This started as a jovial litle blog abouf Soccer, NASCAR, F1. But due to thei recemt ele ction that brought Donald Trunp and horrible minions back into power, it's become sowthing a bit more vicious than it was.
On The Waterfront Too bad that Lewis and Nico can’t be best pals, play nice, and get along better. Mostly the latter would be a refreshing change of pace. Their animosity towards each other really wouldn’t play all that well in NASCAR where even though teammates are just as much in competition with each…
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.…
Paulton Rovers 1 Hereford United 2 There were better days for Hereford United, but even then, they still had shite to clean up. Now, they’ve fallen to the 7th division of English football, are £1.3 million in debt, and their most recent former manager is forcing them into bankruptcy because he hasn’t been been…
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…
Nico Rosberg was booed when he took the podium In case you are wondering, and even if you’re not I’m going to tell you anyway, the Belgian Grand Prix at Spa-Francorchamps is my 2nd favourite F1 race of the season. It’s a beautiful setting, a challenging course, and coming out of the summer it’s…
“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…
ManU(re) 1 Swansea City 2 People win football games, not tactics. And the problem right there is obvious. You have to, well, deal with people. On the surface of it, on the ink-riddled paper, ManU(re) has better and more talented people than Swansea. But on the evidence of the scoreboard, that was…
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…
5000 words or More? NOT including pictures?? BRACE yourselves!! Get a 30 pak of BEER! It should be fairly obvious to most that I’m not a fan of what Malcolm Gladwell calls thin-slicing. Nope. Not for me. Give me a thick slice of something or nothing at all. No tasting glasses of beer…pour me…
LA Galaxy 0 ManU(re) 7 While Matt Kenseth and Danica Patrick were not even imaging that they would merely qualify 13th and 14th respectively for today’s Brickyard 400, ManU(re) were obvious attempting, with some success, to achieve the highest stage of manliness imaginable in front of 86,432 fans at The Rose Bowl…
Lincoln Red Imps 1 Havnar Bóltfelag Tórshavn 1 I’ll blame the World Cup for this. In any other year, I would have been all over the start of UEFA Champions League 2014 qualifying ((and also the Europa League 2014 qualifying)) bringing you a thrill a minute from more grim Eastern European shitholes…
How’s the third Fermat prime treating you now you fat Irish c**t!!! If you thought I’d be writing about USA! USA!! USA!!!’s World Cup 2014, you thought wrong. I’ll get that at some point…and that point will be when Belgium joins us on the sidelines. For now, we have a rather bizarre and intriguing…
Clint Dempsey wins the Quaker State 400 at the Kentucky Speedway Let’s get the NASCAR out of the way straight off this time. No facile conceit about being dragged into it by some cute anime babes. Nope, none of that. Gentlemen, start your engines. It’s NASCAR’s good fortune that they’re on a series of…
USA 2 Ghana 1 I have no explanation at all why it takes the perils and traumas and suffering and failures of England at the 2014 World Cup to propel a take on USA! USA!! USA!!!’s 2-1 win over Ghana on Monday night. I cannot explain that. But funny and and hah hah and…
