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…
Shakhtar Donetsk 2 Chelsea 1 At the 70th minute mark of today’s Champions League tilt I decided I’d had enough of this flummery and shut off the computer feed, lowered the Blue Flag to half-mast, and toddled off to the boozer. Yes, I left my 2008 Chelsea away shirt on, and my…
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,…
Antigua and Barbuda 1 USA 2 England 5 San Marino 0 FIFA World Cup qualifying for Brazil 2014 is once more in full swing, or full something. In both Europe and the New World, all over the planet, everywhere except in Brazil who qualifies automatically because they’re the cordial hosts for 2014, and…
It’s Talladega, Baby!! And you know what THAT means!! CREAM PUFFS!!! Yes, you read that right. And if you think I’m just kidding about that, you savages think wrong. This time, dignity, style and culture will finally hold sway. Something has to hold sway in this terrible autumnal season of quisling replacements officials and the…
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 Stoke City 0 1 is an odd number. Chelsea scored 1 goal today at Stamford Bridge. Ashley Cole scored that goal at the 85 minute mark, an odd number. And as any True Blue fan knows, Ashley Cole wears the #3 shirt, also an odd number. Chelsea were, in a Shakespearean…
Apres le 23-10 defeat by the Green Bay Packers, Bears QB Jay Cutler extols upon the virtues of Chardonnay and Foie Gras. Jay Cutler and Eric Clapton share one thing in common. The Japanese pronounce their names wrong…a more apropos happenstance in Jay’s case. This post was meant to be about upsets, and I’m…
All Of Europe Awaits The Results Of Tonight’s Federated Auto Parts 400 from Richmond International Raceway While I’m quite sure the lads from England were awestruck when their bus/limousine carried them through The Gates of Chisnau enroute to their 5-0 trompage of Moldova yesterday (as this is written), the real thought at the back…
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…
Here Come The Bicycle Fascists, AGAIN!! Nobody (with the exception of the bicycle fascists, of course) in America would give a fock about professional cycling and the Tour de France if not for Lance Armstrong. Not even Greg LeMond moved the needle as much as Armstrong has. If an American is not winning it, or…
Marseille! Ici je viendrai!! The English Premier League teed off yesterday, so football is back! Screw the friendlies, the Olympics and the NFL!! Now this doesn’t mean that Silly Season is over with. The transfer window is still open, and with that in mind, the BEST silly season rumour out there is Joey Barton going…
England 1 S. Korea 1 (4-5 on pens) It all came down to this on a rainy night in Cardiff. The roof of Millennium Stadium ((how aptly named)) was closed to the pouring rain. But as it was, the fate of Engla…..ERRRRR…GREAT BRITAIN was naught sealed off from it’s essential element. The game that could…
Lap 6 Denny Hamlin led The Fall of Mankind from the pole position. As it happened…I was late for the start of the Brickyard 400 and thus was also left out of the start of the precipitous Fall of Mankind…so the engines started and Denny Hamlin led the charge without me. Which I suppose…
