D.C. United lost 3-1 to Chicago on Saturday night. United, who have won just once away from home this season, and have the worst away record (1-7-5) in the league, dropped into 4th position with the defeat. Chicago moved into 3rd. United return home to face the worst team in the West, Dallas, next Saturday.
Remember when I predicted which teams in the A-League could win the title? Well, I wasn't too far off. Of the six teams I mentioned, three (Rochester, Minnesota and Seattle) are in the playoffs. My tip, Seattle, lost 2-1 in the first leg of their semi-final to archrivals the Portland Timbers. The second leg is tonight.
I've just finished reading what is probably one of the funniest football books ever written. Stan The Man: A Hard Life In Football is the hilarious, touching and brutally honest life story of current Burnley Football Club Manager Stan Ternent. I was constantly howling with laughter while reading it. Brilliant!
I installed Movable Type v3.11 a few days ago. You won't notice any difference though, as the changes are mainly behind the scenes, so to speak. I have, however, been bitten by the redesign bug, and I'm currently pondering a new site design. I have an idea for v6.0, but don't expect to see it any time soon!
