Dempsey must be thrilled to have gotten on in the 88th minute in Fulham's loss to Everton!

Beckster, lol.
You would think after how much strikers like McBride gave to Fulham he might give Dempsey a shot. Down with Hodgeson.

Yea what the hell is Hodgson's problem. All bias aside, Dempsey has looked really good the last few games while the other starters have looked poor. Not to mention Dempsey was one of there best players last year. Hodgson needs to get his head out of his ass and start playing Dempsey

Dempsey needs to get out of there...he has been really good lately for both Fulham and MNT and he is going to lose it if he doesn't play. I gotta believe someone is going to pick him up in the January transfer window.

speaking of not playing, Rangers ahead 3 to 0 so hopefully Beasley will get some playing time today.
Posted by: beckster | November 01, 2008 at 11:48 AM
ok...it's 5 to 0 at the half for the Rangers. Let's put on Beaz and Edu!
Posted by: beckster | November 01, 2008 at 11:52 AM
I'm really starting to lose faith with Wenger
Posted by: Ryan | November 01, 2008 at 12:41 PM
Well Beasley got in 74th min. Nothing for Edu.
Yep...what's up with Arsenal? Stoke?
Marcus looks like he gets cleansheet. 4 to 0 in 90th. Convey missing in action.
Posted by: beckster | November 01, 2008 at 12:57 PM
take that back...final seconds of stoppage and Marcus lets one through
Posted by: beckster | November 01, 2008 at 12:58 PM
Hodgsons children must die!!!!!
Posted by: Bill and Ted | November 01, 2008 at 02:36 PM
YES YES YES YES YES YES YYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!
Jozy gets on and about 7 seconds later scores!
Posted by: Nick | November 01, 2008 at 04:49 PM
Well Done Jozy!

Yessss. A legend is born. He should definitely be proud of himself. If he can get minutes as a super sub, then that is beautiful :D Go Jozy

Hoffenheim was awesome today. I thought they were one of the most entertaining teams I have seen this season.

Anyone see the Bayern game today and Ribbery's disgusting dive in the box to get a penalty kick. It made me change the channel I was so angry. It's obvious refs cannot alleviate this problem- all the leagues need to collectively fine players for dives even if it is allowed in the game. If the NFL can fine players for illegal hits even if it was not called a foul on the field then so should soccer.

RUBIN KAZAN ARE CHAMPS!
The most intersting year in a long time in the Russian Premier League has its champ. CSKA lost to Spartak and Rubin won at Saturn, giving Rubin a 10 point lead with 3 matches left.
Congrats Rubin.
