Tale of Two Halves
By: kevin |Finally being able to stomach that opening 2-0 loss on Sunday, I am back and ready for action. I’ve watched the game for the third time and have a few brief thoughts and observations. For me, it was the tale of two halves. For those of you that still haven’t seen [...]

Bresciano’s a good enough player that he was worth some money to the club, but not SUCH a great player that he wasn’t expendable. They’re shaping [...]
