/Canada won the women’s Olympic futbol, a nation rejoiced. Seriously, FUCK YEAH.
Good morning all! It is that time of year again where Euro club futbol kicks off and I watch with no rooting interest because my team is run like a plaything for a spoiled brat child. Jesus, I would rather have Hippo running Fulham than the Khan kid. Speaking of which Hippo is here as well to spread his usual merriment and joy around the clubhouse. (BALLS too!) (Wakezilla as well!) Who left the damn door open?
Due to me being really bad in fantasy futbol, and Fulham getting relegated again I have done minutes of research for this!
Arsenal
King Hippo – I really want to hate these motherfuckers, but Handsome Mikel makes it hard. The Gooners certainly misfired with a few really stupid “old guy” contracts, but seem to have learned their lesson since. They’ll be in their Europa comfort zone. Predicion – 5th.
litre_cola – I too am in the same boat. They are the only “big club” that I do not despise with all my soul. Holy shit they had a lot of guys leave but in reality only guys I recognize leaving are Dani “Cedric” Ceballos, and lol David Luiz. Incoming is Nuno Tavares from Benfica and I have no idea who that guy is. All of this tells me that indeed they will finish in around 6th as they did show some life at the end of the last campaign. 2I do like Aubamayang and Lacazette as they always entertain whether it be ridiculous misses or world class goals. Prediction – 6th
Balls – I feel bad for the Arsenal fans. I specially feel bad for those people that read Nick Whatshisface’s novel that got made into a horrible Drew Barrymore movie and decided to become Arsenal fans because of it. I mean the word “ARSE” is right in the name!!! Why would anyone root for this team unless they were submissives craving humiliation? Different Strokes, I suppose. Predicción: 7th.
Wakezilla: I used to tolerate Arsenal until I became more active online. Social media Gooner fans are cunts and basically the epitome of the mediocre white male that expects everything handed to them because of who they were. Seriously, these fans are delusional:
Can't believe Saka is better than Mbappe man.

— 𝕲𝖃 (@_gx52) June 28, 2021
The reality is, thanks to the Kroenke’s frugalness and club incompetence, Arsenal is a mid-table club team and they appear to be permanently stuck there. Arsenal has some names coming in, like Ben White, Nuno Tavares and Lokonga, but they’re all under 23. Combine that with the club not getting rid of many of their deadwood–due to the Covid economy– and DM, Thomas Partey always getting hurt, and I forsee a tough season for Arsenal.
/LOCKER DOOR FLIES OPEN
Hi folks, it’s me, Horatio Cornblower, noted Arsenal fan and man about town. Litre asked me to add my two cents to this preview, likely because Wakezilla hadn’t answered his phone yet and they needed the word count. I explained that my two cents about the Premier League was probably worth 1 cent in Zimbabwean currency, but Litre just muttered something about “Fulham”, “fuck Tony Khan”, and “nothing matters anymore anyway”, so I said I’d do it. Then I forgot about it until the day before it was due, so get ready for some extremely uninformed opinions and prognosticating.
Horatio Arsenal is my team in the Premier, so you’d think I’d know all about them.
Nope. I can’t name more than three guys in the line-up, at least not for sure. I had no idea, for instance, that David Luiz was gone, although that is definitely addition by subtraction. I do know and like Lacazatte and Aubamayang, but the former is erratic and the latter is old and signed to a long-term contract that he certainly didn’t live up to last year. The team is owned by Stan Kroenke, (#Kroenkeout), and as Wake points out, he hasn’t invested in the team and as a result they’ve fallen out of perennial Top 4 status to “mayhaps we can make the Europa, eh wot?” status, which is not good. Our coach, as Hippo points out, is indeed handsome and our Twitter presence, as Wake points out, is indeed over-the-top obnoxious. Neither is likely to change this year, but I tend to be more pessimistic than most of my fellow authors about their chances this year. I’m with Wake in that they’re more likely a middle of the pack team than one likely to challenge for a spot in the Champions tournament. 10th place seems about right.
