in Will Robert Kraft Purchase Gillett’s Share of Liverpool? on EPL Talk
Kraft will only buy in when the new TV deal is sealed; then he will push UEFA for some kind of salary cap.

in The Set: Seven Reasons the Bundesliga Is Better Than the EPL on Bundesliga Talk
Great article, and I especially liked the comment about fan power. The EPL is very much like most American sports, in that they are pricing the common man/average Joe out of the stadia, and that has always been the sport's biggest fanbase. That the Bundesliga still has standing sections (and still sell beer) is what keeps the generations of fans coming back, and brings new ones in (like myself--I wasn't a huge Bundesliga fan until I attended a match between Hamburg and Dortmund in Hamburg. An AWESOME experience, in every sense.)

in die Tabelle lügen nicht! Preview on Bundesliga Talk
How does Hamburg's addition of Mladen Petric affect the predicted order of finish? I was not really confident of their chances going into this season, but 1) they did not quit when down 2 goals on the road to Bayern; and 2) they have finally found someone, who for lack of a better term, can finish.

in The New Gaffer: Introducing Jol at Hamburg on Bundesliga Talk
Mark-I loved this post and found your analogy of HSV to "a Dutch Portugal" to be spot on.

How do you think HSV would perform if Rutten had been offered the post? Or Gerard Houllier? How do you see them performing under Jol? They certainly are pressing the attack more than they did under Huub . . .

I am really looking forward to reading your blog--it's great to have quality analysis of the Bundesliga in English.
