I Was Here In The US And Had Nothing To Do With The Lion
So I haven't posted in a couple of days for reasons that a few people may have figured out. Let me just say that Columbus is a beautiful city and that I hope Chris Coleman scouted Taylor Twellman really well. Once he gets his starts for the national team (and can therefore qualify for a work permit in England), he should be the next United States player to don the Fulham kit. *nudge, nudge* :)
Fulham is now the new inside favorite for relegation (at least amongst the teams that have been in the Premiership and not the new promotioneers) according to the BS punditry.
But I have faith that my Cottagers are just trying to help the betting public and make the season interesting like they always do. ;)

Hey! At least we didn't get our mascot stolen like our derby partners.
Yes, in a bit of funny news straight out of a high school newspaper, Stamford the Lion has been stolen from Stamford Bridge. With the budget that Chelsea has, at least they could have posted some sort of reward, like 3 million pounds or something for its safe return.
Or, at least they could learn their lesson and buy a backup. From the above linked Daily Mirror story:
It's the details. It's the details. Chef Ramsay would not be proud.
What's next? Is someone going to leave a pile of flaming dog crap outside the main entrance to Arsenal's grounds?
If that happens, I had nothing to do with it. ;)
There are only two groups of people I can think of that had something to do with the missing costumed character. Either Aresenal fans, who wanted to get a prank over on Chelsea before the Community Shield match or plushies.
If it's the second group that stole the lion, I really don't think Chelsea will want it back. :)

In other news, I joined a fantasy pick-'em league.
I just can't believe that the Colaship starts this weekend (along with the other lower leagues). Hopefully Chris Coleman's staff can concentrate on scouting MLS and not on scouting the Coca Cola Championship.
