As I write this, hundreds of thousands of Europeans (and followers of European clubs) are going mad with transfer window rage. We really missed that in the recent transfer window — rumors did flit about wildly at times, but there wasn’t…
There's not exactly a slew of team news coming at the moment, though our first home match in some time is rapidly approaching — praise be on high! — though it'll be without a number of our first-choice players. In fact, that number,…
We’re all still buzzing off that win, right? That one had all the right elements: Adversity, exciting runs of play, staunch defending, tactical inventiveness. As a result, we were handed a bit of a vintage match, showcasing why exactly it…
