About what you'd expect from a former star in the twilight of his career. He can still punch in some goals, but I wouldn't exactly call him a clutch player for LA.
And yea man that Cisse goal was out of this world. Luck definitely had a bit to do with it, but it was still unbelievable. |

Keane's only 31. He's certainly on the decline but still not old, really, even for a player who started at 17.
Like in the NBA people think Tony Parker is old. He's 29. Or Dirk, who's 31.

Twilight doesn't come at any certain age. When you're floating among multiple teams in only a couple years, you're most certainly on your way out. *cough* Freddie Ljungberg *cough*

Yeah he's probably in his twilight. I just think it's crazy how young that happens. Like, in five years I'll be 31, and I hope nobody says I'm in my twilight, I haven't even Dr. Garbanzoured my shit out yet.

What's craziest here is... Should Chelsea finish in 5th or 6th overall (because they probably won't finish in 4th) but win the 2012 Champions League final against Bayern Munich, they'll be given the Premiership's 4th 2013 Champions League spot - essentially, booting the team that finishes 4th overall out of the 2013 Champions League campaign. Shitty. Of course, if they lose the Final, then none of it really matters.
Naturally, here's how I want things to play out... 1. Arsenal win their next two games, securing the top three spot. 2. Tottenham loses their next two games... and then every game they ever play thereafter. 3. Newcastle ties one and loses the other, giving Newcastle the top four spot. 4. Chelsea loses the Champions League final... and then please see #2.

That would be a perfect finish. Who would you rather see take the top spot? I am going for Man City myself. I love to hate Man U for no good reason

Pea i think that I may have seen you at the game. Were you in the southwest corner and have a Cyan jersey on at half?

Normally, I would be all in favor of any team not named Man Utd winning it all - but seeing as the other team in discussion is Man City, I just can't bring myself to be okay with City winning it. Their ownership is almost as more irritating greedy than Chelsea's. Man Utd winning it all is pretty fucking annoying but Man City winning the premiership is just bad for the game. In my opinion at least.
Also... Fuck Samir Na$ri.

Sounders game tonight totally slipped off of the radar for me. What a good surprise! Loving the fact that they have so many games to play this month. I also was worried about it until last weekend. Our depth is pretty damn impressive. Go Sounders!

Mid-week matches are such a treat! Dallas is pretty depleted too, so I'm feeling good about this one.

BOOM BITCHES!!!
2nd place in the league with three games in hand going up against the 1st place team on Saturday. We're undefeated in our last six and have won our last five. We got this shit!
