“All Things Cancelled” Lesser Footy Thread

Unless you are interested in the FA Cup quarterfinals (which has caused the rash of cancellations), there ain’t much going on.  I have little interest since I selfishly need both finalists to be Top 6 in the Table, so that 7th position will qualify Everton for Europa League.  Some people turn their noses up at it, and for lesser managers, or clubs unwilling to spend on the necessary depth, it can be a “poison chalice” as badass pundit Robbie Earle so deftly phrases it…but I find it fun.  Plus, it makes Thursdays really great when NFL and JV NFL are also in-season.

A really irritating thing?  No re-shuffling of the TV schedule.  So the 4 matches stayed largely lumped together, with 3 in the 10:00 Saturday window.  Headlining said lump?  Everton hosting 8th position West Brom (NBCSN), who are only 4 points behind the Toffees.  Combined with the FA results, Everton could basically wrap up Europe this weekend.  But the Albion have made it their business to defy expectations and play cuntish, annoying footy against more talented sides this season.  So…I’m wary.

Hull and Swansea are on CNBC, which will be an interesting battle with relegation implications.  A win would see Swans surprisingly close to safety, given where they were at the halfway point.  If you want generic mid-table rabble, Bournemoth v. West Ham are on Extra Time.

Sunday only brings one game, and it’s at noon to boot.  Blech.  The Redshite host 12th position Burnley, which doesn’t entice me very much.

See everyone next weekend for TVkakke, with a full schedule combined with Madness.  Then a week off coinciding with the Sweet Sixteen.

If it’s Arsenal you’re watching the loser’s bracket.

Is Sahara the one on the left or the right?

I would be so fucking embarrassed if I was eating at a table with someone this inept at using chop sticks appropriately.

Unsurprised

What chopsticks?

BrettFavresColonoscopy

I was picturing myself as those chopsticks

If I were sitting next to her, (and not married 22 years today to the most wonderful woman on the planet!) (Whew! that was close!), I’d probably keep my opinions on her chopstick usage to myself.

Happy anniversary to you and the missus. Ain’t a whole lot of folks can stay together that long.

Not missing much thus far Hippo in the Everton game. In the Championship howevah there is a big match! IF THE WHITES WIN WILL YOU PAY ATTENTION TO US??? Whoa, maybe I will use the other nickname the Cottagers to stay politically correct.

Oh, shit…

Sorry to hear it. Please feel free to choose one of mine as a replacement.

Was he at least a Capitalist Fat cat? And his means of production are being returned to the peolpe?

Much sympathies. Always awful and I hate everything on your behalf. I’m going to a funeral for my wife’s friend this morning. 34, gone from a blood clot that moved to her lung from foot surgery. Fuck it all.

The Right Reverend Electric Mayhem

Sorry man- that’s just plain shitty

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Sorry. My dog just got another treat just because.

Unsurprised

God damn it. Fuck everything.

My condolences.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Sorry, man.

Shit Hippo. That sucks so much. Sorry.
Here’s a big internet hug.

Greetings from London, folks. There’s a big rugby game today – England vs. Scotland – at 4 p.m. local time. Might help to fill the void.

Unsurprised

Can’t sleep. And now that is looking at me like food.
