Keeping up with the Thurmans . . .

Since Neal has been posting like a soccer mad crack addict, and getting published by across the pond internet soccer sites as well (congrats by the way), I figure its about time for one of my typical posts of dubious informative value and meaningless drivel . . .

So, as this is my first soccer "offseason" I have a few thoughts:

Is there really an offseason in soccer - this seems all quite mad - my fantasy line-ups are screwed with enough by the resting of players for midweek matches and such, a longer break would clearly help players fantasy value.

Does anyone, Neal not included, really care about all of these cups, matches, games, etc. that have been going on this summer?

Does Neal have an Arsenal "Red Currant" shirt yet? Has the french influence totally overcome the Gunners, the new kit (er, marketing ploy) seems inspired by a type of french wine.

I know for a fact that Neal has a good job that keeps him busy, and also seems to have a somwhat normal social life, so how on earth does he know who the 3rd string goalie is on the 1st place team in the Mandarin Chinese 3rd Division? Does he have 5 satellite feeds each with TiVo?

Will someone please set Andy Johnson free!!!

Is Lauren Robert a complete bad seed, a team chemistry killer, a cancer, a pain in the arse, or is he just french?

How much will Mourinho wine and moan this season when things don't go his way (assuming that they don't all go his way that is)?

Will SWP be the world's most expensive substitute, or does Jose think that Robben is a soft little wussy that won't play injured and runs like a girl?

That's all for now. Congrats again to Neal "Footie" Thurman.
