It’s like clockwork. When the League is competitive at the top, hype the title race. When it’s not, hype the relegation battle(s).
But what to do when it’s all done and dusted? Aside from all four contenders doing their best to fuck up the last 2 Champions League spots? I guess just watch because we’ll sure miss it in a few weeks’ time. At least until Most Glorious South American Euros start.
Spurs head down to the South Coast to play the mercurial Cherries. Super early, with apologies to yeah right (7:30, NBCSN). If you know what to expect from this clash, you’re a fucking liar. Harry Fuckface Kane’s absence had little immediate impact, but it’s become so obvious that the attack has to go through Son…that it’s going a bit tits up. Bournemouth are in 14th, with no mathematical path to the top half or relegation zone. All about playing spoiler, and winning that home finale. Spurs need 2 points to clinch Top 4 status, due to their massive Goal Differential lead on the field.
Wolves and Long Ded (and now playing better) Fulham get spotlight treatment at 10:00 (NBCSN), with Wolves in the lead for the last Europa slot (DISCLAIMER – only if City win the FA Cup). Wolves also get the Redshite to close the season, so they really need all three here. The only other match in the window (NBC Gold) is Saints/Hammers, which is completely meaningless.
You get TWO afternoon tilts, for a change, with nigh-ded Cardiff hosting “we’re just happy to be here” Palace (12:30, NBC), followed by Liverpool taking a tricky trip to Newcastle (2:45, NBCSN). Goes without saying, Hippo will be a yuuuuuuugggggge Barcodes supporter for one and only one afternoon.
Sunday, United go to Ded and Loving It! Huddersfield (9:00, NBCSN) while Watford head to Fulham to play Chelsea (9:00, CNBC). Times are weird when the teevee folk don’t separate these two mass-supported sides in the viewing window. Chelsea could still back into Champions League by winning Europa. They are well-poised to meet Arsenal in the final.
Speaking of the Gooners, they close out the weekend with Brighton (11:30, NBCSN). Boy howdy, do the Trash Birds appreciate needing fuckall from this to survive (and maybe not even to clench, unless Cardiff win on Saturday). City host Lester on Monday Night Footy (3:00, NBCSN) and hopefully clinch the title at home. It’s 90% in the barn, anyway.
Everton played its last home match on Friday Night Footy, smacking around dire Burnley 2-nil. Toffees sit in 8th position, hoping for Wolves to cock it up. But we still have a shot at Europa – thus the lead-in pic.
What else do we got? I guess Dortmund could still conceivably catch Bayern, but with Bayern hosting dreadful Hannover…don’t expect much fireworks this weekend. Dortmund are away to Werder Bremen, which is considerably trickier.
Our Young Boys have hit a bit of a lull, and will look to get their peckers back up away to Sion (10:00 Sunday).
Enjoy the viewing and/or gambling!
JUST HIT HIM VON, IT ISN’T 15 YARDS!

Elway drafts QBs like he drives.
I think driving drunk is pretty much mandatory when you’re a Broncos exec.
Foreman was one of the best fighters I ever saw.
But he let Ali get in his head.

I posted this a few nights ago but I’ll do so again because this is by far the very best breakdown of the fight I’ve ever come across. Ali was faced with a seemingly impossible path to victory and figured out a way to get the W.

Yup.

Anybody watching NBC right now? They got this show with horses and they strap a midget on the back and man do those horses run like heck trying to get it off!

I’m watching women’s college beach volleyball. Forecast is SANDY.
Did another long run today but my legs weren’t interested towards the end. I park my pickup at the top of a huge hill and ended up walking most of it. A certain song by Blues Traveler came to mind…

good, I’m not the only one conversing with voices in mah head
I have $15 on 2-2 at 17.5 to 1. Preserve this scoreline, ye Barcoded twats!!
I made it to the store and back home….
Now I gotta go marinate some breasts.
Chicken breasts, you sick fuckers.
I went to the gym again and am still fat. I call shenanigans.
Shenanigans: “Hello?”
BFC: “I’d like delivery please.”
Shenanigans: “Again? Will you be having the usual extra-large Meat Molesters pizza with double meat, 3 pounds of honey garlic wings, one order of cheesy bacon-wrapped Potato Bombs, mozza sticks with Alfredo sauce and deep-fried cheesecake for dessert?”
BFC: “For sure. I went to the gym today!”
Shenanigans: [says very quickly] “To use the bathroom?”
BFC: “Huh?”
Shenanigans: “What?”
LOL
But he is kinda Hebrew.
Does that make Mrs. BFC Shebrew?
Why does my brain do these things?????
Having met BFC in real live life type things…..he is not fat.
Having met myself in real life, agree to disagree
Nah, you’re totally not.
If I was gay, I’d do ya.
looks like there are some crazy cool boats on san francisco bay today….
cool!
Equalizer from Christian Atsu, former Everton winger. WOO!!!!!
Wow just saw two(2) lesser footy goals. The New vs Liv game is good so far.
Draw is even better than a Reshite loss, because they will go into the last game trying to make up a Goal Differential of like -8. And hoping City loses, which they won’t.
Damn it!
I CALL NEXT!!!!!!!!!
WHO THE HELL IS UPVOTING THIS TRAGEDY?

