As this has seemed to turn into "Let's team up on Sambo blog", I want to re-iterate some comments.
1. The Freddy Adu thing is complex. I came out and said things against Stephen's post because at the time I said them they were true. The new Sir Alex quotes came out two days after the original story broke. So don't say I wasn't paying attention to what Sir Alex was saying. Because he didn't say anything until two days after the story broke. I was correct two days ago, Stephen is correct now, and that is all we are trying to do here at the blog. And if you think that's drinking haterade, then I will chug it.
2. I have no beef with Freddy Adu. I think Sir Alex is going to be the best thing that has ever happened to him, but he can't try that "beef with the coach" shit he had with Peter Novak or else Fergie will get rid of him faster than a C. Ronaldo run from touchline to touchline.
3. If this seems like a very pro-Freddy blog, it is because Stephen met him. That's why he is defending him so staunchly.
4. How is our domestic league going to get better if all the good players are leaving? I don't agree with keeping them here when there are better leagues overseas, and I have no solution to this problem. Anyone?
5. The whole "brand" thing is overrated. Henry is sponsored by Reebok, and he plays for Arsenal(Nike) and France (adidas).
Now for Liverpool/Arsenal. This is probably going to happen one of two ways. It will either be a nil-nil bore or it will be a blowout. I am going to say that Liverpool is on the better form right now and call it a 3-1 Liverpool thrashing of Arsenal.

Keep in mind the inherant vicousness within each of the blog writers, example comments on Clay's Mullet. I can't attest for Dru Jenkins, but establishing webspace to make fun of Sam is far from this blog's goals, outreach, creed, etc. I can assuredly say that this slice of journalism is an attempt to combat the nature of technopoly. Given the culture's surrender to technology, the rate at which information is attained is instantanious; while free thought is in a strangle hold. We as writers, philosophizers, individuals carry a certain responsability to stay afloat in this world on the brink.
dru writes on this blog?
who do you think radicalrandy is?
rad randy is indeed dru jenkins, although I don't blame you not knowing that considering he's never lived up to his first post promise of contributing regularly.
Sam, you're right about the Freddy Adu situation being a complex one. The fact that the MLS--not his club DC United--own the rights to sell him (or reject offers) overseas sounds unconstitutional. And yes, I have met Freddy and desperately want to see him succeed, because it's not going to happen (ever) in the MLS. He needs coaching, and Peter Novak ain't no Sir Alex, that's for sure.
I'm working on something for the MLS, in the wake of their MLS cup this Sunday (zzzzzzzzz). I like the Revolution in what I'm hoping is Taylor Twellman's last game in an MLS jersey. There's got to be somebody in the Championship who could use a sure-footed finisher like him.
