Didier Drogba Out For Aston Villa v Chelsea And More News

Just 24 hours left before the Aston Villa-Chelsea match!

Didier Drogba Has A Fever: And the prescription is...not playing against Aston Villa! Weeeeeeeeeeee. Granted, John Terry is back so their defense won't be quite as bad as previously hoped, but I'd certainly rather contend with Nicholas Anelka than be looking around wondering where Drogs is going to pop up.

It's More Than Just The Words We Use: American soccer fans feel oppressed by English traditions, English soccer fans feel dominated by American economics. Is this the era of trans-Atlantic sports? (PS: my thought is we hire English to announce our games not because we like their accents, but because we haven't found a good American soccer announcer yet. They make me want to rip out my ears).
