Friday footy notes

Filed under: Imported

I'm off on an ill-advised trip to Chicago tomorrow a.m. for the Peter Wilt Memorial Match.

The fledgling Nomad World Pub, in Minneapolis, is now regularly showing European soccer matches. 

The only MLS game I caught last weekend was New England v. Columbus. I'm even more impressed with the former following that 3-0 thumping. I like that kid James Riley who played at right midfield. He's smart and puts in a lot of dangerous balls. I think when Cassio gets healthy the Revolution might do well to make Riley the starter at right back (replacing that thug Marshall Leonard).

Has there ever been a more dull Premiership campaign? I ask this in all seriousness because I have no idea. I claim zero historical expertise. But this has to rank as one of the lest interesting seasons ever. Chelsea's had the top of the table secured pretty much since Christmas. Arsenal and Manchester United will finish behind them and who really cares in which order. I can't generate any sincere interest in whether Liverpool or Everton secure the final Champions League playoff spot. Even the relegations tussle is pretty drama-less with only four teams--West Brom, Norwich, Southampton, and Crystal Palace--truly at risk of being dumped.
