--On the bandwagonish side of things, I wanted to pick up a Reading T-shirt. Two Americans, an affinity in the rumor mill for more, the Premiership newcomers have burrowed themselves into a corner of my heart.

But trying to find a good-looking T-shirt of theirs? Next to impossible. Club shop online has many, but only if you want others around to bleed from their eyes. Go to their their shop (http://shop.readingfc.co.uk/Index.pasp?) and look around, but only if you have protective eyewear.

The usual suspects (Kitbag, etc.) have nothing. Even EBay UK has zip. Shame...wanted to do my part to help keep them up by fueling the transfer piggy bank.

--Carlos Tevez? Yes, please. (http://home.skysports.com/list.aspx?hlid=408431&CPID=103&clid=1&lid=2&title=Tevez+could+be+on+the+move) Marcos Senna? Useful. (http://home.skysports.com/list.aspx?hlid=408524&CPID=23&clid=449&lid=2&title=Senna+switch+a+step+closer) But if Chelsea want Tevez, I doubt United a) would out-spend them, and b) be able if the talk re: Chelsea and Corinthians is true. One of those "I won't hold my breath" type of scenarios.

--Bruce was in fine form yesterday. (http://www.bigapplesoccer.com/article.php?article_id=6640) On a related note, give some clicks to Big Apple Soccer--Michael Lewis and Dylan Butler do a great job at the site.

--Why do I have the funny feeling LA finishes third or fourth in the West, Landon decides to play, Yallop pushes some right buttons and the Galaxy end in Frisco?

--So if Kenn's the smart one, Loney is the funny one, the guest bloggers are the popular ones, Jose Mourinho is the Special One, what does that make me? The unremarkable one?

The substantive one.

Good stuff as usual, Buff.

First, if we are going to support Reading [this will be the third year for me. Still a bandwagoner, just not a recent one ;) ]shouldn't we just go to their website and by a nice proper one which also helps out the club?
Second, yes Bruce was in "fine" form yesterday. If he was at all serious about taking credit [or seeing the result as one of HIS best moments] for the tie against Italy, then the gap between how is brain interprets what his eyes see, and what is actually recorded by those eyes, is dangerously wide....
Third, are the finals in Frisco this year? For some reason I thought I'd read they were to be reenacted at Pizza Hut [to my under-enthusiasm]
Fourth, if Kenn, Loney, Mourinho, and guest bloggers, are as you say they are, then that leaves you as the Dangerous One :cool:

Over in Germany for the World Cup I met three Reading boys and had a good time drinking with them. Two were wearing Convey jerseys and they were there just to party and support him for the US.

Good lads.

I thought it was pretty clear that I tried the online club shop for the team; I mean, have you looked at it?

Light blue and gray do not go together. I thought I was buying stonewashed jeans for a second.

Sincerely, they're all ugly as hell.

Pizza Hut Park is in Frisco, Texas.

I hope Bobby has a good season for Reading in the Premiership. It's a big jump, but I'd hate to see yet another american toiling away in the Coca-Cola Championship (Lamest name ever...it sounds like a little league rec team)

Thanks for the link to the Arena press conference story. It would be great fun to see Whiner and Galexi try to interview The Bruce if RBNY ever makes it to a match where Eric or Lalas have been brought in to do color.
