(Not that Christian Slater NBC show.) Liverpool and Chelsea. Chelsea and Liverpool. Thought it
seems like this is the 4,210th time the two storied English clubs have played in the last four
years, it's only the 20th time since the 2004-05 season, including in the Champions League each
season. Is it as tedious as 'Freddy v.
It should come as no surprise that when I finally received my December issue of 'FourFourTwo'
rating the mag's top 100 players in the world, there was nary an American to be seen. I'd wager a
safe bet that aside from Aston Villa keeper Brad Freidel there wasn't a Yank within sniffing
distance. Maybe that will change when Landon Donovan sets the Bundesliga on fire with his receding
hairline,
Couple odds and ends: * MLS goes to Philly. Cue the Rocky music. It's hard to find any downside
here. It creates a nice Northeastern corridor with DC, Philly, New Jersey and New England, so away
fans can actually go to some matches within reasonable distance. Now, if only the league were to
wisely move Kansas City to St.
No lengthy preamble today, aside from it's fun to watch the England national team continue to
struggle. Good times. Also, gotta love ESPN2 scheduling the Galaxy/Fire match Thursday night,
barely 24 hours after said England friendly, hence a certain Beckham fellow (and Landon Donovan)
couldn't play. Maybe television will finally get MLS to honor FIFA dates.
A couple months ago I had a conversation how soccer games rarely end 2-2. Was there any science
behind this statement? Obviously not. A lot of this theory likely has to do is when a team goes
ahead either 2-1 or 2-0, depending on the time, the opponent usually tends to mail in the rest of
the match.
"Pull me out of the aircrash, Pull me out of the lake, 'cause i'm your superhero, we are standing
on the edge. The head of state has called for me by name but I don't have time for him. It's gonna
be a glorious day! I feel my luck could change." -- Radiohead, "Lucky" The question posed by
wonky-eyed Thom Yorke & Co.
"I'm a weed in Hitler's bunker!" -- George Costanza Earlier in this season I used that quote from
Costanza's meltdown at Play Now Sports to describe Wigan Athletic. That's probably unfair. The
Latics are more of second-rate dictator, a Chiang Kai-shek, as it were. No, today we'll use the
allusion for everyone's least favorite world football superpower -- Chelsea.
It's potty time again So with only 19 days to go till the start of the new season, overpaid
primadonnas all over the country are packing their family's up and moving to the other end of this
glorious land, and placing their orders for their new Mazzeratti's with leather trim and 25″
alloys.....
Print this out and save for May to let me know what a clueless jackass your humble writer is.
(Sorry guys this post was accidentally scheduled to publish on Saturday, oops.) 20. Stoke City --
Anyone got a good Harry Potters pun at the ready? 19. Hull City -- In Windass we trust. 18. Fulham
-- I know Brian McBride and Andy Johnson, you're no Brian McBride.
Second acts are always tough. For every great sequel -- think 'The Empire Strikes Back' -- there
are countless second offerings that, although okay, pale in comparison to the originals -- 'Die
Hard 2', 'Predator 2', 'Wayne's World 2' etc. I have no idea what Cristiano Ronaldo's favorite
movie is. I'd guess it's a close tie between 'The Fast and the Furious' or 'Finding Nemo'.
Short preamble to picks today. Very short. In fact here it is. Click on this link to the Guardian
featuring readers photo-shopping the entire Newcastle boondoggle. At this point what else is there
to do for fans of Newcastle? The team you live-and-die with is in the hands of borderline morons
out to make a buck.
In a notebook somewhere I have some names scribbled down under the heading, "What the hell
happened?" Mainly its pop culture figures who've faded away from the spot light, like Reginald
Vel Johnson, aka Carl Winslow on 'Family Matters'. (Guess those Urkel residuals are paying the
rent.) Anyways, why not apply the concept to the Premier League since every clubs seems to have a
couple players
Credit to the unstoppable Ace Cowboy for tipping me off to the incredible goal dance celebration
between Sunderland's Kenwyne Jones and Djibril Cisse. After do some research via the Black Cats
message boards and video sites, it turns out it was inspired by Dance Hall music. Go figure. If my
photo-shopping skills were better I'd have been Santa Claus hats on them, either way hope it sets
up up
