This Is What It’s Come To, Again…. When we last checked in on David Moyes, he’d been appointed manager of Manchester United at the behest and recommendation on of Sir (Lord) Alex Ferguson who was retiring after 26 years on the clock. Moyes was the former manager of Everton, and as I mentioned, was…
Zappa Costa Zappacosta It shouldn’t have been so surprising to me, so confounding….but given my circumstances, it was more than understandable that I would have had no idea whatsoever who Davide Zappacosta was and why he was playing for Chelsea. I perhaps should mention that I should have had no idea who or what Chelsea…
Norwich City 1 Sunderland 3 Last Sunday, the Black Cats of newly relegated Sunderland strode onto the pitch and from the off, they felt right at home. They played well….okay….they played well enough to win. Yes, they had only 35% possession, but….they made it count. They played the match with all the…
Amtrak 8 will be arriving on YOUR planet shortly!! I’ve pored through my photo archives and it dawned on me that I really have almost no pictures of Amtrak 7, the Empire Builder from Chicago to Seattle. Almost all my Empire Builder pictures are of the eastbound Amtrak 8. It’s most likely down to…
Coming Soon to a Premier League Near You… I’m gripped by this feeling that the new football season in England is starting a week early. I might be imagining it, but I’m NOT imagining this huge rough hand gripping me by the scruff of the neck and hauling me sorry ass to my Adler…
Wayne Rooney Goes Home To Roost With far less fanfare than That Villan John Terry, Wayne leaves Man U and returns to his old home club, Everton from whence he sprang into Britain’s….well, England’s at least….football imagination so many years ago. There wasn’t the major salutations that surrounded Terry’s departure from Chelsea. Which does…
Our Nation’s 234th Typically Celebrated By Some You maybe read the title correctly. But…most likely not. In these days of social media and other shortcuts that act as a simulacrum of communication, punctuation as well as spelling has been hoisted with the petards that will light up the skies of America later this evening.…
Scotland 2 England 2 Scotland defeats England 2-2. So the headline should have, could have been. After all, when USA!USA!!USA!!! played England in the 2010 World Cup the New Your POST headline was USA beats England 1-1!! Scotland needed a win to have any shot of actually qualifying for the 2018 World Cup in…
Arsene Wenger’s revenge….. I am currently watching the replay of yesterday’s FA Cup final between ArseAnal and Chelsea. My thought was that today it would turn out different than it did yesterday when ArseAnal and Arsene Wenger strode jauntily off into the sunset with a 2-1 win. But at the 3 minutes and change…
“This doesn’t look at ALL like Alabama…” It’s Talladega, Baby!! And if don’t know what THAT means, then you’ve been living a very sheltered life. It doesn’t mean a run for the roses, or chugging a quart of milk in Victory Lane. I’ll give you a clue: THIS!! It’s Talladega, Baby!! So I won’t…
I’m glad I don’t have to write anything….THAT would SCARE me…. So….what are you afraid of? Death perhaps? Public speaking? Sex? Losing your job, your spouses, siblings, parents or…..perhaps your virginity? A plague of spiders….snakes….mice….rats….or any number of hissing insects? Or that sickening horrible claustrophobic fear of being buried alive. Afraid of the dark?…
Sebastian Vettel WINS the Australian Gran Prix There is, as there always is I suppose, a horrifying backlog of various sports music cultural political and artistic information, just to name a few, that if I captured them in bare hands and crushed their life blood onto these pages more frequently, perhaps it would seem…
I promise to keep it simple…but…. The NASCAR 2017 season is upon us like a comet about to hit the Earth. The Advance Auto Parts Clash at Daytona is this Saturday and the Daytona 500 qualifying for the front row is this Sunday afternoon. So I’m getting on with it. But there is a…
“We could get Keith Urban, Radio Birdman, and that Nick Cave guy to do the halftime show at the Australian Grand Prix….” There’s been a changing of guard at the top of Formula 1 that has been years in the making and should have happened years ago. But Bernie Ecclestone clung on for 40…