I see you downvoted it; this needs to be a lessons learned!!
Very real chance that the League title and ALL THREE relegation spots will be wrapped up before Lesser Footy’s “Super Sunday.”
OK, I gotta go into town and pick some things up at the store.
And I’m much better at parking now since my court case with the RDU Airport….
So all the pie gifs have a rebuttal. Point is can you please pick up some more pie.

Don’t you think they’d get dizzy?

If the Avalanche play the Hurricanes in the Cup Finals, should the NHL be Canceled for being INSENSITIVE to natural disaster survivors? Click subsrcibe and like to find out.
When they named them there was CONTROVERSY because avalanches kills some peoples.
There’s a horse race on right now with horses named Encore Kitten, Hungry Kitten, and Silver Kitten, and I’m really concerned I’ve stumbled onto some weird furry porn.
Go with Encore Kitten.
Apparently she repeats.
Hungry Kitten beat Silver Kitten, so go ahead and cancel the lemon party, I guess.
Damn horses with their stupid sexy names.
Travers was the absolute tits in the net for the Cherries today but that 2nd redcard on the Spurs was a shit call.
The Cherries offense was a congealed puddle of poo but the victory was sweet.
Barcodes need to pull out the draw (I have moneys on 2-2) so the day isn’t a total waste
oh well, 8th it is
Just like when there were two “Steve Smith”s in the NFL, there are two “Sebastian Aho”s in the NHL. Or at least there were, until one was eliminated the other day by Caroligna. They couldn’t be more different, however, since one is from Sweden and the other is from Finland.
which country is MOAR baby-punchy?
Whichever country The Road took place in, I’d say.
/The drink kind of punch, you see.
if Wolves get drawn here, then Everton would need all 3 points away to Spurs next weekend.
In honor of May 4th, I think this afternoon I am going to get high as balls and check in to see how my good friends on the Rocinante are doing.

While I like Sufjan Stevens just fine, that album does not rock hard enough to justify such a face-melting title.
is a delightful little album, Sufjan is a cheeky fucker
Considering most sprots leagues (domestic at least) have 30 or so teams, any kind of championship drought of less than 30 years is unimpressive and frankly, quite pedestrian. Looking at you, everyone jerking off the Canes for making it to the third round of the playoffs after only 10 years of squalor.
Exactly. I’ve always thought it was dumb for colleges to fire coaches who are decent but not winning their conference titles in like three or four years.
I could totally see breaking recluse rules to see these guys play:

Since deadspin apparently used up all their ink writing about Caster Semenya without bothering to mention that she’s genetically XY and isn’t bothering with any coverage of the 4OT thrilla in Portlandilla last night, does anyone have any thoughts?
My thoughts of course are who the hell cares because either team will just be cannon fodder for the Warriors anyhow.
hey man, the Nets are out, is all endless meaninglessness
None of what you done typed makes any sense to me whatsoever.
Is Caster Semi-whaeverya the main character in the new Face/Off sequel?
wanted a big enough fight there to see things end 9-on-7
32 minutes at 9 and counting, Spurs still ain’t concede
they made it to injury time, but Cherries finally nick it
2 wickets for Rajasthan. They may have a chance.

have to admire the Cherries’ commitment to the draw, you’d never know they were 11-on-9 here

The strap on the back of crocs is so they stay on during sex.
Spurs now down to NINE. Son will be suspended for the Everton match, as well.
COME ON YOU WHITES (against Wolves in a bit)
Currently watching Delhi v Rajasthan. I can get IPL but not LigaMX what is wrong with this picture?
like teh Mexicans wud get out of bed 2 play this early ,, smh
They don’t like to get up early but they have to so they do it real slow.
That was a cheap ass play by Son.
I wouldn’t let that Son go down on me.
quality shade!!
Likely not Coach Parcells’ favourite side – Finland’s JaPS
I come here for the smarm but stay for the geographical correctness as it pertains to Stamford Bridge.
Huzzah good Hippo! Teh Mighty Fulham will win again to make it 4 on the trot and have all white supporters continue to ask where the fuck was this all season.
I am torn. I surely want Wolves to lose so maybe Everton can has 7th…but that still requires the Toffees to get a result away to Spurs (who might be well pissed off). Plus Wolves may then be downcast for the finale against the Redshite, and I ain’t taking any chances with those cockwombles.
If there isn’t a famous soccer match called “The Occurrence at Stamford Bridge” then I say we declare independence again!