Aston Villa
King Hippo – Did you know that Jack Grealish is a cunt? Because Jack Grealish is TOTES a cunt. Another mid-Table side that’s been up to at least moderately intelligent bidness. SIGH, must be fookin’ nice. Predicion – 8th.
litre_cola – Jack Grealish is a fucking scumbag. (He has since been sold to Man City, still a cunt) The prince or king to be guy cheers for them, John Terry coaches them and he also is a scumbag. Ashley Young comes in from Inter and I can tell you that I had forgotten about that guy. They got Ollie Watkins last year who was Brentford’s talisman so he is not my favoUrite either. They bought Buenidia from Norwich for 38 mil but I have no clue who that guy is. They will be better this year but still are a bottom table side. Prediction – 12th
Balls – Everyone seems to hate Aston Villa but that, to me, seems about as good of a use of your time as hating the Detroit Lions. I mean, they are never going to achieve anything, so what’s the point? Maybe if you were born in Birmingham and decided to root for the whole team all your life but still. There are other places to live in! /gets reminded about Brexit. Ok, never mind. Predicción – 11th
Wakezilla: Aston Villa has got some massive big dick energy going off right now. First, they moved former academy player, and actual piece of chicken shit, Jack Grealish to Man Shitty for 100 milli. They’ve since added: Tuazabe (stupidly loaned from Manchester United. Tunazabe was very good last year and shut down some big names. I would have loved to have seen him stay and get PT with the Reds), Danny Ings, Leon Bailey, Buendia, and are heavily linked to Ward-Prowse and Bissouma. If those two signings go through, Aston Villa are going to be legit monsters. I actually think one of those signings will happen.
Prediction: 4th place and a trip to the Champions League.
Horatio: The only thing I know about Aston Villa is that their kits are ugly and Jack Grealish is a cunt. Both things are still true, but Grealish has taken his talents to Man Shitty, leaving Aston Villa with safer street and ugly kits. Wake seems to like their new additions, I don’t know anything about any of them. The average position of Aston Villa when adding up the total numbers of all the positions assigned by the guys wo wrote before I did is 9th, (sort of) so I’ll say 9th. It’s science!
Stupid Brentford
King Hippo – Don’t worry, Litre. They’s coming back down to Mighty Whitey’s level. Untill then, we all can enjoy the Oprah and Gob “bees” memes. Predicion – 19th.
litre_cola – Don’t care, their new stadium looks like it was made by a child. No soul, no culture, smug Euro manager, small club, we will yo-yo with them next year. Prediction – 18th because nothing is easy.
Balls – What’s a Brentford? Is this one of the teams that got promoted from the Championship? /checks Google. Yes! Actually, I’m going to call them Team Heathrow because they’re just about a stone’s throw from the twin runways (09L/27R and 09R/27L). A couple of things: 1) Did you know that Heathrow, as busy as it is, only operates TWO runways? That’s crazy to me. LAX has four. 2) The runways are perfectly aligned in an east west direction. The 09 means one runway is at 90 degrees to north and the 27 means if you are landing in the opposite direction, you are at 270 degrees to north (going west). The More You Know… Predicción – 17th
Wakezilla: Up until my early 30s, I watched wrestling (RIP Bobby Eaton). But over the past 3ish years, I have stopped watching it all completely because it fucking sucks. NXT used to be my saving grace, but once they decided to move it against AEW, it got WWE’ized and became boring.
As for AEW, from what I’ve seen and heard, it’s the worst god damn wrestling program out there and people should be ashamed to even call that shit wrestling.
I preface this because I feel awful for Litre. The Mighty Nawt Racist Whiteys should still be in the Prem. But the problem is, the Khans are shitty owners who only own sports franchises because that is what (they think) cool billionaires do.
Instead of keeping Fulham in the Prem and saving millions of dollars by buying a few players, the Khans let the club rot and are once again demoted. The money that is– and has gone to– the likes of Christian, Big Show, Mark Henry, CM Punk, Rusev, Bryan Danielson, probably Ric Flair, Bray Wyatt and Adam Cole would have been more than enough to keep Fulham in the Prem.
I honestly don’t know how the fans put up with that shit. Something has got to give. For the sake of Fulham supporters, hopefully that means the Khans get bored and sell the club.
Fuck AEW.
As for Brentford, well, you won’t Bee-lieve just how much honey this young team will get every time they give a bigger club a sting before losing. In other words, Brentford is quite bee-table.
