The Common Link Between MARTA and Marta
At first glance, Michael Turner’s new nickname might have far more to do with certain forms of public transportation than Brazilian women’s football. Perhaps John Abraham is on to something here, though. After all, both Marta and MARTA are top talents who, on their best days, can become pure... Read more...

Hull-y F*ck!!!
Okay, who saw this coming? Anyone? Anyone? When Paul McShane gave up an own goal against Arsenal at the Emirates, you figured that was it.

Hawthorn 18.7 (115), Geelong 11.23 (89)
Well, it was more fun to watch than last year’s Grand Final �" unless, of course, you’re a Geelong supporter. When Geelong and Hawthorn met back in July, the Hawks missed a few key scoring opportunities, and when too many shots at 6-point goals result in 1-point behinds, it’ll cost you.... Read more...

I’m going to take a slightly different tack here, though, because it’s Grand Final Weekend in Melbourne, and, well, this is a different sort of football blog, after all. Take... Read more...
