Now we know. Sunday’s final will be Spain and Holland, in what will be a monstrous contrast of styles. Spain like to defend and counter, defend and counter, while Holland play in a much more wide-open attacking fashion and come at you from all angles. It should be quite a match. One side will win [...]

Today was a big bowl of crapola. The USA were awful in the first half, fell behind AGAIN, managed a huge two goal comeback to draw even, then got utterly jobbed by a referee who went blind at the biggest moment in the match. I can’t even talk about England yet. Other things happened. You [...]

Shockingly, we’re late as usual. Been a busy day, we had the Europa Cup finale (Atletico Madrid 2-1 Fulham – sorry ABolte) and Cardiff won on penalties (please never ever refer to them as “pee kays” around me – I’ll smite thee into the stone age) to go to Wembley against Blackpool for a spot [...]

(Big thank you to my wife and kids.) The Champions League final is set, with Bayern Munich and Inter Milan set to square off [...]

Hey kids. Welcome to Wednesday’s Last Call. ATD is always happy to have you lot, except for Georger, and he doesn’t like anyone. Just kidding Michael! Don’t poop in the coffee urn, big fella. There were two draws around the Premier League this afternoon, Wigan and Pompey at nil-nil, and Aston Villa and Everton at [...]

Hey kids. It’s Last Call. Your Champions League final four have just been determined this afternoon, and honestly, I’m in a bit of shock. For the first time in ages, an English side is not in the semi-finals. Your final four are Bayern Munich (of Germany, who vanquished Manchester United this afternoon), Olympique Lyonnais (from [...]

Blame it on me, why not. Just trying to make up for my epic fail of not getting the post up, but to be honest, my sister (who is living with me currently) is approximately 8 7/8 months pregnant, and er, wanted some goddam dinner and I mean right goddam now. So dinner was made. [...]

Last Call – Hanging out the Help Wanted sign

Hey, good evening everyone. So, over the last few weeks around the Avoiding the Drop mansion/headquarters we’ve sort of come to the conclusion that we need another hired gun. This won’t be a contest, by any means (although “Win a Date with Fuse” was definitely in the discussion), it’s a real offer. We need another [...]
