    I had been following Chang on Twitter for about a year before he was hired by LFC. At the time he was an online editor for Sports Illustrated (a big sports magazine in the US), and occasionally wrote some interesting stuff about LFC and transfer targets. He always claimed to have great "sources" at LFC (he was in New York at the time). Seemed like a load of horseshit, and it probably was. He was also incredibly rude and borderline inappropriate to people on Twitter, in a way that seemed really unbefitting of someone at his level in the media. So I was completely bewildered to see him get hired as CD by Liverpool, and am not surprised in the least that he's done something inappropriate like this. Seems like a cocksure egghead who's conned his way to some good gigs, but he was always was bound to make a mess of things. I hate to see it, because it's put LFC in a bad light.

    Correctly.

    Can't listen to this asshole pronounce Casillas "CASS-ee-ass" for 90 minutes.

    Howard Webb reffing a rhythm-less game, what a surprise.

    Does Jack White receive royalties every time a goal is scored in this tournament?

    Balotelli is great entertainment.

    Roberto Martinez thinks it would be bad for Spain if they conceded a goal. He doesn't say much, but he says it with panache...

    How'd you like to pay £80 for a seat in front of some asshole blaring a trumpet in your ear for 2 hours.

    This looks like they're rehearsing a scene from The Birdcage.* *Not that there's anything wrong with it.

    Some classy comments in here, as always...yikes. I've followed the guy's tweets for a while. He's the football editor for Sports Illustrated. From what I've gathered, he grew up in the UK, worked in finance for a while but gave it up for journalism in the US, and eventually became editor of SI's soccer/football coverage. An LFC fan, a Valencia fan, a Cincinnati Bengals fan (!), and a Rafa Benítez fan. Occasionally informative on Twitter...often comes across as a humorless prick. Seems like a huge Red though. He must be: has to leave NYC for Liverpool.

    LFC Home Kit - Liverpool FC "The New Liverpool FC 12/13 Home Kit is unlike no other." Cool shirt, Warrior -- but work on your grammar.

    All the best to Mr. Burns's son Larry.

    Exactly. The fact that papers still keep bringing up a word that neither men admit was spoken during the confrontation proves that people haven't actually read the repot. Now, this interview was written in a even-handed way, but there are far too many clueless lazy "journalists" involved in this whole thing.

    West Ham signed US defender George John. We should have signed him, along with Paul Ringo.

    Claudio Reyna. Errr...

    "What position?" "Prone."

    Btw, rumors going around that US striker Juan Agudelo might be coming to train with Liverpool. Just a rumor, mind you.

    Twitter @marcpelosi: "at police station, just got mugged by two angry scousers on bikes! I'm ok though."

    I was recently back in the US (where I'm from). Stopped at a roadside Denny's for a late breakfast, and in a "fuck it" moment I decided to order the "Mac 'n Cheese Big Daddy Patty Melt." I'm always in the mood for a greasy meal when I'm on a long road-trip, but usually I just get your normal, run-of-the-mill cheeseburger. Also, I was performing a sociological experiment -- even though I'm American there are (as you know) "two Americas": the America that eats "Mac 'n Cheese Big Daddy Patty Melts" (a minority, but not that the world will admit that), and then the rest of us right-thinking humans. It was not good eating.

    Saw it -- it's great. Had me in tears at the end. Absolute tears. And I never cry at movies.

    I fail to see why attaching a corporate name to a building is any worse than having a corporate name emblazoned across the players' shirts. I'd rather have a stadium named after a bank or betting site than have the name on the team's shirts (and thus be reminded of freaking Standard Chartered every single time I watch a match or highlight or see a photo of a player in the newspaper). People need to get over the "ick" factor of stadium naming rights. The soul of the sport was sold long ago -- it's odd (and, frankly, bad business) to pretend otherwise.

    Yeah, I'm watching. I've trained myself to overlook the annoyances of MLS, but LA is the best team in the league this year and this is an intriguing match-up, as MLS playoff match-ups go.
