June 8? Like the June 8 that's just seven weeks away? Wow, I'm just jealous that the UK can have a national election without "The Election Reality Show" that our US TV networks put on to boost ratings every four years: 24-hour coverage of 12 months of campaigning, six months of state primaries...
The Astros have never won a World Series title, but we look very good this season in the early going. This seems to be the year for teams to do things that haven't been done in awhile...so you never know.
And we will toast the Albion and its supporters many times tonight.
Cheers -- have a drink for me. Tonight, I'll be hitting a couple of "soccer bars," of which there are 5 or 6 in the city now -- there were 2 ten years ago, so... progress? -- wearing the blue and white stripes, spreading the BHA love.
As a Texan who adopted BHA in 2000 after a jeweler in Houston, while showing me engagement rings, told me tales of His Club -- a proud but mismanaged bunch, playing in a lowly track stadium, barely survivng in the League..."but we just signed a boy from Bristol Rovers who can't stop scoring!" --...
11am Eastern (10am in Texas) on Fox Soccer Channel. It's very, very (very) rare we get to see the Albion on TV here (this might be the first one on live) -- it's well worth barbecuing something special and having an early beer or five.
The FSC TV ad for the game is a bit embarrassing...
I used to post a bit at the Official Site, before it went paywall. Before the season, I went over to see there to see what was going on, and I could almost hear the tumbleweeds rolling through that ghost town.
