Someone needs to explain to Tim, Sid, and now Blair how to pronounce “Merseyside”.
If the reds are worried about things in St Petersburg, just have them wear their Luis Suarez t-shirts to show to properly combat racism.
i’ve not been paying close attention to the reporting on the lockout, but Shoalts has a very nice summary of the recent events here:

i had the streaming radio on and accidentally caught a bit of Kypreos & co on the midday hockey show. He had a nice line in response to one of the others when he said something like “given how each side is using the media, how can you trust anything your sources are telling you?” I wonder if he’s keeping that maxim in mind when he “reports” on the negotiations.
If i’ve gleaned anything from this mess it’s that no one is more connected than anyone else right now … hopefully some intrepid blogger will provide a post-game breakdown of all the wrong predictions and insider reports. Ron MacLean blogged that there would be no lockout, for example:
