Stoke City 0 Chelsea 4 After enduring the horrid 2-0 drubbing at the hands of Swansea in the opening Capitol One Cup draw, at home, at The Bridge, I am sure most Chelsea fans, myself included would have felt a certain trepidation ahead of Saturday’s Premier League tilt with Stoke City, at…
Chelsea 0 Swansea 2 When asked what I thought about last Wednesday’s Capitol One Cup semi-final tilt between Chelsea and Swansea, I said that watching that match was very much like watch THIS video over and over again for 90 minutes straight with the volume and treble turned up all the way: That…
O’Keefe’s House of Hamburg, Milwaukee WI, 01.05.13 The Dairyland BJD Holiday Frolic 2013 was held this weekend at O’Keefe’s House of Hamburg in Milwaukee WI. In lieu of the larger Winter Meetup’s we’ve had in the past, we scaled down to a more intimate event at smaller venue. Attendance was 60 on the dot ((an…
Corinthians 1 Chelsea 0 A pal of mine, down at my local pub, The Grumpy Troll, noticed my Chelsea cap yesterday and congratulated me and Chelsea for winning. He was referring to the Club World Cup in Tokyo over the weekend of course, and had the well-intentioned, but misguided notion that Chelsea had…
Rangers 2 Peterhead 0 Celtic 2 Barcelona 1 I normally don’t give much of a toss about Scottish football, to be honest; except for the Scottish 3rd Division which features the only English team to play in a Scottish league: Berwick Rangers from Berwick-upon-Tweed, Northumberland. I have a fondness for Berwick and follow what…
Ah yes. There is an election coming up in that colonial outpost known as the USA. But y’all know where I stand on that, so no need for me to elaborate. I’ve already cast my vote, and I’ll be keeping myself occupied as I go about my business, waiting on the results from Veltins Arena…
Chelsea 2 ManU(re) 3 If I were the editorial staff of the MIRROR, I would probably have closed this little reportage to any sort of repartee. This is my comment to said reportage, but as I type this on my trusty Adler J-5, my comment has to yet hit the MIRROR. Perhaps…
Germany 4 Sweden 4 I should write this entire post in German, but like the match Germany played with Sweden this week, it would be an insult to the German language, and all good things German. So I will refrain from even thinking about anything German, just as Mesut Özil, Miroslav Klose, Bastian Schweinsteiger,…
BATE Borosov 3 Bayern München 1 I knew there’d be a terrible upset in today’s Champions League tilts. I just didn’t expect Bayern München to be on the receiving end of that deal. I was really hoping that ManU(re)’s trek to VampireLand would have ended with CF Cluj’s gaffer, Ioan Andone, sucking…
Chelsea 1 Atlético Madrid 4 When Chelsea went down 0-3 at halftime on a Falcao hat-trick, I donned my rally-cap for the 2nd half hoping for the best, but realizing that Chelsea just couldn’t be arsed (with a few exceptions) to give it their best. And I just couldn’t be arsed to pretty…
Knights of Columbus, Madison WI, 7.22.2012 It’s been a terrible Summer. More 100+ degree days than we’d have in most centuries. It’s unreasonable and intolerable and without an end in sight, almost as hopeless as one can imagine. It’s really (as if it’s) evolving itself into the psychotecture of the human psyche, or a metaphor…
Spain Parks The Bus Yes. I will sell you a tallboy of PABST for $1.50, if you’re polite, and can tell me what you like about America. That’s fair, yes? It could be any number of things from Guns to NASCAR, parodies or paradigms. Your call. Tell me what you really feel. But remember, ONLY…
Sweden 2 England 3 Spain 4 Ireland 0 After Matchday 2 of Euro 2012, Sweden and Ireland are officially 2 and done. Or in Ireland’s case, 2 and Dunne. They’ll play their final games against France and Italy respectively, and then shove off for Stockholm and Dublin to drown their sorrows. While I never had…
Chelsea 0 Papiss Cissé 2 I can keep this one short and not so sweet. Certain players for Chelsea, the usual suspects as it were ((Malouda, Meireles, Danny Sturridge)), played like donkeys. Papiss Cissé for Newcastle played like the world class striker he’s become. And the result was a 0-2 loss to the…
