It's all part of the grand master plan ;-)

Actually we do need to put together some sort of mailing list so we can get
information out to MWB mebers.  What options do we have for creating a
mailing list on midwest-blues.com?

I think you and I need to chat some time about what is where on our to-do
list.  I don't think we can run this all by ourselves (god knows where Beth
gets the time or energy!) so we need to prioritize and recruit.

The four things that I see as top of the list are probably:
o Making the MWBs official
o Getting us some help
o Summer Tour
o Merchandising

Thoughts?

has anyone else seen the manure gang has set up their "own" club now?

----------------

FC United given League go-ahead
By Chris Bevan

The new football club set up by disillusioned Manchester United fans has
been accepted into the North West Counties League for next season.

FC United of Manchester will join the Second Division of the competition
and play at Droylsden FC's Butcher's Arms Ground, subject to council
approval.

The Conference North side have a stadium with a capacity of 3,500.

FC United are currently interviewing potential managers and will hold an
open trial for players on 26 June.

More than 2,600 Manchester United fans fighting Malcolm Glazer's
takeover have already pledged money and help to FC United.

Droylsden's owner and manager, Dave Pace, is a lifelong Red Devils fan
who was keen to help his fellow supporters.

He told BBC Sport: "I've done everything I can and it looks like they
are going to be playing at our ground.

"It's hard to say how it will go. The fans feel like they want to do
something to counteract Glazer and it could work.

"It's a stand and all credit to them. It is hard to run a club - and
they will find that out - but they are determined and they seem to have
backing from quite a few, so good luck to them.

"I'm trying to do my bit. I interviewed a couple of managers and pointed
the club in the right direction because they didn't really know the
non-League scene.

"I'm helping them all I can and will continue to do so.

"The managers they are talking to have a good idea of the players at
this level and who they want to get hold of.

"If they struggle to get players I'll probably lend them a couple of
mine."

Andy,

Just a heads up that I'll be going to all three games in July.  I'm
trying to get commitments from the family as to which games they want to
go to.

We're planning to spend the week on the east coast and are firming up
the details.

Ira will definitely go to the NY game, but probably not the others & he
may have more going.



I know I have to decide within the next few days and let you know.  We
want to be in the Chelsea section.

When is the deadline??



Phil

Dear Midwest Blues chatter (and our friends),

As our respective clubs are growing, so is the amount of chat on our
Yahoo! boards. As many of you have no doubt noticed and some have
even commented on this is causing more work, duplication and
confusion for people who participate in multiple Yahoo! Chats - as
many of us do. In order to take a stab at addressing this the Texas
and Midwest Blues have decided to move their chat from Yahoo! to a
single Bulletin Board. Many of you who chat with other Blues around
the world will already know that the Bulletin Board solution is also
very popular, and the product we have chosen (phpBB) is one of the
more popular ones out there so we hope you will find it easy to use
and an improvement on the problems TX and Midwest blues members have
right now.

Please note that this solution is only being implemented by the
Texas and Midwest Blues at this point. Other clubs, including
primarily the NY and US Blues operate separately and will make their
own decisions on their chat solutions. This solution, however, is
still open to all Chelsea fans worldwide, just as the Yahoo! Chat
was, and may even expand to other groups as they form.

What we would like you to do, therefore, is to go to the Bulletin
Board (http://www.ChelseaInAmerica.com/bb), register and start using
it for all the discussions you would normally have on the Texas or
Midwest Blues Yahoo! chats. Once everybody has registered and is
chatting on the Bulletin Board we will lock the Texas and Midwest
Blues Yahoo! chats to prevent even more chaos (hopefully as soon as
the beginning of next week).

Once you join you may want to go to the Forum Help area and take a
look at the Quick Start posting to get you going or ask questions of
other users. We also have a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) forum
for you to get answers and information on using the bulletin board.

As with all discussion groups and bulletin boards the format will be
a living thing. Please provide input on your experiences once you
start using it as it's your input that will help us grow this board
and make it more informative and easy to use.

If you have any problems or questions please post back to this
thread.

are, you might want to take a look at this. Glyn is a member of the TXBlues
and has been purchasing these CDs for a while. If you are interested he is
willing to gather the names and then see if we can't get a discount for a
"bulk" order.

If you are interested please contact Glyn directly at glynwill@...
be sure and leave your name, group affiliation and e-mail address so he can

discount is until I can tell them how many CDs are wanted.  There is no

--> Last Rumor:
CFC are targeting USA, Russia, China and England as their
marketing targets. Also rumor has it they will play AC Milan in NY, Real Madrid
in CHI,
and XXX in Toronto this summer.

Real Madrid may have pulled out???

--> Recent BBC News:
Mourinho will pit his side against the winners of the Portuguese league,
Benfica, on 17
July.

