What did I miss? The post-reunion recap
By: Jack |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 |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 [...]
Update: Chelsea in the U.S.
By: Jack |The full schedule with details has been released for Chelsea’s preseason venture to the United States. The Blues will be competing as part of the World Football Challenge, a four-team competition that will stretch nationwide and include Milan, Internazionale and Club America. The tournament will run July 19-26.
Chelsea opens against Inter — and The Special [...]
Rant Box: Chelsea v Tottenham
By: Jack |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 |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 |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 |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 |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 |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 [...]