Prediction: 19th place and at the end of the season, at least half of the starting XI gets picked apart from the rest of the league, and the manager will get a job offer to coach Arsenal next season. Ivan Toney will likely be the Teemu Pulki of this season, where he will start off hot, making everyone demand their club sign him, only for him to return to earth.
Horatio: I have a soft spot (in my head) for newly promoted teams, so I did a nominal bit of research on the Brentford Bees. This is their first trip to the top division of English football since 1947. To celebrate, their goalkeeper announced he wanted to play for Arsenal, and their center back went home to that soccer hotbed of (checks notes) Norway? Sure, whatever. Their striker is someone named Ivan Toney, who is apparently coveted by many clubs with more money and resources than Brentford. One will no doubt pay Brentford a king’s ransom for Toney, (so it won’t be Arsenal), and they’ll get relegated and hopefully spend the cash to lay the foundation, (build the hive, as it were), for a longer stay their next time up, currently scheduled for 2096. 20th with a bullet, and perhaps a big bag of cash on the way out the door.
Brighton
King Hippo – Of the vile shite at the bottom of the Table, Graham Potters Trashbirds were easily the best watch. So, they’ll get cut into pieces and relegated. No good deed goes unpunished. Also, do you think “Hove” gets all jelly that ppls shorten this side’s same to Brighton? I bet they does smh. Predicion – 18th.
litre_cola – Cool stadium, sexsi style of play, lost a lot of guys but it appears they all went out to smaller clubs and that tells me no big loss. They brought in 3 guys from Benfica, Ajax, and RB Salzburg so they could fit in to a bottom side. Prediction – 16th
Balls – Wait, is this Brighton & Hove Albion? /checks Google. It is! Let’s get the names right, boys! Did you know that Albion is an ancient name for the island of Great Britain where Scotland, Wales, and England are located? Someone should do an Euler diagram for that whole region… /checks Google. Someone did!
Predicción – 13th
Wakezilla: Teams like Brighton are cute to have in the Prem for a few seasons. They’re young and full of vigoUr and often well-coached. But once they over-stay their welcome and just hang out at the bottom half of the table for years on end, they get annoying and you wish them nothing but relegation. Now, it’s time.
Brighton lost Ben White (to Arsenal), Mathew Ryan (to Real Sociedad), Davy Pröpper (to PSV Eindhoven) and Alireza Jahanbakhsh (Feyenoord). Their back, Lamptey may still be hurt and Bissouma may be leaving for Villa. Despite all these sales, Brighton hasn’t put any money back into the club. I just don’t see how these guys survive another year.
Prediction: 20th in the league. That was a good run, Brighton. See you in 2 years.
Horatio: You will never convince me that Brighton Hove & Albion is anything but a section of The Shire, and its roster filled with Hobbits. A season or two ago one of their players broke the Arsenal keeper’s leg, (I think is name is Brent, or something like that), with a dirty play and only got a yellow card, so since then I’ve had an unreasonable hatred for them. Fuck it, get relegated BHA. 19th.
Burnley
King Hippo – Fuck these guys with a rusty heroine spoon already. Why won’t they go down already? Oh yeah, Darkest Timeline. Hippo forgets. Predicion – 15th.
litre_cola – All lives matter eh you racist pricks? Go down and never come back up. Your stadium has a “flu” and nobody wants to go to that shitpile. It isn’t quaint, or historic, it is just shitty like the O.co in Oakland. This is the year they go down. It has to be and if so I do not see them yo-yoing. Prediction – 20th
Balls – As a person not really invested in the EPL, it is kinda funny to me how these shit teams get a bunch of hate. What did Burnley ever do to anyone? Apparently, they call themselves the Clarets which reminds me of the James Bond line in Diamonds Are Forever in which the stupid American thug that’s trying to kill Bond and Tiffany Case on the cruise ship reveals himself to be a thug because he didn’t know the wine he was pouring was a claret. Given his love of wine, I’m surprised Litre doesn’t like them more. Maybe he doesn’t like clarets. Predicción – 16th
Wakezilla: Wanna know which team gives Manchester United fits? It’s always bloody Burnley! Fuck this scrappy team and their racist fans. The worst thing is, the owners are believing in Dyche, and have begun investing heavily on scouts, training grounds, advanced staff, etc. With more money being allocated off the field than on it, Burnley might get caught and dragged into relegation.
