“(The veterans) have looked at the guys that have come in and have all pricked their ears up and thought ‘uh-oh, I need to watch my back here’, which is always what you are hoping to do when you bring in some of the young guys. This year, hand on heart, that is exactly what [...]
The Revs’ New Guys…and those Old Guys, Too

Since my colleague has already picked at the bigger news in the Boston Globe’s report on the minor injustices surrounding the New England Revolution’s “Dempsey Fund,” I thought I’d mine the deeper corners of the same article for what it says about how some of the new guys at the club are doing.
Here’s what I’m [...]

Perusing the Boston Globe this morning, and I found something with a bit more detail from the local rag about Robbie Fowler, The Revolution, and the transfer of Clint Dempsey
If you read the article, you’ll find the quote that prompted this post:

Just when it looked like Adam Christman’s brace for the U-23s was the only piece of actual news I could present to readers of The Offside: when, in my despair, I was weighing how to pass on such fluff items as the arrival of Jay Heaps’ second child, Taylor Twellman’s dining guide, or the ongoing [...]
Those Two Japanese Dudes

Anyone reading the line-ups for the past couple of New England Revolution preseason warmups may have noticed a couple of unfamiliar names: Takashi Hirano and Takuya Yamata. (NOTE: It looks like I owe an apology to the drones who organize the Revs’ official site; turns out they did include a line-up in their match [...]

I’ll begin by acknowledging I made a hash of properly hyping this event. As admitted elsewhere, I was deep into my preview for the game when I realized I had my dates screwed up and that the preseason tilt between the Los Angeles Galaxy and the New England Revolution was already underway.
Before getting to [...]

At the opening meeting of this year’s Revolution camp, the Krafts welcomed the new and veteran players and told the team that, if I may paraphrase, it’s time for some silverware. It’s an interesting statement.
Arguably — or at least I would arge — the Revs are one of the more successful MLS teams. We’ve got [...]

Well, since both Liverpool and Revolution won today, I thought it fitting to tie the two teams together — more than they are already, that is — with a bit of idle gossip. Now mind you, this is purely gossip at this point, and the source has very little detail, but Robbie Fowler of Liverpool [...]

Happily, the New England Revolution’s opening preseason game - a tilt against a select team hand-picked from Bermuda’s 64,000 souls - ended with a 3-1 win to New England. As yet, the Boston area mainstream media seems to be silent on the preseason’s successful opening, but the Revolution’s official site and at least one [...]
Scouting Bermuda - a.k.a. Hunting Hogges
By: Jeff | 4 Comments
Apart from the regular ol’ roster, the New England Revolution’s official website is silent as to the specific players they took with them on their preseason tour of Bermuda - a.k.a. The Battle for Bermuda. The only other “Bermuda-specific” item on the page is a fly-on-the-wall/Tiger Beat-style write-up about the monkeyshines and “up with [...]
