It appears that Nigel de Jong crunched our servers last night, resulting in the unfortunate downtime from 3a to 9a. But we know you weren’t frantically refreshing the site during that time, and so we’ll get onto the real meat of this announcement: Outside Mid and BG are now full members of the UF team, and we’ll have some more unveilings over the coming weeks if things keep going as excellently as they have been.
So give them a round of applause, or a Glasgow kiss, for their efforts. Your choice.

oh definitely a Glasgow kiss.
@ NYK: As opposed to a Millwall brick?
More like a Leeds hug.
They’re not full members until they get the NY Kid Punching.
.
Welcome.
@OM: REPRESENT, SON.
BOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
@ Anon: I will endeavor to do so and likely fail miserably.
@OM
Jacob’s not kidding though. The NYK drunken assault is the final step in this arduous vetting process.
Some fine 3rd rate additions.
@OM: Congrats on making it through rush. I’m sure the Deltas are proud to have you as a pledge. Now get me a beer.

Also, I read the Bundesliga thing. Seriously? Citations? This is a third-rate blog and we like it that way. You keep banging on like that and UF will be a second-rate blog in no time. Then you’ll pull a DT and become unreadable. In the words of the Pink’s prosecutor, “this will not do.” Don’t make me call the Schoolmaster. Oh, and get me another beer.
@Wedel: Don’t be silly. You know that any UF frat would be Lambda Lambda Lambda.
@JT: Wouldn’t that make Thierry Henry an honorary member 12 times over?
@OM: Congratulations on your promotion. Try not to get relegated this season.
@Anon, don’t tell NYK that, or else everything may go to hell in a hand basket
@ Wedel: The beer is in the mail. I could only afford regular USPS, so hope you’re okay with it being slightly warm and dented. As for the citations, initial reading of those pdfs seemed to make a simple rule of 50 + 1 more complicated b/c of the form different private limiteds could take. I wanted to give readers the opportunity (when they were dying of boredom and wanted to die even faster) to read the sources of all my half-assery.
@Anonsters
Most definitely

@Wedel
Duly noted! We’ll cut our professionalism immediately.
@ JT: Thanks for that heads-up. I’ll have to try and get my home taken off Google Maps street view ASAP before The Kid begins wandering this way.
@Wedel – my presence alone cuts professionalism immediately. see: Fox Soccer Channel female reporters
@OM: Beer is always good – condition is unimportant. It’s the hops that count. Rationalizing your citations now is no good.

@Anon: Q: Who didn’t we send a picture to? A: Lambda Lambda Lambda.

@JT: Thank you – you fine folks fill an important niche here. Don’t go leaving me with The Fiver as my only outlet for irreverent footy news.
-
@Wag: What? Did you say something? Sorry. I was thinking about boobs.
YOU SUCK!
Ok, now that I got that out of the way, congratulations and whatnot.
@OM – it’s too late, My Google-Fu is strong.
@NYK: But not as strong as mine.
It really bothers me that by all appearances Wedel is a perfectly likable guy, and yet he goes and roots for Man U. F**k yourself, Wedel.
Hi Berg! F**k you too! How’s everything else going?
Aside from Scotland losing, things are well. Thanks for asking.
What’s this I hear about beer? I’ll have a nice stout. Oh, and I guess I’ll try NYK’s punch too.
Wait, we have new writers? Who? Where? We have a blog?
What’s the matter, TSE? Had your head in the sand awhile now that United’s finances reveal they’re just as f**ked as Liverpool?
Why yes, yes I have! Everything is fine with United. All is well. Ryan Giggs take me away!
/rocks back and forth in fetal position.
Oh, and welcome, OM and BG.
