Tribute to Cerritos
By: Ian |The signing of Ramon Sanchez has me pleased as punch. Â Finally, the Quakes have signed a central midfielder, the position we desperately need help at, with international experience as captain of the El Salvador national team. Â I am overcome with wishful thinking at this point, but I am hoping he replicates the form and impact [...]
Five Fears from the Shrink’s Couch
By: Ian |The ball bulges the back of the net and I throw my hands up in disgust, but the half-heartedness of the gesture betrays my true feelings. Not disappointment or anger, not even pain. Instead it was that bitter resignation which takes up shop in a fan’s heart around the time he realizes that his club [...]
Back with a vengeance
By: Ian |The San Jose Offside is back from its holiday break, and all I have to say is: what happened to the Quakes while I was gone? Â The Cannon saga was thankfully concluded with The Joe remaining in San Jose as he should, but it definitely left a bad taste in the mouth of most fans. [...]
Happy Thanksgiving from the San Jose Offside!
By: Ian |This Thanksgiving, I give thanks that we were able to get our beloved Quakes back. I give thanks for all the great soccer we were able to witness this year, and for the championships we will win in the (near) future. Finally, I give thanks that I did enough in my past life to be [...]

Quakes/Spurs Collabo
By: Sean |I had heard rumblings (har har) about this for a little while, but didn’t want to get anyone in trouble and let the cat out of the bag. Now that CLS has confirmed, I can talk about the Quakes partnership with Tottenham Hotspur, and what it will mean (if anything).
My gut tells me that [...]

My Return… Brought to you by GolTV
By: Sean |“Aw man.. is there gonna be some LOVIN’ goin’ on tonight, in the bedrooms of San Jose.” – Ray Hudson
“Nine months from now, maybe a few “Darren”s popping out…” – Phil Schoen
That’s about what it feels like as a Quakes fan.
I figured I better come home to the Offside, as much as my job wishes [...]
