Here it is. It’s sharp, and classic, evocative of the strips of the glory days of the late 70’s/early 80’s. Check out the mini logos in the fabric–in the circle offset. Photo courtesy of The Onion Bag.

Transfer Talk: Part 1

By: Evan | Comments 11 Comments

So the summer/winter (depending on where you live) transfer window is open. And while they’re not headline making transfers (c. Kaka, Ronaldo, Madrid)…okay, they aren’t anything compared to Man City and Real Madrid.

Bruno Labbadia

By: Chris | Comments 6 Comments

. . .Will be the new trainer. Three sources (Bild, Kicker.de, and the Hamburg Abendblatt) are confirming that Leverkusen have agreed to a €1.3 Million buyout of his contract. Bruno was under contract with Die Werkself  until 2010, and will make about €800,000 per annum through 2012 with HSV, with incentive clauses taking the total into seven figures if Die Rothosen are successful.

Captain David Jarolim has gone on the record as saying HSV need somebody who’s going to kick some ass. And that was Bruno’s problem at Leverkusen. Bruno, unlike BMJ, doesn’t have the reputation as a player’s coach. All I can say is that he better repeat BMJ’s success in the Europa League and the Pokal, and qualify for the Champions League. If HSV really are the 8th best team in the world (and tops in Germany), he should have no problems, right?  :)

Reader Choice Awards, Part II

By: Chris | Comments 3 Comments

Today, you’re voting on the Least Valuable Player.

The blogger’s vote was split:  Evan voted for Thiago Neves; Chris’ pick was Michael Gravgaard.  

The criteria:  A player who played a “significant” number of matches but made little positive impact, or in fact, made a negative impact.

Reader Choice Awards, Part I

By: Chris | Comments 5 Comments

In keeping with last week’s theme of post-season awards, I wanted to allow the readers to vote for their choices for the awards. Up first:  Most Valuable Player. The criteria:  Unlike Player of the Year, MVP is the one guy who alone was most valuable to the side.
