Why We Need Megson
I know this will be an unpopular stance to take. Many Bolton fans have been calling for Megson's head since last season, during our dreadful relegation battle. Although I haven't been to the Reebok this season (as much as I love the Wanderers, the 4768 mile commute is just not doable every...
Ryne Sandberg and the terrible secret of Cubs Care
People of Earth-One, I come to you with news of a terrible future—one only you can prevent. In this future I am called C189P235; I am from what we call East West St. Louis, one of five jurisdictions run by what remains of the federal government as burnt-out holding cells for those among us...
Rafa Benitez Is The Top Contender For Aston Villa Manager
Rafa Benitez, former coach of Liverpool and Inter Milan, is thought to be one of the favorites, if not the favorite, to be appointed as Aston Villa manager.

Aston Villa And The Managerial Merry-Go-Round

Aston Villa News: It's All About A Gaffer
I'm of the opinion that I won't believe Gerard Houllier is the next AVFC manager until the club officially tells me so. I've seen it announced everywhere except in an official press release. If It's In L'Equipe, Is It True?: I don't know, but it's on the BBC--the bastion of the British press are...
