The 116-million dollar man

By: Jack | Comments 3 Comments

According to ESPN, Chelsea and Ronaldinho have agreed to a five-year, $116 million deal subject to the club and Barcelona agreeing a transfer fee.   America’s sports leader cites The Sun as a source (hmmmm), but the story is nowhere to be found on the tabloid’s paper’s website.  The supposed deal (clearly bollocks) would make the [...]

The Nazis Had Pieces of Flair …

By: Jack | Comments 3 Comments

… and it looks as if we do now.
During the first half of Wednesday’s 1-0 win over Reading, Chelsea showed signs of Avram Grant’s often-mentioned, but hardly-seen “beautiful football.” While I may be a master wordsmith — surprising I know — I’ll let the papers do the honors.

The Telegraph: “… Chelsea found their range, [...]

I’m sorry, I dozed off

I apologize for not commenting on Chelsea’s 2-1 FA Cup win over Wigan sooner — but I’ve been asleep since the first half. For those who thought the relentless machine had died with the departure of The Special One, think again.

Various reports across the UK reveal that our man — and your man too — Ashley Cole has cheated on his beloved wife Cheryl, of Girls Aloud fame, with one Aimee Walton. The suspected escapade took place on Dec. 8, following the Blues’ 2-0 win over Sunderland. Cole got tipsy, had one of his [...]

I need a Carling …victory

By: Jack | Comments 1 Comment

So Chelsea manager Avram Grant is seeking bigger, better trophies this season? Shocking. Regardless of his honesty, I’m not quite sure citing the competition as something Everton would rather win is a good idea. It’s not like we needed to hand the Toffees any bulletin board fodder, especially with this tie hanging from a [...]

Bunch Of Savages In This Town

By: Jack | Comments 3 Comments

Earlier this month, I left my apartment, looking forward to the start of a brand new day.  To my dismay, what did I find when I arrived at my car?  A grimy — disillusioned — message, that’s what.  Who the f*** are Man United?
