Fulham continue their nice run, up 3-0 on United.

 

Meanwhile Liverpool is absolutely embarrassing themselves, losing 2-0 to last place Portsmouth.

I don't think we will even recognize Liverpool next season and the thought of Gerrard possibly playing for Chelsea makes me sick to my stomach.

Did Dempsey have a good game?

 

An assist and was dangerous throughout, despite most of the attack being directed down the right side of the United defense.

 

Roy Hodgson is a really, really good manager. Great tactician.

Notable omissions from the Camp Cupcake roster include:

 

Hejduk (done)

Mastro (doneskies)

Parkhurst (surprising)

Ching (unless he's rehabbing or something, no bueno for him)

Mapp (wasted potential)

Movsisyan (must not be a citizen)

Adu (Would this have hurt him at Beleneses at all? Probably done this cycle)

 

I like the fact we called in Pontius. Cameron is a player-I like him a ton. Cunningham v Findley for the quasi-Chuck D role should be interesting.

I love Torres, he had one chance all day and put it in the back of the net. Not a great performance from Liverpool, but keeps them in the hunt for 4th. Also as much slack as Lucas is getting this year, I think he has been really good the last two games as is continuing to grow into a very good player. He is not as good as Alonso was, but he has been one of their better consistent players so far this year.

US U20 international Jared Jeffrey will move from Club Brugge to FSV Mainz (currently 9th in the Bundesliga) in January.

 

Interesting choice.

Thats the United I thought we'd see all year.

 

Good for Leeds. Nearly bankrupt a couple years ago.

 

Awesome, I love the FA Cup.

 

When Wayne Rooney is going back to his own 18 to receive the ball, you know your midfield sucks. I think Valencia was a poor signing. Yeah, he has pace, but he's not a consistent league scoring threat. Berba needs good service. Rooney's pressing, trying to carry the team and Owen is a great guy to bring in for offense, but they're lacking a midfield scoring option. Park Ji Sung is a sub on a good team-a poor man's Dirk Kuyt. Giggs has played wonderfully, but Gibson isn't ready, Fletcher isn't consistent enough, Carrick isn't good enough and their defense is patchwork. They are going to struggle to break teams down without an extra attacking option. I know it's an obvious and easy thing to say, but I think maybe United fans overlooked how much Ronaldo carried them the past two seasons. He created so much chaos and saw so much extra marking that it freed a ton of space for everyone else, hiding their weaknesses.

 

I didn't notice if the Duke University grad, Mike Grella, saw the field for Leeds. They're going to be back in the Prem in two years, and good for them.

Great, back to the team that didn't want him in the first place

Dumb and not true I'm sure.

 

I click on that link at work and it gets blocked with the category of "tasteless". Soccernet also reports Greek side Aris Thessalonica who I have never heard of (currently 5th in the Greece).
