: Silva, Dzeko & Replay
Part the First: The Magic is Back: My mom, one of the folks on the third planet from the sun I’d take a bullet for, said David Silva is her favorite player because, "He’s as big as me and he...
Five Thoughts: "This is a sport for Euros"
The above quote is not mine. The above quote is from a friend who was watching his first soccer match. He is the absolute stereotype of the American sports fan--likes hitting, likes action, likes...
Kissing Sis
Part the First: Before we gab about the game, allow me to scream. Was it just one week ago that Liverpool was robbed of a derby win and we all witnessed Man United once again being graced by the...

Part the First: That's Super Sonic Sub to you, mister! Remember when I wrote that if Dzeko kept up the late-game heroics, Mancini would see him as more valuable coming off the bench? Too late,...
Five Thoughts: That's More Like It!
The way I see it, we had three levels of good going for us today and one level of ugly. To wit: The First Level of the Good: Aleksander Kolarov: The Citizens as currently constituted are an...
