Chicago Addick living in Bermuda: Final thoughts
http://chicagoaddick.blogspot.com/2010/07/final-thoughts.html
Chicago Addick living in Bermuda. Monday, 12 July 2010. I will admit it was hardly matadors versus total football, but I found the World Cup Final. Quite riveting. Blood, thunder, sweat and tears. it was all there and I was glad it was won within the 120 minutes and not have to go to the lottery of a penalty shoot-out. Of course I was saddened by the Dutch defeat but less bothered by the way the Dutch played than almost everyone else. It was dancers versus thugs'. In many ways the Final summed up the who...

Chicago Addick living in Bermuda. Thursday, 15 July 2010. Man Utd launch new shirt. If I was still working in Chicago I no doubt would be heading across the street to Millennium Park. Later this morning to attend my companies worldwide unveiling of the new Manchester Utd shirt. Blazoned with my companies name on the front of it. Last night clients and employees were invited to watch players train at Toyota Park. Aon signed a 4-year 80m deal a year ago. The away kit yet to be released is supposed to be an...

Chicago Addick living in Bermuda: Facts and fiction?
http://chicagoaddick.blogspot.com/2010/07/facts-and-fiction.html
Chicago Addick living in Bermuda. Friday, 16 July 2010. A lot of Charlton related stuff going on. Yesterday I think the general feeling was of delight after reading the announcement of Christian Dailly's new one-year deal. Rumours of Danny Wilson at Swindon stealing a march on us quickly went away as last season's player of the year agreed to stay at The Valley, I hope as club captain. Lera can do a job on the left too, which with Grant Basey up in Aberdeen on trial. Addicks with nothing to do (like me) ...

Play-Off Symmetry | Chicago Addick
https://chicagoaddick.wordpress.com/2015/05/22/play-off-symmetry
The online home of Chicago Addick now residing in Bermuda. By ChicagoAddick on May 22, 2015. There’s a certain symmetry to the 3rd and 4th placed teams, 4th and 5th in League Two, reaching the play-off final, if you like the ‘two best teams’ after those already promoted. You can also add the Conference into that unusual statistic this season as well. There were big gulfs in the end of season points tally in all three divisions, especially League Two, and unusually true to form the ‘better’ si...League On...

Bermuda | Chicago Addick
https://chicagoaddick.wordpress.com/bermuda
The online home of Chicago Addick now residing in Bermuda. I remember when I got my first business trip to Bermuda, I was a little awestricken. It’s an awe-inspiring place. Looking out of the airplane window coming into land all one can see is ocean, and with the descent the swell of the water comes closer and closer, but then suddenly like an iceberg, is a narrow collection of islands. The colour of the iceberg though is British racing green. 8216;Bermuda is like no place on earth’. I often compare livi...

The season in one post | Chicago Addick
https://chicagoaddick.wordpress.com/2015/05/06/the-season-in-one-post
The online home of Chicago Addick now residing in Bermuda. The season in one post. By ChicagoAddick on May 6, 2015. Nonetheless by the time pre-season promotion favourites Derby came to The Valley we were three games unbeaten and Peeters had warmed the Addicks’ fans with his over enthusiastic tête-à-tête with then Wigan boss Uwe Rosler the game before. Peeters became pretty adept at playing players out of position, and Bikey became a regular up front towards the end of games as the head coach appeared to...

Chicago Addick living in Bermuda: Wish I had ginger hair too..
http://chicagoaddick.blogspot.com/2010/07/wish-i-had-ginger-hair-too.html
Chicago Addick living in Bermuda. Wednesday, 7 July 2010. Wish I had ginger hair too. So those Southend morons who booed Nicky Bailey's every touch last season will hopefully feel slightly less acerbic now that the money winging it's way to them for the cut of his transfer fee to Middlesbrough will probably save them from being wound up this week. The Ginger One's long drawn out transfer to Boro was completed today. I look forward to Saturday's team at AFC Wimbledon. All Quiet in the East Stand. Ten thin...

Chicago Addick living in Bermuda: My Chicago - #16 Chinatown
http://chicagoaddick.blogspot.com/2008/05/my-chicago-16-chinatown.html
Chicago Addick living in Bermuda. Friday, 16 May 2008. My Chicago - #16 Chinatown. Centered around Cermak Road and Wentworth Avenue south of the downtown area near the Red Line 'L' train stop, recently the scene of a tragic accident. It was established in 1905 when a number of restaurants, shops and laundries (430 in total! Were opened by Chinese immigrants, many of whom had ridden the railroad away from the Pacific Coast. In August is the curious Miss Chicago Chinese Pageant. And in the Autumn is the Do...

Chicago Addick living in Bermuda: Famous Bermudians - Shaun Goater
http://chicagoaddick.blogspot.com/2010/07/famous-bermudians-shaun-goater.html
Chicago Addick living in Bermuda. Thursday, 8 July 2010. Famous Bermudians - Shaun Goater. The first in what will believe me be a short series. Clearly recognisable by his charming smile I often see Shaun Goater driving his kids to school or just hanging out talking to some of the locals. There is no hero- worshipping here though despite his achievements elsewhere, Goater is more respected than revered by Bermudians. Encouraged by his football-obssessed Mum and well known Bermudian football coach Andrew ...
