Who needs a focking DeLorean…!!? Sometimes there is so much, too much, to write about, talk about, think about…and this is one of those times. I’ve painted myself into a corner (again) after all these years and faced with everything I have to and should be talking about, thinking about, and writing about, I…
Chelsea 1 Southampton 3 I was planning to write a long-form essay on the various perils and turmoils of two cities in England….that would be Dallas and Fort Worth for those of you keeping score down at The Firehouse in Mount Horeb WI where I dropped by yesterday to have a beer or three…
Chelsea 1 Crystal Palace 2 Well….I was merely/only going to write about the Europa League again, but then THIS ugly mess reared it’s ugly focking head and I simply have to choice but pen some sort of take on it. I suppose I should just say CONGRATS Alan Pardew for becoming the ONLY Premier…
Manchester City 3 Chelsea o There is always more to everything than meets the eye. But sometimes, what meets the eye is all you need to know. For example: SCOREBOARD! ! Manchester City roasted Chelsea. Tore the blue flag from their hands as if they were stealing candy from sweet little children and burned…
Astra 2 West Ham United 1 Vitesse Arnhem 0 Southampton 2 This morning , the race for the 2017 Europa League Championship began in England at Old Trafford. ManU(re) momentarily holds a 1-0 lead at halftime courtesy of a Kyle Walker own goal that Wayne Rooney celebrated as if he scored it himself, but…
Approaching WATFORD….enroute to LEICESTER CITY. The English Premier League has thrown me a curve this season. Last season, for the most part they were tossing straight up heat, reaching back and bringing the cheese. But this season, my word, the drop on that curveball has nearly left my bat on my shoulder and an…
Queens Park Rangers 0 Chelsea 1 It doesn’t matter in sports how cute you are….sometimes you have to win the ugly way. Scoreboard, and all that. So today (as I transcribe these notes from my Egyptian Stationary Company stenographer’s notebook onto the pages whirling through my Adler J5 typewriter whirl as the hipsters sipping…
I do not know, nor do I care, how the Internet works. If you don’t know a TCP/IP stack from a stack of pancakes, don’t feel too bad there. Even Steve Ballmer (current owner of the LA Clippers and one time right-hand man to none other than Bill Gates (who also wasn’t all that…
The English Premier League Weekend in poetic form. Since I’m not well versed (see what I did there, Clive?) in classical Japanese poetry, I can’t and will not even pretend to try anything more clever than a well known 3 line poetic form based on the concept of 5 syllables, then 7 syllables and…
Jeff Gordon and Bad Brad duke it out in Texas (pics not related) Well imagine MY surprise when I found out that Bad Brad was involved in yet another fight after a sporty little NASCAR race at the Texas Motor Speedway. Who saw THAT coming??!! No, to be honest I was not surprised. But…
Chelsea trains for Sunday’s derby with Arse(a)nal. (picture related) Chelsea is ready for whatever sort of fußball Arse(a)nal brings to the Bridge tomorrow (as I write this….or 100 years ago, as you read this (if) ). Ake, Schurrle, Zouma, and Willian are ready to go, and the rest of the lads are all set.…
I knew there was a catch…. Everton 21 Chelsea 42 I’ve always thought, as I’ve mentioned before, that these bloogs and online sadness diaries were supposed to be all about me. From the day time, or blogging, began, whichever came first, I’ve always assumed this to be the case. But recently it’s come to my…
“One of the easiest things in football is to win 1-0.” Ipswich Town 0 Norwich City 1 Lewis Grabben smacked home the opener at 24 minutes off a Tettey header from Hoolihan’s corner, and….as Jose Mourinho might say, the rest was easy. It didn’t look easy at times, but Norwich was the…
Next Stop….BURNLEY….Burnley Manchester Road… The telegraph wires hum as I tap this out on a cool/warm sunny Saturday morning. The wind gives the blinds in my office a little shake, startling Sophie, our little Pekinese/Shih Tzu pup (actually not a pup…fully grown and almost 4 years old). She packs it in, and returns to…
