NEWS: Dorman moving on?
By: Sabin |According to this article at MLSNet.com, Revolution Midfielder Andy Dorman will not be signing for more time with the Revs. Though there is no mention of a specific timeline in the article and also no reciprocal mention of the news at the Revolution’s website, a lot of us felt this was going to happen sooner [...]
Noonan and Nicol: from the same cloth?
By: Sabin |Steve Nicol: 100 Players who Shook the Kop
Pat Noonan’s Goal against Houston
The first goal from Nicol in the top link looks almost exactly like Noonan’s goal from the Houston game this Sunday. More than anything, this gives me fuel for further support for Noonan in the face of what — it seems at times [...]

By: Sabin |Boston.com notes on Revs

By: Sabin |From the Revolution Site
Arsene Oka, a regular player with the Revolution Reserves, hails from the Ivory Coast where soccer is at least 10 times more important than it is here. Given that, one can understand his point in the write-up above about not being used to the lack of fans. Apparently, though, he seems to [...]
Let’s talk about Wells Thompson
By: Sabin |I wanted to do this right after Saturday’s game, because I was immediately impressed with the way Wells Thompson approached his role. How can I describe it? A kind of lanky, off-balance grace that was just odd enough to keep the Fire at bay long enough for him to get a pass off.
At first glance, [...]

While [Pat] Noonan looks set to go Saturday, standout starting central defender Michael Parkhurst is still recovering from a freak left shoulder separation he suffered while swimming in the ocean off Cancun, Mexico, three weeks ago. But Nicol said Parkhurst does not need surgery, and [...]
Cristman Cristman (Joseph) Cristman
By: Sabin |Before I start today’s post, I just want to wish my comrade-at-words, Jeff, good luck with his new assignment. He’s going to be taking over theoffside.com’s Columbus Crew blog. he tells it better in his own words here. Good luck, Jeff, and thanks for the fine writing for the Revolution. I’ll do my best to [...]
Shalrie Watch Continues
By: Jeff |(UPDATE: Not to trump what appears below, but my current wager (4th “real” paragraph in this post) as to where a footloose Shalrie Joseph might go just got a boost. I just read on the Toronto FC blog that the Canadian outfit picked up Brian Mulrooney from FC Dallas. That should clear up [...]
Parkhurst: More Good News
By: Jeff |With the Boston Globe suddenly taking an interest in the New England Revolution, there’s plenty to talk about. Today’s “double-plus-good” news appears below, but there’s another item in the Globe today reporting on the status of starting central defender Michael Parkhurst’s shoulder.
For the record, it’s one of those lovely, “damned-if-you-don’t, damned-if-you-do” equations: play with [...]
