2015 in Review, pretty much…. If you expect a look back here, a year in review and all that dross, then your expectations are pretty much wrong. Go cry into a glass of cheap champagne on your own time. Also, if you expect any New Year’s Resolutions and similar false bravado here, well…I guess…
Stoke City 1 Chelsea 1 Chelsea 1 Liverpool 3 Stoke City 1 Chelsea 0 Chelsea 1 Norwich City 0 Tootenham 0 Chelsea 0 Chelsea 0 Bournemouth 1 Leicester City 2 Chelsea 1 I was going to stand in the rain, in an empty stadium, or my front yard, whichever is closer, and rant about…
A terrible thing happened on October 27th, 2015….but….I’ll get to that in a minute. Meanwhile, here are a few things I will not write about today. I will have nothing to say about the terrorist bombing in Paris. That ‘s been covered by everyone else on the planet, and I hate to say it,…
It’s Talladega, Baby!! And you know what THAT means!!! Yes indeed, it means exactly what it has meant around here all these years….the things that gives most men a raging boner. But now, this time around, it will also mean things that give some men a raging boner. And no, I’m not referring to…
Look at my Fucking Red Trousers!!!! When Roy Hodgson led his team out to play Switzerland….oh wait a minute. He’s leading the Swiss national team out to play in the 1994 World Cup…most likely the United States which despite the happy smiling faces, would end in a 1-1 draw as Erik Wynalda equalized just…
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…
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…
UCD 2 F91 Dudelange 2 UCD, or University College Dublin pulled off quite the upset in the opening round of the Europa League by beating a real live professional squad (albeit one from mighty. mighty Luxembourg) Yes, the team is an actual college team of college boys. NO pros, or even semi-pros here. Think…
B36 Tórshavn 1 The New Saints 2 I’m not the least bit Catholic, mind, but I’m all for Saints, the existence of Saints, the beatifications of Saints and the rest of (most of) the dross that goes along with, up to a certain point. It think it’s a good idea for the most part.…
Just How in hell did Lewis Hamilton just lose the Gran Prix of Monaco?? I don’t know. You tell me. Hamilton was ruling the day at Monaco from lap 1. He built a lead of 13 seconds ((13 minutes it might as well have been)) and was virtually lapping the field. At lap 64,…
It’s Talladega, Baby!!! And you know what THAT means!!! Yes, it means that, and more, and everything else, except for perhaps that Boys Love nonsense we were subjected to awhile back. Nothing against Boys Love, mind, if that’s your thing, GO for it. But in the context of the racing at Talladega, on the…
Basically, I (left) post to my blog, and then you (right) read it. I’ve fallen off the weekly posting wagon and have been left behind in a trail of dust somewhere in the general vicinity of Iowa County/ Layfayette County line in SW Wisconsin. So there I am, a bit frazzled no doubt. But…
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…
