Chicken Prediction: Emo Days

Posted on April 29, 2023April 28, 2023 by Louis de Ludovico

Gentle reader, the results of our El FC have been less than stellar. Our last match was not good. My beloved hens did pick the score exactly. Phil West? He came close. In the immortal words of Archimedes, I shouted “Eureka!” The poor results have turned my hens into emo hens. They’ve internalized the pain…

Chicken Prediction: Rolling Up to the 90746

Posted on April 22, 2023April 22, 2023 by Louis de Ludovico

Never, gentle reader, did I think this season would unfold the way it has so far. Our last game was a bit of a dud. Yes, my hens predicted a loss. In their defense, if you actually watched the game, it felt like a loss. Going into detail, trying to figure out all that is…

Chicken Prediction: Take the Good, take the Bad.

Posted on April 15, 2023April 15, 2023 by Louis de Ludovico

Gentle reader, it’s been a trying season for us so far. Our woes continued last week, losing to LAFC. We can’t claim it as a surprise, though. Both our lovely hens picked the outcome and so did Phil West. Let’s not mince words. We’re playing badly. Having said that, let me be clear: we’re not…

MLS Cheering Guide – Match Day 8

Posted on April 14, 2023April 13, 2023 by Uncle Tony P.

We’re not going to talk about last week’s Austin FC match.  It wasn’t pretty.  It wasn’t positive.  Let’s just move on. But you know what we will talk about?  The rest of this incredibly dumb and fascinating league where the GAM is made up and the rules don’t matter.  Don’t believe me? Remember that guy? …

Josh Wolff’s Tactical Commandments

Posted on April 11, 2023April 11, 2023 by Charles Peacock

It was a day like many others at The Compound. We sadly sat at the breakfast table thinking about Saturday’s loss to LAFC, looking out on the chickens as they pecked, stared, and plotted. It was while I was mid tea sip that my phone buzzed, which is strange because my phone is set to…

Chicken Prediction: Rushing to Judgement

Posted on April 8, 2023April 7, 2023 by Louis de Ludovico

Gentle reader, it has been some time since El FC last played. We can all agree it was a frustrating night. And, yes, my hens recalibrated and nailed the score. I would like to humbly add that, although I appreciate the optimism of Phil West, he failed in his prediction. Whenever I walk along the…
