Its been a while since I've made a post. The last week I have been quite consumed with studying for my midterms. Now that they are complete and spring break has officially begun I'll be able to return to my usual doings. Especially that, beginning Monday, I'll be on paid vacation from work for the entire week. The hotel I work at may just collapse under my absence. This week I'm hoping will be all partying and writing papers for me. I do hope to make some progress on Champions League before FIFA Ultimate Team comes out (I've only got about 14% more of the player's cards to acquire). Maybe work gets done, maybe it doesn't: I'm just glad that I'll finally have some time to myself to relax. St Patrick's Day is only three days from now; ready the potato soup and whiskey.~Sean
West Ham bested the Latics 1-0 at the JJB Wednesday. A game which saw nine cards shown in just ninety minutes. Carlton Cole scored the game winner in the 34th minute only to be sent off minutes later for a reckless challenge after having already been booked earlier. After the his second booking the two teams had a bit of a skirmish. Wigan's Cattermole was sent off in the 52nd minute for diving into the back of Scotty Parker.

The race for the next MLS expansion spot just got a little simpler with MLS Commissioner Don Garber and FC Barcelona representatives today announcing that they were both backing out of negotiations on the subject. Seems as though Miami is not ready for another franchise:
David Beckham and his loaner club AC Milan have been trying to make his loan deal permanent for about the last 6 weeks because the current deal expires March 9th when he will be required to return to the Los Angeles Galaxy for the beginning of the MLS season. As of two weeks ago MLS said that a deadline had been set for a transfer negotiations to take place, but the teams could not come to an agreement
Franck Ribery's agent, Alain Miggliaccio, is telling the world that Manchester United is set to make a switch for the Bayern Munich star French midfielder should they decide to cash in on Real Madrid's nonstop pursuit of Cristiano Ronaldo. United would surely get a pretty penny for the Portugese star and the earlier reported £200,000/week salary for him is a bit excessive for a single player, however I can't imagine the Old Tratford faithful would take such a deal with a grain of salt. Expect a Red Army uprising should something like this actualize.
Microsoft today confirmed that Watchmen: The End is Nigh will be releasing this Wednesday for 1600 MSP. Traditionally games of this price range have been fairly hefty in content and quality, hopefully this one will follow suit.

Watchmen: The End is Nigh, an xbox live arcade game set for release to conincide with the movie release will sell for 1600 microsoft points, about $20. While the previews and screenshots look excellent, I'm a bit on the fence about purchasing this one. I just hope that its somwhere near the quality of the Penny Arcade releases and then I'll have no regrets.
West Ham climbed up to seventh in the English Premier League table thanks to their 1-0 defeat of Manchester City on Sunday. The teenager Jack Collison of Watford scored the match's lone goal in the 71st minute off a Savio cross and a Given parry. The game saw Valon Behrami stretchered off with a twisted knee and also the return of Craig Belamy to Upton Park in the second half where the boobirds were in full attendance after his transfer in January. The win, moving the Hammers into 7th place in the most recent standings,
