Punks Jump Up To Get Beat Down

Greetings from the left coast. I finally made it out to LA after steam pipe explosions, cab drivers who wanted to perform the Hajj in their taxi, delayed flights, staying on hold for 25 minutes and screaming babies. Delta can shove a 737 up its ass sideways. Anyway, I'll be bringing updates and pictures from today's Chelsea closed practice as well as the Chelsea vs. Beckham-less Galaxy match on Saturday. In the meantime here's your fix, Pookie.


Poor Goldenballs. All this pressure to save American soccer (as though there's something to save) and his ankle won't cooperate. There's a good chance David Beckham will be held out of tonight's MLS All-Star game vs. Celtic and the Galaxy's match against Chelsea on Saturday due to an ankle injury. Of course, this would be a disaster for the MLS and ESPN who have hyped his debut to unsustainable levels. What would they say if it turned out his ankle wasn't the real problem?

The Sun reports that Chelsea players have been texting Beckham to tell him they're going to beat him like a rented mule on Saturday.
“It’s just a bit of banter between the lads. David can take a joke and he knows they don’t really mean it. At least he doesn’t think they do.”
Frank Lampard, Joe Cole and John Terry are the suspected culprits but if anything happens, our money is on John Mikel Obi.

They're probably joking but he's probably decided to take himself out of the game anyway. If he can get punked by a mouth breather like Rio Ferdinand, he'll fall for anything.



It also doesn't help that the Galaxy were bent over by a bunch of ankle-kicking Mexicants last night.
The coach Frank Yallop said it was "flat and uninspired," and added: "We were slightly nervous with David here. We were scared to get on the ball, scared to
make mistakes. We let ourselves down."
This is going to go as well as the Magic Hour and Chevy Chase Show combined.
