Warnock, OUT! Chimbonda, IN! Oh…and Gillingham too
By: Jimmy |So the big news today is Stephen Warnock is now a member of Aston Villa. On the replacement side, as soon as the door was hitting Warnock’s rear, a Mr. Pascal Chimbonda has moved in. A little case of the old switcheroo, and I’m not too upset. Here’s why…

By: Jimmy |Rovers tasted defeat Saturday but then again, who picks up points at OT? (The place where opposition penalties don’t exist.)
Aside from Ryan Nelson doing all that he could to slow down and help the ball along for Shrek, Rovers did a lot right. The 4-1-4-1 Big Sam threw out had a shaky start, but by [...]

Blackburn 2-2 Man City, Another 2 Points Dropped
By: Jimmy |A heads up and alert shot by Benni Mac and a sweet header from Jason Roberts wasn’t enough to down Manchester City this past Sunday.

By: Jimmy |So there’s no stream to be found, I am stuck in math class, and re hashing text updates from other sites would be silly and borderline forgery.
