What did I miss? The post-reunion recap

By: Jack | Comments 3 Comments

A few words of advice: Don’t — I repeat, don’t — attend your college reunion.
I took in my five-year reunion over the weekend and it was one of the biggest wastes of time in the history of man. No joke. You expect these things to be a little awkward, but at least somewhat lively. Wrong.

There’s [...]

More good news

By: Jack | Comments 6 Comments

Can you tell I’m avoiding touching on the weekend’s festivities? You’re quite the observant ones, aren’t you?
Whatever.
Following that debacle, it just keeps getting better for Chelsea. Primo striker Nicolas Anelka has been ruled out for three weeks because of a bruised left toe. Really, a toe is going to keep you out at the business [...]

Rant Box: Chelsea v Tottenham

By: Jack | Comments 20 Comments

Well, this should be interesting.
Tottenham is riding a five-match unbeaten run, sparked by a goalless draw against Arsenal. Chelsea haven’t lost under interim manager Guus Hiddink, a run of six wins in seven matches. Something’s gotta give at White Hart Lane.
If I had to guess, I’d say it would be the Tottenham defense. Then again, [...]

CL Draw: Who would’ve thought?

By: Jack | Comments 3 Comments

It’s a miracle! No, I’m not talking about today’s Champions League draw. My internet connection is back, son!
Let’s move on.

So, my best friend sent me a text message at about 9 o’clock this morning asking is I had seen the CL draw. Since 9 a.m. is more like 5 for me, I ignored and went [...]

Sorry, people!

By: Jack | Comments 7 Comments

Dudes, sorry I’ve been MIA (No Paper Planes) over the past few days.  Unfortunately, I might be absent for a little while longer.

My internet connection is on the fritz at the house and the only way I can get on the web is at work — which, quite frankly, is a b**ch.
Anyway, I’ll do my [...]

Rant Box: Chelsea v Man City

By: Jack | Comments 6 Comments

First things first, lets all thank the Scouse for their help. I mean, a 4-1 thrashing of Manchester United at Old Trafford is just what the doctor ordered, eh? Too bad it wasn’t us, yes, but we’ll take it anyway me thinks.
Next, to the business at hand — a must-win for Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.

The [...]

The Special One v Chelsea

By: Jack | Comments 1 Comment

So Jose Mourinho is going to join Chelsea on the field. Except, to my chagrin, it will be as an opposing manager.

The Special One is bringing his Inter Milan team stateside this summer for a two-week training session on the Left Coast. Inter will play three exhibition matches this July, one being against our Blues [...]

Zizou loses it

By: Jack | Comments 5 Comments

The great Zinedine Zidane has a mancrush on Steven Gerrard. How big is it? Well, he admires Stevie so much that he went as far as to call him the best player in the world at the moment. He then took it another step by comparing him to Chelsea legend Claude Makelele.
Word from Paris is [...]