Prediction: 17th. Burnley is narrowly going to escape relegation by staying freakishly healthy and have Dyche’s new depth players be perfect for his garbage system.
Horatio: I know nothing about Burnley, but any team that names itself after booze is OK with me. Everyone else seems to think they’ll finish just above relegation and I am a follower not a leader, so I’ll put them at 15th.
Chelsea
King Hippo – Hey, how come don’t nobody EVAR mention this squadron’s actual London neighboUrhood? Talk about keeping one’s light hidden under a bushel. I expect a bit of regression this coming season. Does this group really know what it wants to be yet? Predicion – 6th.
litre_cola – They don’t even play in Chelsea, but I can’t say shit this year as KHAAAAAANNNNNNNN is still running Mighty Whitey. I did like Teuchel when he took over for hot pants Lampard Tigeter the better show your blue vein mate). I like a lot of their players and it legit kills me. I just noticed that swarthy Olivier Giroud has taken his talents to AC Milan and that is interesting because Timo Werner misses far more than he converts. They still have N’golo Kante (I have a crush on him), Jorginho (Italian?), Havertz but Werner is baaaad when left alone. However I do think this is the year they challenge for the top. Prediction – 2nd
Balls – My niece has a friend named Chelsea and, from what I hear, she’s a bit of a slut. Apparently, that’s a common trait for girls named Chelsea. Much like Jennifers are always hot, Chelseas tend to be… what’s the best way to say it…. in need of attention? I think this fits the football club to a T because they’re obsessed with being one of the Top Six in England and yet they won the Champions League last year and no one gave a shit. Predicción – 5th
Wakezilla: Chelski has finally found their coach, their goalie, their starting defence and starting midfielders. Havertz will be seasoned with another year, and there’s no way Timo Werner is as bad as he was last season, right?
Prediction: If the rumours are true and Chelski sign a striker like Big Rom, Harry Kane or Haaland, then Chelski wins the prem. However, if they don’t sign a big name striker and rely on Werner, I see Chelski placing 5th.
Horatio: They’re owned by a Russian billionaire who doesn’t care about money, because he can always raise the price of nickel, whereas Arsenal is owned by an American billionaire who made his money by marrying into the Wal-mart family, and therefore can’t raise the price of anything so much as a nickel or else the pajama-wearing, slak-jawed yokels that make up his clientele will take their business to K-Mart. Must be nice, Chelsea, must be nice. They’re rumored to be after Romalu Lukaku, who I’ve always liked even if I almost surely just spelled his name wrong. Love Big Rom, but he’s not young anymore. Gonna guess Chelsea takes a step back this year, but maybe not a big one. I like them for 5th.
Crystal Palace
King Hippo – Talk about your complete mystery box. They had like 11 or 12 (no, seriously, it was double digits) contracts expire. Footy Manager always warns of the perils of making too many changes in the same window, but this really needed to happen with Palace. Fortune favoUrs the bold? I dunno. Predicion – 14th.
litre_cola – Roy Hodgson has retired and that man could keep a team in the Premier League. The Fulham faithful will always have a place in our hearts for that man. The Eagles just signed the backbone of Fulham’s team last year the Dane Andersen and I will say it was sad to see him go. Looks like they haven’t lost anyone of note besides Andros Townsend who consistently looked out of position in any situation. I do love me some Wilifried Zaha, so much so I may drunkenly buy a Chinese jersey right now! I reckon that they stay just above the drop all season as a tribute to Uncle Woy. Prediction – 15th
Balls – Crystal Palace sounds like the name of a dance club, an expensive alcoholic drink, and a stripper. I imagine you could hit the Crystal Palace Trifecta if you were to be drinking a Crystal Palace at the Crystal Palace while dancing with Crystal Palace. I’m sure young boys all over South London wake up to wet sheets thinking of that exact scenario. Predicción – 12th
Nan Pam: Oh dear! It is such a wonderful honour to not only reveal what Crystal Palace will be wearing this season, but to make a prediction about how my little monkeys are going to perform. Just call me Ellen, because I get to watch my boys play at 101 years young! *Giggles*
Well. We have a new manager, and he is a young, dark man by the name of Patrick Viera. He will do just great because he looks like he can speak the language of my boys. I believe it’s Mandingan? Viera will definitely welcome newcomers Michael Olise and Marc Guehi, and if we’re lucky, maybe even Reiss Nelson. In a lovely surprise, we also added Conor Gallagher and Joachim Anderson to the club. I assume they were signed for their grit and intelligence. Either way, this must be the first year racial integration must have occurred! *giggles*
Palace is undergoing a ton of change and have made a lot of progressive moves. I love it! I also suspect they’ll be a jekyl/hyde team all year. With that said, like Agamemnom facing down Warren, I think Palace is just good enough to kill off relegation.
