Colorado: What? Us? Are you talking to us? Arsenal: Um, yeah. You can use our name if you'll sell our jerseys at your club shop. Colorado: You mean, like, say we're in a partnership? Arsenal: Sure. But, you'll move our merchandise. And, we get all the revenue and have no actual obligations to your club. Colorado: So, we can say we're friends? Arsenal: Whatever, we don't care. Do we have ourselves a deal? In my head, the negotiations went something like this, as if from the halls of a junior high school:

Not that my team is much better but I can't even think of any British players in Arsenal's regular squad, other than Walcott and Hoyte... Nice breakdown.

But at this point, West Ham deserve to partner with the Vermont Voltage of the USISL D-league. That would’ve explained the claret and blue switch.

But Colorado were forced to end the talks when they realized they were currently fielding a more talented side.

I would love to see Clavijo sit down with Wenger and share some of the Rapids coaching magic. But I really hope this means that Arsenal will now have some sort of access to Marcelo Balboa. He really has so much to offer...announcing possibilities, hair styling tips...and please, please, please...the "best practice" that Wenger really needs to learn from Cello - the art of wearing sunglasses on top of your head at night. That would do it for me. My favorite part “best practices”… I would love to see Clavijo sit down with Wenger and share some of the Rapids coaching magic.
