And Now the News
When Chelsea Buy Local Produce They Let It Rot-The Spoiler
Hmmmm, that is a long, looong list of players poached from local clubs whose careers turned to dodo as soon as they made the move to Chelsea. Perhaps Luka Modric should take some time and think about where he wants to play one more time. Just saying, statistically he is very likely to have his career ruined.
Cartilage Free Prospect?-Sky Sports
Sandro will undergo knee surgery but could be back in time for opening day. That's great news when it comes to knee injuries, but let's not rush him back. I don't care if we need him for the Manchester United game. Take it slow with him.

Sports Minister Claims Spurs Must Drop Stadium Fight For The Good Of The Nation-The Independent

What's happening around SB Nation after the jump
John Feinstein Doesn't Think Soccer Is A Sport, Is An Asshole About It-SB Nation Soccer
Mr. Feinstein, let me speak directly to you for a minute. We get it. You don't like soccer, just like many many other crotchety old school American sports writers. You are not alone, at least in the community of sports writers, and that's okay, but do not insult our intelligence. Nobody likes being lied to in such a poor way, on top of being insulted. You insulted millions of American soccer fans with your remarks, and that's okay. But please, stop blowing smoke up our asses with your nonsensical reasoning when you do it. You only look like an idiot.