Prediction: 16th.
Horatio: Love their kits, (although if that vaguely racist Nam Pam up there is right about those being the 2021 kits, well, meh is all I got. Looks like the US Olympic team kits, and those were hideous. I also like Zaha, and they picked up some younger guy last year whose name completely escapes me and that I’m not going to look up, but he looked good. I think Crystal Palace survives the loss of Uncle Woy and finishes, eh, let’s say 14th and hope I didn’t already put someone in 14th.
Everton
King Hippo – Godfuckingdamnit, don’t even get me started. My beloved Toffees keep doubling down on 14, figuring they’ll suck out (instead of suck out loud) eventually. Bad process, and by all rights we’d go down in a just world. Predicion – 13th.
litre_cola – I have nothing to add, Hippo should be happy he has had these glory years in the top ten and some trips to Europs. Some people will just never be happy. Did some guy get nailed for Matt Gaetzing? Oh, hey, there is Andros Townsend, enjoy the suck. Prediction – 9th
Balls – I compare Hippo’s love of Everton to Redshirt’s love of the Cincinnati Bengals. It’s like they both made a really bad decision one day and they can’t bring themselves to get out of that vicious cycle of disappointment and sadness. It’s almost like an addiction. Hey, wait a second…. Predicción – 10th
Wakezilla: I don’t even know how many years in a row where I have picked Disappointing Everton to finish in a top 4-6 spot, only for them to disappoint. This year however, I’m getting Mourinho to Tottenham vibes with Benitez. It’s been an ugly transfer window so far and I don’t think it’s going to get better.
Prediction: 11th.
Horatio: The Toffees never satisfy and always disappoint, and in that they have a lot in common with me, according to numerous girls who live in the Niagara Falls area who you wouldn’t know. I’ll put them in 11th place, simply because I put Arsenal in 10th.
Leeds
King Hippo – These guys are just so much fun, I am desperate to put them into Shempions play. But, they don’t rotate the XI enough, and eventually health roulette will catch up to you. Put ’em in the Lesser CBI. Predicion – 7th.
litre_cola – As earlier mentioned by our Hippo this team is fun to watch and Bielsa is a hell of a manager. Read this article about him now. That being said he does not rotate his squad whatsoever and this kills legs fast. They brought in 3 players thus far including Firpo from Barca, Harrison from man City and Master Lewis Bate from Chelski. Those are pretty big clubs and these aren’t loans so they could just be that these guys didn’t progress the way that their parent clubs wanted them too. They still have a lot of momentum from last year so I see them staying on the top half of the table. Prediction – 7th
Balls – Ok, is this Leeds United or some other Leeds team? I thought there were two. /checks Google. Ok, it is Leeds United. Apparently, they are also nicknamed The Whites. I remember Litre’s Fulham also call themselves The Whites. Um, do I need to point something out here? Alls I’m saying is that there are no teams in England nicknamed The Blacks… Predicción – 6th
Wakezilla: Fuck Leeds and Fuck Biesla. Oh, he plays a fast style of lessy footy? Yeah? Well that faster style of footy got Leeds annihilated when Manchester United beat them 6-2.
Watch this (from the 1:10 mark). Remember, these comments were said immediately after Manchester United beat the piss out of Leeds United, by a score of 6-2:
I’ll tell you what, I’ll let my boring team score 6 goals and pick up 3 points, and your team can be the “high flying team” and score 2 goals and lose. Great coaching indeed!
