The above formula details the likely success of a penalty kick. I hate to admit this, but this sort of thing probably would have really helped me in math. More than that though, the penalty formula is, strangely, one of the reasons I can appreciate sports even more now though. With the vast success of […]

The Pragmatism of Bacary Sagna
This is one of those “intertwined” posts. The Arsenal fullback on his team’s mentality: Following their Champions League exit this week, Arsenal are now focused solely on the Premier League but, with a three-point gap to make up on leaders Chelsea and only five games remaining, Sagna wants to see his team-mates adopt more of […]

Housekeeping
First up, you’ll notice I finally added my fellow TNC commenters’ blogs under “Ta-Nehisians.” They blog on quite a variety of topics; here I was all thinking everyone just has esoteric blogs on political communication and whatever the fuck else they feel like.

Posting is going to be light this week. Normally I might even try to live blog the Chelsea match considering I’m not at work. Unfortunately, I’m not at work due to the Norovirus. It’s evil.

This is part of at least a two-part series I’ll be doing on my NYC trip this weekend. As those who know me will attest, I’ve been a Chelsea FC fan for years now. However chances to properly support the club have come few and far between. This sadly, is just a fact of being […]

As reported yesterday, Chelsea FC lost to Man U in the Champions’ League Final on Wednesday. John Terry, center back defender, someone who I’ve never seen take a penalty in my years of watching Chelsea play, missed what would have been the clinching goal, slipping as he kicked it.

Don’t Let Him Slap You, KG!
A crushing loss for me and my fellow Chelsea supporters yesterday, going down on penalties 6-5. While some may argue it was John Terry’s blown penalty that would have won it, you can’t blame him too much because he kept out a goal earlier.
