I Wish

I wish I could tell you my recent absence was down to securing last minute details on my book deal on Toronto's soccer history.

I wish I could watch Aston Villa for the rest of the season and enjoy myself. And I wish I'd been there at Anfield with Villa's away fans singing, "We're going to win 6-5" as Gerrard and co made Villa look third class. And I wish Liverpool well.

I wish Alex Ferguson would admit both red cards were justified and that Rooney was wrong to throw a football ball in frustration. I wish the whole lot of Red Devils would understand many players have the maturity to restrain themselves playing to the end of ninety minutes in a losing cause (see Aston Villa minus Brad Friedel). And I wish Fulham well.

I wish I could watch Toronto FC play away in MLS and not cringe at the sight of some beleaguered car park posing as a proper football ground. I wish I'd been in Kansas City if only to see that huffer and puffer Guevara—sometimes the only TFC player who seems to get they're all there to play proper football—score his opening day brace and lead Toronto to a 3-2 win against the Wizards. And now I wish I didn't have to miss Toronto FC's home opener to sing like a girl for cash. And incidentally, I wish newbies the Seattle Sounders well.

Mostly I wish I had some better ideas for theme posts...
