slim to none I would think. They are 2 points out of 4th and 6 plus a game out of 1st. With United, Tottenham, Southampton all on the schedule I doubt they let him go.

If I were the Manager, there's no way I'd let him go. He's registered for the second half of the season, and at the minimum he's another warm body that can play. You have to keep him until the season is over.

I fully expect Arsenal to crap the bed against Liverpool this weekend just to tighten things up.

Ugh. Yes, this will happen just to screw Saints fans who are already pinning their hopes on a 53-year-old keeper.

http://www.foxsports.com/soccer/story/liverpool-fa-charges-martin-skrtel-after-alleged-stamp-on-david-de-gea-032315
The Football Association has charged Liverpool defender Martin Skrtel with violent conduct following his clash with Manchester Unitedgoalkeeper David de Gea during Sunday's Barclays Premier League match.
Skrtel appeared to step on the Spaniard in the 95th minute of the match at Anfield, which Liverpool lost 2-1.
The FA said in a statement the incident was not seen by the officials, but was caught on video.
The Slovakian has until 6pm on Tuesday to respond to the charge.
If he were found guilty Skrtel would face a three-match ban, ruling him out of the Premier League matches against Arsenal and Newcastle and the FA Cup quarter-final replay at Blackburn.

All bets are off when you miss from three yards out. See Fernando Torres for evidence.

I don't think it's confidence. I think it was simply poor finishing and lack of focus on his part.Attacking him will surely help his confidence.
Bale is having a not so awesome year, but he still brings quality. His play has been overshadowed, and other La Liga talents are putting their mark on this season (see Messi, Neymar, CRonaldo, Rakatic, Griezmann)

And then Real will have to turn that and spend it plus another $50+mil on a couple other players. Wonder who they go after. If they come away with no trophies this year they will look very different next year.

I think that they are locked in a bit wither their attacking players (except Benzema, who is really good but not the "best in the world"). They should have made a move for Suárez in the summer really.

To be fair, Real splurges on attacking players without much regard as to how they'll fit in to the attack. Perez basically admitted as much when they signed Rodriguez this summer.
Jese got his car attacked too.

So do these teams qualify for the Champions League of racism? You don't want to get drawn into a group with Zenit or Lazio.

I actually didn't expect Chelsea to have a racist fan base. They play in a pretty well-off part of London.

This is just Chelsea racism on trains. The fans who live in West London don't have to take trains to get to the stadium, so most of their racism is in taxis and on the sidewalks along Fulham road.Leeds

@FOXSoccer: Attention, @MLS fans! @FOXSports1 will air tomorrow's MLS news conference LIVE from Target Field in Minneapolis at noon ET!

The back story to this bid is fun and a bit ugly between Minnesota United and the Vikings
http://www.sportsbusinessdaily.com/Daily/Issues/2015/03/24/Facilities/Minnesota-MLS.aspx
". . . the McGuire group has a powerful enemy and that’s the Vikings. Pre-emptively, the Vikings folks spent weeks twisting arms at the Legislature to speak out against a soccer-specific stadium. The idea was that, thus discouraged, the MLS would zero in on awarding the expansion franchise to the Wilfs and it would play in the new dome.
The Vikings have no more loyal pal at the Legislature than Tom Bakk, and he also happens to be the Senate Majority Leader. Bakk has been so willing to do the bidding of the Vikings and the Wilfs that he called up Don Garber, the MLS Commissioner, and said the McGuire group would not receive a dime’s worth of assistance from the state.
Bakk has done a fine job making this sound as if he’s protecting the taxpayers, but the folks he’s really been trying to protect are the real estate developers from New Jersey. They own the Vikings and soon will have an almost-free (when you subtract NFL money, naming rights and seat licenses from their investment) palace that will instantly make their franchise worth four times more than $600 million that they paid for it.

Press Conference:
Stoner looks drunk again
A Landon sighting
Garber laying it on way too thick
Dr Bill McGuire was a second away from a full emotional break down when he took the podium, but recovered barely
Team will start in 2018, focusing on Farmers Market area for stadium

I am starting to think this is the beginning of the end for the NASL.
Minnesota is gone
The Atlanta team will likely fold/move once the Atlanta MLS team starts in 2017
Both Indy and San Antonio are aggressively pursuing jumping to MLS
The USL has started the process to move up to Division 2 with an obvious connection with MLS
I feel like the best course of action for all might be for the NASL and the USL to merge as a new division 2 league.

The Lampard rumor keeps swirling but Jason Kreis says it has not even been discussed
Ives Galarcep @SoccerByIves 10m10 minutes ago
David Villa also said Frank Lampard was coming to NYC during FIFA break to watch team, but wouldn't confirm reports FL may join team early

saw the highlight again last night... definitely stamped him, but much harder to tell if it was intentional vs the Stevie G version.

I'm sure there are reasons why this is never, ever, ever going to happen... but yeah- makes sense.

Merge might be a poor word. I just expect that USL will absorb what ever NASL teams are left in a few years.

I thought so until I realized it meant I would miss half of Andy's posts since I only check into the USMNT thread when there's a game.

Frasier Forster out for maybe a year with a torn patellar tendon. You know, it was just about a year ago that Jay Rodriguez went down with nobody else within five yards of him.
How about that backup keeper at Chelski, the one with the weird headgear? He looking for work?

He's one of two names being tossed around, at least to finish out the season. They can also recall the lovably klutzy Artur Boruc back from loan this summer. For obvious homer reasons, it would be cool to see Cody move up.

Ronaldo is a massive jerk-off, like this post if you agree.
