Those West Ham poofs probably would have run away if they were in our position, but we're CREW FIRM, and you don't facking sleep on CREW. So we pull out the streamers - the biggest cants of streamers you evah did facking see. We rained those bleeders on those ICF wankers, we did. "Fack off back to England, you facking woos," we were screamin'. You should've seen 'em - you never saw such a banch of cants so mildly inconvenienced in all your facking life.

Come on, Bex! I thought you loved the buzz! As for the Columbus motto...my alternate choice would be "COLUMBUS: Fighting the American Revolution since we were chartered as a city in 1834." But I think yours is punchier. Yeah, I thought of that one last weekend when I was watching the new Batman movie and couldn't quite understand why Commissioner Gordon was so shy and diffident.

King George had better not show his face in Columbus. Steve, apparently the Harley Street Hooligans contingent actually did hold up an anti-West Ham banner reading "Where's Elijah Wood?" Which looks pretty ingeniously self-undermining when you consider that THE HARLEY STREET HOOLIGANS ARE NAMED AFTER AN ELIJAH WOOD MOVIE. I only wish he'd made it up, but it's real.

With VP's experience covering the CL final in Moscow and his first-hand account of the rivalry in Glasgow, it will be interesting to hear his take on MLS. As his report from Columbus seems to suggest, our footballing attitudes are becoming more European. I'd be curious to hear if he agrees. Is there any truth to the scuttlebutt you hear about the Millwall firm organizing a little field trip to Toronto this week? Rumor has it that they could be joining forces with those badass Buckeyes. As far as I know, there's been no mention of Elijah Wood's involvement in any of this. Does anyone know different? This should be good.
