Yanks Abroad: Week of September 13-19
Rangers @ Man U. 9/14/10 Mo Edu and the Gers went to Old Trafford and came away with a 0-0 draw in the Champions League match. The Gers next two Champions League matches will be in the cozy confines of Ibrox. Walter Smith, the Rangers’ manager, went with a 5-4-1 heavy defensive look in the [...]
Yanks Abroad: Week of September 5-11
Bolton @ Arsenal 9/11/10 Stu Holden was understandably excited heading into the match with Arsenal, however after the match I don’t believe Stu would say it was an enjoyable afternoon. Holden started and played all 90 minutes for the Trotters, however the 3 fouls he took were not enough as they fell 4-1 at Emirates [...]
Yanks Abroad: End of August, International Break
I apologize for my Jonathan Spector v. Ryan Giggs like effort this week, but I’ve had too much going on. Forgive me, lets all get drunk and forget about it this weekend…deal? Bolton @ Southampton 8/24/10 Stu Holden entered the Carling Cup match in the 66th minute for the away side and did his part [...]
Yanks Abroad: Week of August 15-21
Raise your hand if you had three 6-0 results this weekend. I had expected, foolishly, that week two would feature some closer match-ups. It was (dis)interesting to see that the 4 letter network featured a pair of games that found the winning sides scoring 9 goals, while their opponents couldn’t find the net. Please don’t [...]

Aston Villa @ Wigan Athletic (3-16-2010) The Villans picked up a 2-1 win on the road. Friedel made a pair of saves as Wigan got off 13 shots, three of which were on goal. This week Martin O’Neill, Villa’s head man, did his best to smash Friedel’s lifelong dream of entering the coaching ranks. James [...]
Yanks Abroad: The Week In Review
Everton v. Hull (3-7-10) Landon Donovan came on in the 70th minute and quickly got to work. He had a goal in the 82nd and an assist in the 86th. That’s not a bad 16 minutes of work; you can’t even cook a Tombstone pizza that fast. No wonder they loved this guy, hopefully he [...]
Yanks Abroad: Tim Howard
Tim Howard followed in the footsteps, or gloves, of some other impressive American goalkeepers in England when he arrived in 2003. Brad Friedel of Liverpool, Blackburn and Aston Villa; Kasey Keller of Millwall, Leicester City, Tottenham and Fulham and most impressive of all – the penalty saving, Captain Robert Hatch of the allied POW’s against [...]
