Random Thoughts
January 15th, 2008 . 4:59 pm . By: DJ WalkerNot only am I having serious FC Dallas withdrawals, I don’t even have Fox Soccer Channel or GolTV right now, because of the inability of the Dish Network contractor to attach a dish to my house. What gives? Random Thoughts: * Sam Allardyce: How do you not give this man at least three years to turn Newcastle around? He’s a world-class manager, yet he’s given the boot after barely half of a season. Short sighted and stupid, is my view of it. But Newcastle goes through managers like some teams go through boots; maybe there’s a correlation between the lack of success and the impatience of the board of directors. * Carlos Ruiz: Goes back to Los Angeles. I can’t wait for the first time the Galaxy visit PHP this season to see how the crowd reacts to him. Carlos will be missed, but really, he never quite lived up to expectations. I’m also curious to see how a team with three prima donnas manages to get through an entire season without someone getting their eyes scratched out. * MLS Combine and Super Draft: I wouldn’t mind attending both of these events, but since there’s no chance of that happening, I’m not all that excited about the whole deal. But if you’re into it, there is a ton of coverage out there. The best has got to be Buzz’s work on this here very internets site. He’s actually reporting from the combine down in Florida this week. The man is dedicated. * African Cup of Nations: I think someone should be televising the tournament in this country. With half the Premier League involved, it has got to be some entertaining soccer. * Priorities: What am I going to do this spring? When I get my season tickets, I’ll immediately be torn between the 3-hour drive to Dallas and the $4.00-a-gallon price of gasoline I fully expect to see. I’d hitchhike, but I don’t the Lovely Cid would go for it. 5 Comments Comments RSS TrackBack Identifier URI Leave a comment |
haha how the crowd reacts to ruiz coming back?
-there prob wont be a crowd
-this is not europe, people dont follow teams and dont really care when players change teams
When DJ says crowd i think he means the SGs and STHs
“There probably won’t be a crowd”??? Lest you forget, that will be the first real Beckham Game for Pizza Hut Park. The Non-Beckham Game didn’t feature the man himself, so there will, in fact, be a crowd.
Right on with big Sam. Yes, he had a horrible start, but he certainly should have been given a full season to figure out what the heck Newcaste’s curse is.
I don’t know what is wrong with that team – it’s very puzzling given the talent in that squad.

Did you know that if you have DirecTV(at least in my area) you have to buy the most expensive package they have to get ANY of the soccer channels? Can we say rip-off?
