By: Jimmy | Comments 3 Comments

What is going on? Please, let me know

By: Jimmy | Comments 6 Comments

I don’t even know what to write anymore. Blogging at the Offside has become not the most happy of occasions seeing as there is nothing positive to report. Tevez just ran a muck on us yesterday as we were thrown out of the Carling Cup and onto our backsides into a dark alley to be [...]

By: Jimmy | Comments No Comments

Well with the giant, and very tasteless, snubbing Mr. Shearer gave us, I’ve taken some time and have put together these thoughts.