Chelsea will then travel to America on 19 July and play two games against
Italian side and
losing Champions League finalists AC Milan.

A 12-day trip to Boston, Washington and New York will also involve a match
against a
Major League Soccer side.

--> Add'l:
Through a very good source it looks like Chelsea will be playing at Gillette on
Sunday, July
24th. Announcement expected on Tuesday. They're also likely playing in DC on the
28th
and NY on the 31st. Rumor has it they will be playing an MLS side during the
trip.

The Revoultion have matches Friday the 22nd and Wednesday the 27th. However, the
Gold
Cup final is also scheduled for Saturday the 24th. DC already has a match on the
28th
(RSL) and the All Star Game is on Saturday the 30th.

--> I missed (twice) today that Steven (World Soccer Daily) had mentioned what
he has
heard on this... did anyone catch that by chance?  I will wait and listen to the
third feed
today to try and catch it again. If not I will call or email him.

Still wishing on a Chicago game!!

Cheers!

Priceless!!!!

CALM DOWN! CALM DOWN!

You could be forgiven for assuming that Liverpool fans would be relieved
when it was finally announced their club will get to defend its Big Cup
title next season. After all, they finished a distant fifth in the
Premiership, a whopping 38 points behind winners Chelsea and didn't actually
qualify for the competition. But having been on the receiving end of one or
two (billion) missives from paranoid Scousers over the years, The Fiver knew
better. So we weren't one bit surprised by the cacophony of ungrateful
wailing, weeping and teeth-gnashing triggered around Anfield when Uefa's
14-man executive committee decided over breakfast (today's menu: fudge,
fudge and more

fudge) to make "a special case" and allow the holders into the first
qualifying round of next season's Big Cup.

"Uefa have treated their own champions with contempt. To be told they have
to start in the first qualifier is wrong and a real kick in the teeth,"
whinged Les Lawson, spokesperson for the Liverpool International Supporters'
Club, upon hearing his team will be forced to play actual football matches
if they are to retain their shiny trophy. And while The Fiver agrees that it
would have been much fairer of Uefa to fast-track Liverpool into the last
five minutes of next season's Big Cup final with a two-goal lead, fans of
other teams will relish the possibility of the holders being eliminated in
the preliminaries by a team that has actually earned the right to be there.
Total Network Solutions or Shelbourne, for example. Or Everton.

Liverpool will have to play six matches to qualify for the group stages of
this year's Big Cup, with the first one pencilled in for - stop your
sniggering now - mid-July. Cue: the cancellation of a money-making tour of
fabled Scouse outpost Japan, and even more pompous, self-pitying whining:
"We are being treated like nobodies, we deserve to be treated with some
respect," howled Les. In the end, it was left to former player and assistant
manager Phil Thomson to inject a long overdue dose of humility into
proceedings. "We are delighted we are back in. It's a great decision for
football," he aye-ayed gratefully as a stampeding herd of angry Manchester
City fans thundered towards Soho Square, anxious to discover if they can
emulate the Koppites by whining their way into a certain recently-vacated
Euro Vase berth. So far, they can't.

This decision was wrong on so many levels.  The season started with a set of
rules for qualifying and Liverpool fell far short of the qualifications
which should have been the end of it.  The reward for winning the Champions
League, last time I looked, is a rather large trophy, which they were duly
presented.  However, this is just another example of how bullies win in our
society.  With the G14 and FA throwing their weight behind it, Liverpool
flexing their "history" muscle  and key UEFA execs keen not to upset because
of upcoming elections there was no way this was not going to happen.  In how
many other competitions do the champions automatically qualify for the next
season?  Will Chelsea start next season with a 6 point head start, will
Arsenal enter the FA Cup at a later stage, will the winner of the London
Marathon get a 500 yard head start?  NO in all cases and it should have been
no in this case, but as in so many walks of life we don't play on a level
field.  What a great example to set our kids; if you don't like the decision
and you and your friends are big enough, harass and bully your way to your
preferred decision on a ticket of emotion, not logic or fact.  Terrible,
spineless decision UEFA, and for once the FA stood by their beliefs and made
the right decission!

send a cheque if you let me have your address.  My address is 1460 w

re the US tour I'll be on for a trip to Toronto as well as NY - I'm often in
Detroit so I can combine it with a work trip ;-) I expect a few of my
Chelsea pals from back home will be up for tickets and a place to stay -
when we know more about the tour I'll be asking for some ideas on
accomodation!

sliding down!!. On a sad note, Andy and I were subjected to The Worst Bloody
Mary in History at Grace O'Malleys, mine tasted like Stoli with too much V-8
and Water, it was terrible. What a great time and I am really excited I can
now but a package next year to watch every match!! Gotta run back to work,
as I am meeting some of The TX-Blues tonight in Austin, thanks for the great
time guys!

