“I Will Remember Crew” – A Requiem to Crew Cat
I have a grudging respect for much of what Columbus Crew has done to update the feel of their club over the past couple of years.

MLS Wins and Losses: Week 1
Can’t be bothered to read all this, with all it’s words and links and stuff? Not to worry, this was written to be part of the podcast so you can listen to it instead, with the added benefit of 3 others interrupting, digressing and taking it in all sorts of weird directions! With roughly an…
