Abbreviated Picks
By: Taylor Rockwell |I was actually forced to work a full eight hours today, so here are the picks and editorial hilarity that I could throw together in roughly 15 minutes. Home teams in caps.
EVERTON 2 – Fulham 1
BORO 2 – Elijah Wood FC 0
POMPEY 1 – Wigan 1
Arsenal 3 – STOKE 1
CHELSKI 3 – Sunderland 0
WEST BROM [...]
United 2 – Elijah Wood FC 0 Highlights
By: Taylor Rockwell |I was talking with Daryl yesterday about how I’m worried that if Berba doesn’t get his daily dose of cheeseburgers and milkshakes, he’ll go into a funk and start running even less than he already does. And then he did one of the dirtier moves I’ve seen in a while, which I can only assume [...]
Fergie Appears to be Hitting the Blotto Extra Hard
By: Taylor Rockwell |This morning, King Franco FC President Ramon Calderon mocked Fergie’s latest bit of transfer fury. The Scot alleged that Calderon’s side were never actually interested in signing Gabriel Heinze, and that they were only using the Argentinean as another ploy to lure Slave to the Madrid.
“I don’t believe they were interested in Heinze – [...]
The Weekly Picks
By: Taylor Rockwell |Last week was a rough one, dear readers. Out of a maximum possible amount of 60 points, I took home a grand total of five (3 for nailing the United score, and 1 apiece for picking Hull and Arsenal to win). Not exactly a strong showing. So, here comes this week’s rebound picks… and I’m [...]
Man Utd destroy Celtic in ‘Battle of Britain’
By: Wayne Farry |Champions League, Group Stage
Old Trafford, Manchester
Man Utd 3 – 0 Celtic
It had been billed the ‘Battle of Britain’ but in truth it couldn’t have been further from a battle. Whereas WBA put up stern resistance in the first half at Old Trafford on Saturday, Celtic never really looked like troubling United, who dominated from start [...]
Could Mourinho replace Sir Alex at Old Trafford?
By: Wayne Farry |Since the recent announcement from Jose Mourinho that he wants to return to England when his Inter contract expires, it’s got me thinking. Mourinho couldn’t be hoping for a return to England with United, could he?
In my opinion, yes! Since the departure of Carlos Queiroz to Portugal, and the subsequent proof that he is, [...]
Apparently Having 46 Injured CMs = Not A Big Deal
By: Taylor Rockwell |I was set to not write anything else today and instead actually focus on being a productive member of my company. That went right out the window when I saw this article on Manchester United’s website.
The Friday Links
By: Taylor Rockwell |One of my favorite sportswriters is ESPN’s Bill Simmons. He has fostered my intense love of all things sport and a simultaneous hatred for all things Boston. That said, he is also the man who made it possible for me to waste an entire day at work via his “weekly links” segments. He appears to [...]
A Return to Form and The Weekly Picks
By: Taylor Rockwell |Reader Disclaimer: This is my first post in roughly two weeks, and the absence appears to have been noted by readers and editors alike. I recognize that the strongest asset a writer can have is continuity, and it only takes the reader a couple of visits with no new postings before they say f*** off [...]
4 Questions to Ponder Prior to Blackburn’s loss to the Red Devils
By: Taylor Rockwell |1) Will Berbatov’s ass be less fat and lazy against the Rovers?
Yes, I know that Berba had a brace against AAB, and both the goals were pretty and made me squeal with glee and clap like a small child… but not enough to curb my sinking feelings that Berba may be the fattest skinny person in [...]
