Steven McMahon has come up in four or five of the books that we have reviewed. Every time, he's been up to something nasty. Now, he's a wrong un. Niall Quinn claims to have thrown him through a window, a real good versus evil fight there.

Infantino is a disgrace. And comical too. He is like a Bond villain in the most camp days of Bond.

This is the Ireland team that beat England in Goodison in 1947, the first foreign team to do so on English soil. Nice bit of history I encountered the other day.

we reviewed this book. one of my favorites. on the basis of how he comes across in the book, puskas was a very charming individual indeed. a lovely man.

In this episode of Injury Time, Al and John dive into the chaotic, colourful world of the North American Soccer League (NASL) — the wild 1970s and 80s league that brought Pelé, Cruyff, Beckenbauer, and Best to America. We pick 5 NASL greats each. And the super computer decides whose team wins.

One of the best we've done, really tremendous stuff.

wild, isn't it?

We have decided to impose a rule where we can't pick players that came up in previous drafts. this way, it's not Maradona each week. But that doesn't start until next draft.

So yes, a perplexing choice by Al, indeed...
