Great piece. I was set up to be sad tonight (assuming that their would be more horrible news). You honestly helped my week end happier. Thank you.

This advice is a million times better than any shit Oprah had to say.

no a lens with a zoom and a telephoto lens are two different things. Not even remotely asemantics thing.

The crux of the league (at least on the field) isn't signing "past their prime" European players.

England, stop thinking that you are up there with Germany, Italy and those crazy Dutch bastards. Just admit you belong in the same rung with the other so-so football countries, and be happy.

They like to make fun of Wayne Rooney, he looks like Shrek

This brings me so much joy because the level of smugness the English can generate could power half of California.

Irish, Indians, Zulus, Aborigines, Chinese, Native Americans etc etc don't count, I guess.

OH GOD PLEASE LET SOMETHING OF NOTE HAPPEN IN THIS MATCH.

It went off an English player. If the other team passes or hits the ball backwards you're played onsides.
