So Chelsea did enough tonight to get a 2-1 win over DC United. The whole match was meaningless in the grand scheme of things, nothing really on the line for either team. Plus, you can’t take seriously a match where the opposition puts in 10 subs at half time! I found it hard to care […]
It looks likely that my earlier PC troubles were caused by a bad power supply. Thanks to Jason who pointed out that it might be heat, but since the symptoms happened right as I started it up, when all the components are relatively cool, I didn’t think it’d be heat related. I swapped in the

United get’s a midseason report from Steven Goff at the Washington Post . There’s nothing that you haven’t already seen on BigSoccer but a good catch up if you haven’t been slacking off at work.
