Talent never goes unnoticed. Sure, we’ve chuckled along to Jack Bauer’s MLS playoff preview and Walter Mercado’s take on the Premiership, but behind the fantasy lied a cold reality: both made pretty good guesses. Granted, gambling a mortgage on a taurot card is not recommended. But, in addition to the stock “copyright lawsuit threat [...]
The doll came off as needy, hysterical, and a compulsive liar. But I’d always been a sucker for dark haired dames.
She had certainly selected a trendy enough spot, if you ignored the closed storefronts, that is. I felt like I was in a developer’s dream, but a banker had shaken him awake once the finances [...]
The Goblin King was unavailable for an comment on the upcoming English action, so instead we have turned to an equally astute sage for counsel. Walter Mercado is the star-reading attraction of Don Francisco Presenta, a Spanish language staple variety hour whose longevity makes Bob Barker appear a puppy.
Mr. Mercado terrifies small children, may or [...]
The summit of the Premiership cleared while the battle for fourth place tightened as the Blues and Red Devils raceed ahead of the pack. Meanwhile, in Spain, the two horsed race got neck & neck as Barcelona sputtered while Madrid took a step forwards. A picture says a thousand words, but with a few hundred [...]
The last time we ranked the top EPL teams with our super secret algorythm, David Bowie lent a glowering hand. This theme is neither power, nor glower, nor meteor shower, but rather the flower. Cantinflas, the flower of the golden era of Mexican cinema, whose career eerily mirrored the top clubs in England.

Do you remember The Invincibles? No, not the Pixar film ¨The Incredibles.¨I am referring to the Arsenal squad of 2004, a fond time for Gunners fans. Refresh your memory. Well, as key members reach the twilight of their playing careers, they feel a yearning, a calling.
Granted, these are not salmon returning to the waters of [...]
The theme for this batch of linkups is age, as in, how do we as society view age. Well, if you are old, it is bad. If you are young, it is good. Okay enough philosophy, on with the video and image links, most of which are old yet good.
First off, Fredorrarci, with help from [...]
This weekend provided a delightful dish of plump pro soccer treats on both sides of the channel, as Real Madrid fell behind Barcelona, and, in England, the Scouser free fall continued. A picture says a thousand words, but surely a few hundred words, carefully selected and organized, should suffice….
A prediction is a stab in the dark, a desire to stick your head in the Gypsie´s bag and see the future. We stir the past, iron the present, and imagine the future.
A predilection is the tendency to think favorably about a particular object or person. I have a predilection for United. Pardon my diction, [...]
