Last Call. Well, it’s been a day, hasn’t it. Tiger confessed. The Answer returned, if not triumphantly. Ron Artest upped his crazy quotient a bit more. Style Points is apparently out of business, we’ll have to find out what’s up with that. Remember when we used to just talk about games? Yeah, me neither. No, [...]
Fun With Wenger – Chelsea is clearly rubbish!

As usual, good ol’ Arsene Wenger sent out an email to the club members after this week’s Barclay’s Premier League clash with Chelsea, and I need to vent, so here we go. Dear Supporter, We are all very disappointed with the result on Sunday, but I feel the 3-0 scoreline against Chelsea was a very [...]

Today feels like the calm before tomorrow’s maelstrom. With Arsenal-Chelsea and Barcelona-Real Madrid back to back tomorrow starting at 11AM EST, today feels like the appetizer. Still, though, there are some interesting contests on the docket. Portsmouth and their new gaffer, Avram Grant, take on Manchester United. United certainly will be wanting all three points [...]

I try to think like a reader when I choose subjects to write about. What are YOU interested in hearing about, what can I deliver to you that will make you think or react or (hopefully) feel the need to respond to me with a comment. Today, though, you will have to settle for some [...]

With the news this week that Tottenham Hotspur Football Club has submitted a planning application for a new 56,000 seat stadium, I talked to my Dad about this development. I asked him if I could record the call so that I could present it here, and he agreed. The background here is that my Dad [...]

I honestly don’t know what to say about the Liverpool deflected goal fiasco. I understand their anger. I watched the Aston Villa/Chelsea and Arsenal/Birmingham matches yesterday, but was following along with the other matches, obviously. When the description came in over the BBC’s live scrolling feed covering all the matches, this is what was written: [...]

England makes my head hurt. Yeah, you read that right. England gives me agita, makes me crazy, never changes. Some background and context is in order, yes? Yes. England is a nation that thrives on water-cooler talk, that thrives on gossip, that thrives on talking points. It’s a nation fueled by tabloids and less-than-reputable journalism. [...]
