So, as the year ends (not the world…yet), I have reflected upon my nascent blogging career. I am incredibly grateful to Ahmed of Soccerlens and RR of Redrants for the guidance and help with the wordpress migration, akin to the 19th century California Gold Rush both in scope and bloodbathery.
I also have, well, kinda skanked [...]
Very few people realize that in addition to walking his dogs, managing lower tier English teams, and glaring at reporters, Roy Keane follows the Premiership avidly and is a keen reader of classic literature. Recently, he was impressed by a robust and tenacious Fernando Torres and shared a few thoughts with us on “el nino” [...]
Yes. You know what this little fist means. I’m just gonna skip the Godpseed reference and say it – I wrote a guestpost for Fistedaway. Again. And this one concerns the Association of Soccer Stoppers – and their vociferous objections to the world cup ball. Emphasis on ball. Read here.

Christmas time has descended upon my chaotic household like mist upon a port city. Good cheer pervades every rincon despite the SAD-inducing perpetual overcast. We have casted away the false idols of Rudolph, Frosty, and the kinda creepy Keebler Elf. Instead, we have focused hardcore on the big man behind the Roman Catholic [...]
This morning I checked my email and an unread message warmed my heart. It was from Pusky!
I hadn’t heard from Puskas (or been shaken awake) in about a month. Granted, in that time I had only received the occasional tweet, but certainly you would expect the apparition of an iconic footballer to send a postcard [...]
So it’s been a few months since Fredo last guestposted here at Futfantico, but a recent ESPN soccernet article lit the creative spark. After I made Fredo aware of such audacious fashion analysis in the name of big media, a series of electronic communications and posturing ensued, a bit like two cocks strutting about [...]
What did you want for Chrismas? A new Ipod? A new laptop? Well, the mid and lower table sides in the Premiership, nay, the world, really wanted something much simpler – a coherent enforcement mechanism to punish guilty parties. If Justice without Power is impotence, then power without justice is tyranny. And this Christmas, the Chelsea [...]
So, you brushed off your espanol with last week’s thievery post, but now I have a bit of hazy-maze-puzzle for you. A feminist friend sent me a link lamenting that a women footy club in Naquera, Spain, faced with severe financial difficulties, did the unthinkable – they pulled off a Brandi Chastain…in calendar form.
Allegedly, the [...]
The long and arduous Premiership journey has reached the halfway point, as a handful of teams gaze upon the summit and the rest fear a crashing fall back to Earth. But how can we quantify such a qualitative championship? With our best efforts, that’s how. And a little inspiration.
David Bowie’s glower has already helped us [...]
