"Earlier this week, UK Anti-Doping revealed that Hamilton midfielder Simon Mensing had served a month-long suspension after failing a drugs test in seemingly similar circumstances. The 28-year-old tested positive for the stimulant methylhexaneamine, which was present in a dietary supplement."

just curious to see if a star will get the same treatment...

I guess we'll have to wait and see if a "star" gets caught taking a diet pill then, right

Touche! or should I say, Toure!

Anyway...I was thinking today. I'm starting to get back into writing and trying to explore various outlets to do it. I know there are a gazillion soccer blogs and sites out there, but many seem to be based in Europe (for obvious reason). There are some sharp witted folks who post in this thread, I was wondering if it would be feasible to start a site with several contributors from TWW who are all US based European soccer fans. The goal would be to make the sport more accessible to US fans and people who didn't grow up in the soccer culture.

Just an idea I thought I would throw out to see if anyone is interested. This might never come to fruition but if there is enough interest I'll do what I can to make it happen.

nah

I just like bitching about United on message boards

3/4/2011 3:51:29 PM

^^ I'm interested for sure. I actually wanted to start a soccer blog a few years back and asked in the 07/08 thread if anyone else was interested in writing for it and no one replied

^^^^I'd be interested too. Don't really have a background with writing or blogging but I'd be willing to learn and start.

3/4/2011 8:05:31 PM

I'd be interested in writing some as well.

3/4/2011 8:21:54 PM

i've blogged soccer a little bit, but i'm only interested in discussing the career of houston dyanmo star brian ching right now.

3/4/2011 8:22:08 PM

Cool glad to see some interest. Gimme a week or so to try to get some of the details ironed out and we can give it a go.

3/4/2011 10:09:11 PM

lololol to aimorris' Trailer Park Boys reference on the last page.

If I had the time or initiative, I'd totally edit together a video of SAF bitching and Lahey's rants about crying shitwolf.

Also, I'd be in for writing extremely sarcastic and/or sardonic articles, so long as they were sans deadlines.

Gotta get paid to write under pressure.

Also, also, Ian Darke is by far my favorite soccer pundit/commentator/Englishman...

except for Alexi Lalas.

This thread just inspired me to watch the piss jugs episode of TPB.

thank you EPL thread

3/5/2011 9:10:00 AM

I'm definitely rooting for Arsenal in the CL and in the EPL. So many injuries and I'd like to see them end their trophy drought...

Good to finally see West Ham playing a bit more consistently. Thank God...

[Edited on March 5, 2011 at 11:45 AM. Reason : arsenal getting fucked hard here]

3/5/2011 11:15:26 AM

The refs are screwing arse lol

3/5/2011 11:45:30 AM

I would say they deserved a goal, but Sunderland actually didn't go all defense either so I can't be too disappointed. It was certainly as fun a second half as a goalless draw can have.

3/5/2011 11:53:33 AM

super lols to Villa for giving up that lead.. GOOD THING THEY RESTED ALL THOSE PLAYERS IN THE FA CUP

fucking dumbass Houlier

3/5/2011 11:55:50 AM

ArseLOL

3/5/2011 12:07:35 PM

that villa bolton game was fun to watch, villa really blew it though.

props to stu holden, he looked awesome out there

3/5/2011 12:07:49 PM

wigan keeper fail

I'm still holding out hope for a draw

3/5/2011 1:13:04 PM

Found a few other blogs that are about the EPL (and/or other European leagues) written by Americans in the US

http://www.yankscallitsoccer.com/
http://futbolforyanks.com/
http://www.yanksarecoming.com/

Haven't had time to read through all of them yet, but there don't seem to be that many.

Name suggestions or other thoughts??

But I mean really, why should a manager have to walk on eggshells because the Referee fucked up?

still no rio...thank god for smalling

[Edited on March 6, 2011 at 8:17 AM. Reason : Rio Glassinand]

3/6/2011 8:06:53 AM

Nani has to be the key to this game


and we need to find a CB to back up Vidic consistently, since it looks like Rio's out for life and Smalling will be playing from now on

3/6/2011 8:38:42 AM

Whatchu trying to say bout Wes Brown???

3/6/2011 8:45:30 AM

what a strike by berbatov...man that was close

3/6/2011 8:46:59 AM

damn, wrong side of the post from Berbs

3/6/2011 8:47:18 AM

That would have been like one of those stupid ridiculous FIFA goals you score and then just point in the face of whoever you're playing against.

3/6/2011 8:48:09 AM

scholes refusing to track back on d allowing meireles to setup some dangerousness there


wow wes brown was being hauled down on that corner...whatever happened to refs calling that shit this year?

[Edited on March 6, 2011 at 8:56 AM. Reason : f]

3/6/2011 8:49:27 AM

Krreoigeroaiexzkos fucking mugged big bad Wes Brown on that corner


of course no call

3/6/2011 8:56:52 AM

berbatov's control is stupidly ridiculous


berbs was onside there. didnt matter though, shot was blazed over

[Edited on March 6, 2011 at 8:59 AM. Reason : f]

3/6/2011 8:58:29 AM

HE WAS NOT OFF

3/6/2011 8:59:33 AM

Carrick has been no where in this game.

3/6/2011 9:02:10 AM

how in the world is that a foul??


this will prob turn out to be a goal...

[Edited on March 6, 2011 at 9:03 AM. Reason : f]

3/6/2011 9:02:45 AM

um he kicked his stomach

3/6/2011 9:03:22 AM

Scholes put his studs right into Lucas' mid-section.

3/6/2011 9:03:48 AM

OH SHIT

3/6/2011 9:04:30 AM

SUAREZ JUST FUCKING OWNED THEM

3/6/2011 9:04:36 AM

wow what a goal produced by suarez...not sure how that ball got across VDS

they kicked each other, on that foul earlier, both were in the air

[Edited on March 6, 2011 at 9:05 AM. Reason : f]

3/6/2011 9:04:45 AM

damn Suarez

I hate u but that was nice

3/6/2011 9:05:08 AM

If Kuyt hadn't knocked that one in, it probably would have been a goal anyway.

3/6/2011 9:05:44 AM

fucking ogre looking motherfucker
