OK, so it was in fact Julian's Rangers who got gubbed 5-1 in a friendly, and not the forces of darkness from the south side, but a dreamer can dream, can't he?
I know it means nowt, but nice to see Brown and McDonald on the scoresheet.
Bring on the Chicago Fire and the MLS All Stars next week. Surely history won't repeat itself?
Just up the road from Kara and myself, a scene from our local Post Office. I know how the bloke feels. The queues and general bad humoredness of all concerned once you get in that building would try the patience of a saint.
I love the non-reaction of all the other customers - 'Oh, a scene. . . I'm not really here . . . This isn't really happening . . . if I stare into the distance, it will all go away . . . . la la la'.
Who thought so many English people lived in Brooklyn?
Via Alan J's blog - who got it from someone else - a wee factoid about the wrath of that bloke who looks like Jerry Garcia.
Also looks like Satan is misunderstood (or just crap at his job). Maybe he can get Matthew Freud to do some PR for him to turn around his image.
Hat tip to Will Rubbish and 'SP'.
My favourites have to be Bayern Bru, FC Copenbadly and *cough* Torpedo Belgrano.
I believe that there's a bit of a tussle at the moment between Hajduk Spliff and LSD Eindhoven over the signature of Richie Hart.

Christ, I need to start listening to some new music.
UPDATE
On second thoughts, with choices 1 through 7 I was doing so well, as well.
A wee bit muso . . . a wee bit obscure. The recent announcement of the one-off reunion tour affording me the opportunity to splice in a solo song from the most talented Spice Girl to come off as oh so ironic (but secretly liking the song . . . the cynics can take a running jump off of Ger's old platform shoes). Throw in a bit of revolutionary hip hop from The Coup to impress any passing American student r-r-r-revolutionary politico who stumbles across the blog on their way to the next cute agit-prop event, but I fuck it all up by revealing my true colours in choices 8, 9 and 10: Laminated Smash Hits magazines parked neatly in the back of the wardrobe alongside my K-Tel compilation albums.
It's been a protracted business, but R*ngers have finally got their man.
However, on spotting the cheeky juxtaposition of quotes on the online BBC Sports page, I can't help but wonder if the website tech geek at the Beeb is a Celtic fan with a sense of humour?
Btw, R*ngers are going to win the SPL title next year. Wish I was joking, but my sense of humour doesn't extend that far.
Poor old Wolf Blitzer. Playing out the role of impartial journalist, whilst MM rips him a new one. One wonders if Moore would have been allowed to steamroller his way over a journalist on Fux News in the same fashion?
"Tanaka just happened to be the unlucky cockroach on the kitchen table when the light was switched on."
Love that line from Michael S. in the latest post from the Socialism Or Your Money Back blog.
