You gotta love todays headlines involving Mr. and Mrs. Posh. One article talks about how Victoria and David went to a sex shop in Hollywood. And the other talks about a study in Britain that says David and Victoria are top role models for school children in England. Does this mean the English have finally given up their Victorian ways?
WVHoolign sticks his neck out a bit with a post in today's blog. He lists the 3 coaches that he feels are in the hot seat from day one of the season. Can you guess who they are?
1. Fernando Clavijo - Colorado Rapids
2. Sigi Schmid - Columbus Crew
3. Juan Carlos Osorio - New York Red Bulls
I can't say I disagree. The only reason I'd hesitate on Clavijo is that he wasn't canned in the off-season. So why would the Rapids do it during 2008 and at that early on?
In case you didn't catch it before the folks at Class VI took a look at the Rapids roster for 2008 and broke it down by forwards, midfield and defense.
Just when I thought the Rapids were showing a bit too much desperation in their quest to sign Scottish striker Tam McManus, Southampton turns around and outdoes them with bringing Michael "Not Even Good Enough For Oldham Anymore" Ricketts. Yes, the Michael Ricketts you may remember from a brief goal scoring streak while at Bolton many, many moon ago. Since then he's bounced around with lower league teams and recently was let go by Oldham. If he's not good enough for Oldham, why are Southampton looking at him? Has Pearson lost his mind?
Nigel Pearson got his first win with Southampton today at St. Mary's. It seemed like Saints were headed toward yet another tie, their 5th in a row in league play and one that would've left them 3rd from bottom (relegation!!!). But Stern John scored his 16th of the year and Saints got all 3 points, 1-0, against fellow relegation candidates Leicester. There are still 8 games left but if Saints can keep scoring while getting a few clean sheets, they may soon be out of the woods.