I was just thinking what a great time I had in Chicago and how great
it is to meet The Midwest Blues. I had to laugh when Martin, who was
the drunk fart written about that slid down the railing at Fidos, told
me that he had recently been fired from his job as a stripper after
some ugly birds claimed he was too big. Can any of you imagine that
guy being a stripper?? Man it was hilarious and till this day I have
no idea how he did not fall while sliding down!!. On a sad note, Andy
and I were subjected to The Worst Bloody Mary in History at Grace
O'Malleys, mine tasted like Stoli with too much V-8 and Water, it was
terrible. What a great time and I am really excited I can now but a
package next year to watch every match!! Gotta run back to work, as I
am meeting some of The TX-Blues tonight in Austin, thanks for the
great time guys!

The youth coaching staff is coming over to run two clinics for kids later
this month, that is the top thing on the agenda. There is also talk that
other things are going on with this academy as the director used to coach at
Chelsea. They have a very good women's program as Paul's wife Shelly has
coached a number of women's squads in the Women's EPL, and played for the
England Women's Team. Roman has evidently been willing to develop the
women's and youth programs and has been talking with his checkbook again.
There is a lot of things going on, most of which is not set in stone, and so
I would hate to put up something that is discussion instead of fact. What I
can say is it directly relates to football at Chelsea and not fluff.
Considering current and future issues with UEFA, issues of marketing in the
US, and building their brand here, and supporting the women's team and the
younger men's team there is a lot going on. I am not in on the discussions
obviously, but Paul has been sharing a bit here and a bit there. The
coaching staff is here on the 19th and we are trying to work out a dinner,
one to get to know them and also to see if there is anything we can do here
as a group to help out.

What I can promise you is it has nothing to do with any other kind of
football or the ridiculous things that are done to make that boring game
more appealing to the male audience.

Er, Beth,,, is it the footballers they are coming to look at or the
Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders that are in training in Dallas. Horrific
(and sublime) visions of the Chelsea cheerleaders becoming a staple at
the Bridge.  Hopefully, Roman will stick to football, so far he hasn't
splurged on casinos, etc. at the Bridge so hopefully not too much
fluff will start going on... On the other handm if Kenyon is
involved...  Lets just say it will be a very bad sign if Graham Rix is
rehired and sent to find the best female footballers.... I hear he
bends it like.... well, never mind

"Very good authority tells me one of the main reason for the coaches
coming to Dallas the end of the month is not just to look at the
academy but to really look into the women that are being trained up in
Dallas. . . could it be . . . Chelsea Academies here in North Texas

Blues claim 'official' Arnesen  approach      Chelsea officials
have responded to Tottenham's  claims the Barclays Premiership champions
illegally approached  Frank Arnesen.
   Frank Arnesen: Tottenham's transfer tycoon keen  on Chelsea. (SteveMitchell
/Empics)  Spurs  officials have suspended their sporting director and are
considering what action to take after claiming their London  neighbours made an
approach 'in direct breach of FAPL rules'.
A Chelsea statement released to the Press Association  read: 'Chelsea Ltd
made an official approach to Tottenham  Hotspur for permission to speak to Frank
Arnesen two weeks  ago.
'Chelsea Ltd has been in direct discussions with  Tottenham for the last two
weeks on this subject.'
The Premiership champions were fined earlier this week  and given a suspended
three-point deduction for their role in  an illegal meeting with Arsenal
full-back Ashley Cole.
The points deduction will be activated if a similar  offence occurs in the
next season, although rule K3 which they  were punished for applies to 'contract
players' and Arnesen is  a sporting director.
Also the Premier League are yet to receive a complaint  from Spurs officials
about the alleged approach to Arnesen.
'We have not received an official complaint,' said  Premier League spokesman
Dan Johnson. 'We await to see the  action Tottenham wish to pursue.'
Arnesen has told Spurs he wishes to move to Chelsea,  which resulted in the
club's board suspending him with  immediate effect.
A statement on the Spurs website, www.spurs.co.uk read:  'Chelsea Football
Club has made an approach to sporting  director, Frank Arnesen, in direct breach
of FAPL rules.
'This approach was made both prior to requesting  permission and without
permission from the club. Tottenham  Hotspur Football Club refused permission
for
any discussions  to take place.
'Notwithstanding that he is subject to contract and  holds wide-ranging
responsibilities and commitments to all  parties at Tottenham Hotspur Football
Club, Frank has  indicated that he wishes to move to Chelsea Football Club.
Accordingly, the Board of Tottenham Hotspur plc has suspended  Frank Arnesen
with
immediate effect.
'The club is currently in discussions with its legal  advisors and a further
announcement will be made in due  course.'
