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.
If I had mind to, I’d tear that fucking statue down and send it back to France…. A mind, they say, is a terrible thing to waste. But sometimes, in my case anyway, I’m not so sure. A mind can be very much like time and money. Money shines more brightly when it’s wasted.…
Nicklas Bendtner eating a yogurt. “It’s been awhile mate, yes?’ he said. I’m approximating his inflection ofcourse, since his actual speech would be more of a Danish accent, but what the fock….it’s all for review and information purposes only so it gets the job done.

The transfer window is still open, and with that in mind, the BEST silly season rumour out there is Joey Barton going…
Chelsea 0 Papiss Cissé 2 I can keep this one short and not so sweet. Certain players for Chelsea, the usual suspects as it were ((Malouda, Meireles, Danny Sturridge)), played like donkeys.
