Pat Lampard, 58, mother of Frank Lampard (#8 of my Blues) has passed away earlier in the evening (GMT). My sincerest sympathies go out to Frank's family. Pat was proud of her son and his career and was a familiar face at all the Chelsea FC matches. May she rest in peace.

If you haven't heard, check this out.

Basically, this website, My Football Club (myFC) "bought" controlling interest in a non-league club, Ebbsfleet United (formerly Gravesend & Northfleet FC). Who is MyFC? Well, they're made up of people like you and me who paid 35 quid (about 70 USD) to become part-owner of Ebbsfleet FC…

Pretty interesting concept and I wonder how this'll pan out. Oh yah, did I mention that the part-owners get to select the starting line-up week-in-and-out?!
