No Małecki, No Problem.
Patryk Małecki has just overtaken Sławomir Peszko on my list of the most irritating Polish footballers. He was always high on this list, but thanks to the game against Skonto Ryga he finally managed to get past Peszko (maybe it’s because I don’t have a chance to watch the latter as often as I used to). Overall it was a better than an average performance by Wisła team, but Małecki’s poor form and lack of character improvement is very alarming.

Polanski Ready To Represent Poland.
Though the transfer window officially started on the first of July, I didn’t imagine that even our national team would acquire new players. Eugen Polanski, the former captain of the German youth team, decided to ’switch sides’ and make himself available for Poland. Much to Franz Smuda’s appreciation as our coach never ... [read more]
Transfer Report: Summer Of 2011. The Ekstraklasa Transfer Record Broken.
Polonia Warsaw’s owner Józef Wojciechowski makes sure that the Polish football is interesting. After multiple transfers and announcements that he’s going to fight for the championship title next season, he decided to sell his top player Adrian Mierzejewski to Trabzonspor. JW probably wouldn’t do that if it wasn’t for the record transfer ... [read more]
Year Before Euro 2012: The Team Roster.
A year before the Euros is a good time to analyze the current state of the Polish national team. I’ve already written a lot about tactics in the last post, so now I’d like to concentrate on the squad roster. Some time ago Smuda said that by this time he would have ... [read more]
Poland-France 0:1. Ambition Is Not Enough When Smuda Doesn’t Help The Team.
0:1 against France is always better than 0:6 against Spain. We’ve made progress during the last year, but in all honesty we started from a really low level. The players gave their all and played to the best of their abilities. The ‘problem’ is that the French players took the game seriously ... [read more]
Poland-France Preview And My Thoughts After The Argentina Game.
Normally, the game against Argentina would govern my imagination for a long time. But it would have be a game against a real Argentinian team with Messi, Tevez, Aguero and Mascherano. The match in Warsaw that you watched on Sunday (and that I watched a replay of yesterday) was a one against ... [read more]

Pippo Scores, Tiziano Crudeli Weeps
This is, incredibly, not too far off the norm for Tiziano Crudeli, journalist, commentator and Milan fan extraodinaire. He's a touch passionate about the Rossoneri and as one would expect, more than a touch passionate for icon Pippo Inzaghi's last game for the club on the weekend. Standard fare... And then ...

Enjoy Landycakes enjoying some First Bottom. In a room of armed men hell bent on protecting the object of his lurid fantasies at all costs. Or maybe they're there hunting down that dude straight out of the WWII flick on the left, looking like he's about to pillage something. (No comment.) And ...
Torching Burnt Bridges With Samir Nasri
Cripes, Manchester City's all over the place these days. One supposes with that ending they're allowed to be. Also: money's compelling. Don't ever think otherwise. They won the title this weekend after spending oodles and oodles of money the last few seasons. One oodle was Samir Nasri, you might recall, ...
The Charging Wolves Fan
Who knew Wolves - Wigan would have the best scene of the EPL weekend? Some bolder than thou Wolves fan sauntered into a March of the Cantaloupes and charged scores of Wigan fans. Presumably he had a decent reason. Or was reasonably sauced. One of those. Even better, all the ...
Carlos Tevez v Fergie: The Title Celebration
At current pace, the Manchester Derby could settle right below Clasico levels in a few years time. The spending and success on the blue side of town will only breed animosity, while history still remains firmly in the red half of town. Plus Carlos Tevez will be involved* and nothing fans ...
Felipe Melo Finds His Fire Hydrant
For no apparent reason, the canine urination celebration is taking hold of Europe. Or it's happened twice off the top of my head, which is far too many and certainly deserving of pandemic status. The first was Zenit's Danny, merely celebrating a goal. Now Felipe Melo was so excited by ...
Joey Barton Being Joey Barton
Yesterday, preceding one of the most astonishing league finales ever to be seen in our lifetimes, a more commonplace phenomenon was observed: Joey Barton. He was sent off for extracurriculars before the hour mark, putting his famously good behavioral regulation skills on show. (Charged not once but twice for violent ...
The Stop-Motion England Introduction
This is both wonderful and a wonderful departure from the standard footballing related videos you'll find on the YouTube.
