Wake the Fuck Up to Lesser Footy!!

Original Art randomly left on the counter by one of my kids mid-week. Seemed fitting enough, FFS.

No matches next week, so these’ll have to do for awhile. FUCK SAKE. Hull travel to Arsenal to kick things off (7:30, NBCSN) and oddly enough, tis the Tigers who are on form, and the Gooners who are madly trying to find their footing. Footy can be mental at times.

10:00 brings your usual buffet of shite, highlighted by United hosting Watford (NBCSN) and Middlesbrough hosting surging Everton (CNBC). My Toffees all of a sudden have dreams of catching United and/or the hated Redshite, and a trip to Boro is just the kind of fixture that kills dreams off with a scoreless draw. WATCH IT HAPPEN.

Big NBC’s spotlight dance has Liverpool hosting Spurs (12:30), in what will hopefully be an entertaining match that secures Tottenham as the clear favourite for the #2 position, and the Shite’s position in the express elevator downward. CHUH CHUH.

Chelsea are away to 12th position Burnley (8:30), to start NBCSN’s Sunday Funday. I will boldly predict this to be the upset special of the week, and for the runaway freight train to briefly de-rail in this tricky matchup. Burnley will at least get a point from this one. Leicester go to Swans next (11:00) and we will see whether the Foxes can put some distance between themselves and relegation. Swans also need a result to push past the heartbreak of having lost their draw at Man City in extra time last weekend.

Speaking of Man City, they visit a Bournemouth side in turmoil for Monday Night Footy (3:00, NBCSN). Will be interesting to see how the Cherries respond – in 14th position, they are not completely clear of relegation danger.

Enjoy the matches, everyone.

Today we salute you Statue of Liberty tax preparer. You ensure everyone gives and gets their fair share, all while delivering a crushing air guitar solo, sometimes even in an ape mask. Your dedication to your crafts are why we bang our heads to you while holding our W2’s.

Hello, Lasagna. I’m WCS. Nice to meet you.

Shogun Marcus

Would you like to be inside me Lasagna? I know we just met, but you smell and look so good. It just seems right.

Good…… don’t bother waiting until I’m cooler.

Hmm this game of “Sophie Turner or Karen Gillan” isn’t as hard as I remember

Rabbit stew!

Nice reference.

I think if I were ever to meet Jason Chaffetz I would give him a gift: a tin foil hat that is guaranteed to keep paid protesters away.

...

I’d rather give that rat some cheese in a trap.

Fuck yeah this made my day.

It’s that time of year to catch up on the Oscar nominated movies. Today’s choices are Moonlight, Hidden Figures or LA LA Land. I’ll choose based on showtime and when I get done with gym and grocery shopping.
2 movies down and only 7 more to go.

Shogun Marcus

I haven’t had any interest in any of the nominees this year. Usually there’s one at least.

laserguru

I really liked Arrival and Hell or High Water was a good movie but nothing to be nominated over.
I just like going to the movies this time of year and I hate the summer blockbuster bullshit.
Plus at my movie theatre there’s a full bar and you can order beer at the concession stand and take it to your seat.

Shogun Marcus

Always a plus. I forgot about Arrival, that did look alright. Well there’s the one, quota reached.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

My interest has vanished; the only time I go to the theater is for an independent film every now and then. I used to do something similar every year, but it seems Hollywood has kilt de joy for me.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

That and it seems like more of a hassle to cut the hole in the bottom of the popcorn container these days.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I know, right? I swear to God they changed the material those cartons are made out of; it’s a lot tougher these days.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

The rash from it is terrible.

I like their cookies the best. They’re a little more expensive, but very relaxing.

laserguru

If I didn’t know better I’d swear that was Arya Stark advertising for cannabis cookies.

And I would be fine with that.

Shogun Marcus

I’m 95% convinced that is her.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

It is indeed buddies Maisie Williams and Sophie Turner who I like more and more as time goes on. Plus bong buddies.

laserguru

Holy shit. I didn’t recognize Sansa without her goth Sansa look.
That’s fantastic.

This had me cackling with laughter. This is funny as hell.

Of course searching for these one remember Rule 34; The Photoshop Fake Clause.

Actually, I find it comes in handy because….NC SU(CK)

So apparently Lesser Footy fans are pretty adept and enthusiastic about songs (rather than chants) – POSH SPICE TAKES IT UP THE ASS, DOO DAH, DOO DAH, is what comes to mind for me. It would be nice if they helped us Americans out by coming up with some catchy tunes about Trump we can sing at events.

Curse of Marino

I finally got around to watching “This Was The XFL” And man Costas comes across as such a haughty dipshit, GREGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG would approve.

litre_cola

He is the little guy who could never make a team but still thinks he would have been the best if COOCH would have given him a shot.

Horatio Cornblower

Very few things would make me root for Vince McMahon, but him punching out Costas would have been one of them.

It’s a goddamn football game Bob, not the Holy Grail.

Curse of Marino

Its amazing how close that came to another Jim Everett moment, you could tell Vince was itching to knock the fuck out of Costas and he pretty much admitted as such.

laserguru

That interview showed him to be the pumped up, self inflated, over compensating, bloviated twat waddle that we all knew he had inside of himself.
Fuck you Bob. They took the Olympics from you for just this reason.

litre_cola

In all honesty it seems that there is so many crappy matchups every week and 1 good one.

litre_cola

No talk of the YUUUGGGE Fulham Wigan tilt at the cottage?

Oh right, we are terrible and 1 tier down, I will leave now.

What do you have against sake?

7 am my time and those look delicious

ballsofsteelandfury

7AM my time and they DO look delicious!

ballsofsteelandfury

Although they are really poured incorrectly. Too much beer is in the glass. The sake will bomb in and spill all the beer. You need a bigger glass for the beer.

:pushes beer goggles up nose:

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

That sounds like something Jim Irsay would do if beer goggles were made out of a mixture of cocaine and methamphetamine.
