Hello readers, I am filling in for this mid week match Chicken Prediction/Preview. Louis is still recovering from his “Watch Party” on Sunday night where something shocking happened… The Chickens turned on him. It was all a misunderstanding. After the time ran out on Austin FC’s season match against the Portland Timbers. Louis started talking…
Gentle reader, I believe Cicero wrote it best: “O tempora! O mores!” O, the times! O, the customs! Our beloved El FC has been, to be charitable, not reaching its potential. When passers-by see me and my hens as we stroll along one of our fair city’s avenues, I am often asked how I feel…
EXT: view of a suburban house. INT: We see the kitchen and dining room table separated by a countertop. A staircase to the second story of the house is in the background. ANGELA is in the kitchen preparing breakfast. GAVIN is seated at the table looking at his phone eating breakfast. OWEN walks into the…
Gentle reader, Wednesday was a game. It was a game to remember. It was a game to forget. It was Dickensian to its core: good guys, bad guys, evil goings on, everything. It’s nothing to be proud of, but my hens nailed the score. Our dear friend, Phil West, was, concurrently, right and wrong. He…
Remember how I said the Frisco match last week was “To the pain” a la Princess Bride? Apparently, we didn’t go far enough in our consideration of pain after experiencing another heartbreaking defeat Wednesday against Seattle. Austin scored 2 goals and should have had at least a draw. I don’t give a shit what MLS…
Open with an interior view of a suburban house. We see the kitchen and dining room table separated by a countertop. A staircase to the second story of the house is in the background. ANGELA is in the kitchen preparing breakfast. GAVIN is seated at the table looking at his phone eating breakfast. OWEN walks…
Gentle reader, our beloved El FC are playing badly right now. Not down bad. Just plain bad. How do we turn this around? This helps not in the least: But, if we’re being honest, just having these two somewhat available is good news. It difficult to try and be even somewhat optimistic. We here at…
Saturday night felt like that scene in The Princess Bride where Westley describes what a battle to the pain means. Like, yeah, we aren’t dead in the water. But mother fucker that one hurt. There’s no time to wallow in our sorrows though as the Verde & Black play their first home match in a…
Gentle reader, as Thomas Paine tells us, these are the times that try men’s souls. A horrible showing last week. I willed my hens to be optimistic, but should’ve known better. Blues was my theme. I clearly need to heed my own words in the future. To make matters worse, the club issued this ….
Verde family, I gotta tell you, I’m pissed off. Not necessarily at the 6-3 shellacking last weekend in swampy St. Louis. Yes, it sucked, and I did not enjoy it at all, but its MLS and that shit happens on occasion. The reason I’m pissed off is because I missed out on obvious free money…
