Soccer Time

Liverpool struggled this week, losing at the last minute to Tottenham and then needing a last minute penalty to draw Atletico. Torres gets back this weekend though so hopefully the goals start picking up. Sorry there were no picks last weekend, but I was in Chicago so I was too busy drinking myself stupid.

Arsenal (1) vs. Man Utd (1)
Wigan (2) vs. Stoke (0)
Hull (1) vs. Bolton (0)
Sunderland (1) vs. Portsmouth (1)
West Ham (1) vs. Everton (1)
Liverpool (2) vs. West Brom (0)
Blackburn (1) vs. Chelsea (3)
Aston Villa (3) vs. Middlesbrough (2)
Man City (4) vs. Tottenham (2)
Fulham (1) vs. Newcastle (1)

Hitting the Road....

....with none of my best friends. All by myself, from Chicago to New York. 13 hours spent listening to Alkaline Trio. It was awesome. I also got the chance to listen to the Thursday/Envy split, and the Thursday songs are awesome. Really awesome.

Ben Rose

He threw up in an empty case of beer and it was then thrown against the wall spraying vomit everywhere. Genius

Chelsea Sucks

This is basically turning into an all-soccer blog. I promise you, I'll have more updates soon, especially after I get back from my Halloween weekend trip to Chicago. It should be a great time, and I'll post all the details of it. Until then, here are the updated standings between Chae and I. Congrats also go out to Liverpool for kicking Chelsea's ass, at Stamford Bridge no less!!!

Pick Time

So Chae did acually do his picks, but didnt bother to post them until after the games were played. I smell something fishy. Even with Chae's advantage, we still managed to tie.

Devin: 5
Chae: 5

The season's totals are:

Devin: 33
Chae: 31

Hopefully Liverpool will take down Atletico today even without Torres in the lineup.
