Between the Lines...

Read the Steve Kean interview
STEVE, LOOKING BACK OVER LAST SEASON, WAS IT HARDER THAN YOU HAD INITIALLY ANTICIPATED?

Kudos to Keano for acknowledging -without coming right out and saying it- that "These men are all professionals" is a load of crap!

No mention at ALL of formation fielded in the desolate patch.

Quotes attributed to J. Bonnissell in the banter-drone:

Yes, JB...I for one, quite agree... but how much of the problem is with the physios and how much is in your head. I'm sure the French acknowledge 'self-reliance' somewhere in their culture... you might have tried finding other options.

Another team I follow has had its backup keeper injured in one way or another almost since he was signed at the beginning of the 2004 season.
