As 2008 winds to a close and 2009 arrives, it is time to wish everybody a Happy New Year.
Thanks to all of you for making 2008 a special one for Soccer By Ives. For a first year as an independent site, SBI did pretty well and that success is owed to you, the SBI readers. We will be working very hard to make sure 2009 is even better.
So raise your glasses and grab some grapes. Say goodbye to 2008 and hello to 2009.
Happy New Year.
Looks like the US lost another one to other NT team.

Champs League Final — I was in Vegas at the Mandalay Bay and the match was on the giant screen. Crowd was insane and I had money on ManU to win!
Happy New Year Ives and thanks for all the incredibly hard work involved in maintaining this site. It has become the “go to” site for the latest soccer info and the bloggers are great. Thanks to all the SI readers who have varying degrees of knowledge but lots of passion for the sport. Everyone is treated with respect because they love soccer. This is just a fun place to go.
HAPPY NEW YEAR IVES!!
Happy New year and let the transfer window open!
Happy New Year! My daughter this morning informed me that now it was February 2001. God forbid. Back then I was completely disconnected from the wonderful world of football. SBI is like a footy IV for me. Thanks and all the best in 2009!
Happy 2009!
Happy New Years Ives and the SBI Staff.
Happy New Year!
2008 was maybe not so great. SBI was one of the few good things that came from 08. Ives, your site was an example of hard work meeting with a group in need of a product. your award is the end product of this. Thanks for the site and look forward to 09.
happy new year everyone! let 2009 be filled with even better soccer! thanks so much Ives, i cant tell you how much I truly love/need this site to keep me up to date w/ soccer
Let’s raise our glasses to a great 2008 and an even better 2009 for SBI and for the beautiful game!
happy new year to all. SBI’s success is well deserved. Paul

Happy new year to everyone. Wonderful site and I check it several times a day. Continued success Ives.
Come on 2009… Happy New Year’s everybody…
I can’t believe its been a whole year since you launched this site. It feels like yesterday you were making all these posts about “big things to come in January” etc. Hopefully 2009 can be just just as successful if not more than 2008 was.
Happy New Year Ives.
Cheers
