I want to start with saying a few words about how things have gone for us over the last 2 games. I feel, as I’m sure most of you feel, that we have not come away from those games with the points that we have deserved and what with the performances that we have been showing it’s a little upsetting. I’m sure all of you are thinking here we go again, another year, new players, same old crap. Well I can assure each and every one of you that this year is not, as long as I am here, going to be the same as the years you have already had to deal with!!! We have guys in this team who are born winners and will do anything in their power to come off the field as winners. You also have to realize that the coaching we have been receiving from Jason, Robin, BJ, Jeff and Dan is some of the best training I have had in my career and it’s an amazing feeling as a player to go onto the field with those guys behind us. They all have a winning mentality and share our passion for the game. We are all working our asses off everyday to make this team better and give you guys – the Fans, Press and people of Salt Lake – something you deserve, and that is a winning team. One thing we all forget is that this team is completely new and it takes time for the team to gel and get to know each other, but I am convinced that we will achieve our goal a lot quicker than expected. Already we have turned a few heads and its only a matter of time before the Real Salt Lake bomb explodes and we go on an amazing run. Keep up the good work and keep believing!!!

OK Lets start with that amazing result last Sunday at the Millerntor, 5-0 what a result for the boys in brown and here is some more good news we only just beat Wehen last night away in wehen. 2 in a row, I am very impressed, out of relegation danger by 10 points now.

Well here we go again another amazing weekend of soccer in front of us. I’m going to make this short and sweet because my wife is waiting to watch a DVD, so here goes:

Juventus vs AC Milan – I would love to say Milan will win this one but I dont think so. Juve WIN

Werder Bremen vs Schalke 04 - This is one of the top games in the bundesliga and both of these teams are super strong, Schalke are one of my favorite teams and will eventually win the Title but im afraid to say that getting points from Bremen in Bremen is not easy. Bremen WIN

Manchester United vs Arsenal - wow What a game!!! I don’t need to say too much about this one, it’s going to be fireworks!!! United WIN

Bayern Munchen vs Dortmund – This one has classic written all over it, both of these teams always put up a great game when they play against each other, I would not be surprised if Dortmund won this one but Bayern at home??? Sorry. Bayern WIN

Scottish cup semi – Partick Thistle vs Rangers - This a derby and used to be even bigger when they were in the same league. Im saying Rangers WIN and at least 1 red card in this one.

I have to go now the DVD is starting.

Until next time God bless…