Horatio: Frankly I liked Leeds last season, because they didn’t give fuckall about defense and were just as happy to lose 6-2, (as Wake might have mentioned) as they were to win 5-4. They’re just like kids out there! Big, stupid kids with a style of play that’s entertaining but in no way going to lead to long-term success at this level. Gonna jump on the DFO bandwagon and put them in the 7th. Enjoy the Europa, Leeds, whatever the hell that is.
Leicester
King Hippo – I hate Brendan Rodgers, but am tired of predicting his/Foxy Footy’s demise. Screw it, at least this finish would make the Kopites mad. Still, I eagerly await Jamie Vardy’s Todd Marinovich phase. Predicion – 3rd.
litre_cola – I for one am surprised that after their championship that the whole band hasn’t left as normal occurrence with “smaller” clubs. Schmeichel, Maddison and Vardy must just love it there as there is always rumblings of transfers but those lads stayed put. In looking at their roster there must be some magic elixir Brendan Rodgers is feeding them because they are not a deep club but in the past few years always seem to be in the fight for a Champions League spot. I do not think they will make it this year. Prediction- 5th
Balls – Leicester City, if you remember, is the last club outside of the Top Six to win the Premier League. Since then, they have managed to stay in the top ten of the league consistently, which is a really good thing. They may even one day make it a Top Seven if the other Six will let them into their club and don’t fuck off with another version of the Super League. Predicción – 4th
Wakezilla: The Foxes are a good, but aging team that keeps having their key players get injured at the worst possible time. In fact, as I type this, Fofana looks like he’s dead, so, scratch him out of the opening lineup.
On paper, especially with the added depth the Foxes signed in Daka, Bertrand and Soumare, the Foxes have enough talent to make the top 4. Unfortunately, I don’t trust their star players staying healthy, as has been the problem for at least the past 3 years. Factor in that Vardy is another year older, and I think the Foxes are due for a regression.
Horatio: Leicester City won the Premier the first year I started “following” Arsenal, and I think Arsenal was 2nd. So I should hate them, but I don’t. They’re the Little Engine That Could, and what kind of a psychopath hates that train? They are, however, old. At least I think they are, because the only guy I know from that team is Jamie Vardy, and he seems to have been around forever. Based on my theory, based on all to real and personal experience, that one does not get better at Sprots! as they age, I will assume that Vardy, and by extention Leicester, take a step back this season. 6th place.
Please put your predictions 1 – 20 at the bottom, I know Balls will keep record of it to shame us at the end of the season. Or do it next week when we do the next 10 teams.

The amount of death threats one gets for calling Grealish Jack the Drunk and saying City is going to crash out of Champions League like Jack crashes into parked cars is incredible.
Guess who just dropped 5.. cough cough,,, Thousand dollars on a new mattress and 2 pillows?
Jesus!
No, I think Jesus gets his mattresses for free

It’s a techno- gel and it’s without a doubt the most insanely comfortable thing I’ve ever seen. I processed it, tried a bunch of other mattresses but no. This motherfucker said “Buy me” and I listened.
Getting delivered tomorrow.
The police are going to find yeah right on his new bed a year from looking like the sloth victim from Se7en because he refused to get out.
Seems fair. I’ve dropped a thousand dollars for one night with 2 pillows.
Enjoy! Are you gonna drop some more cash on quality linens? Seems like a bed like that deserves the best
I’ve already got some crazy linens. Like 1200 thread count shit. I was talking to my employees about buying a bed last week and remembered that when you were younger you could sleep on a cardboard box for 15 years. My last mattress only lasted about 7 and my body told me to upgrade. It was acting up my hips and shoulders and basically fucking with my quality of life.
If this gets me back to balanced and rested it’s worth every damn penny.
I paid 1800 for my last set, and I felt like a baller!
Do they really call City’s New Cunt “Jack the Lad??”
“Jack the Drunk” was too obvious
“Lad” can have negative connotations, so maybe that works

I’m just glad that my beloved Fulham survived last ye–ah, shit. Oh, well. I’ll find a way to stream their 4,000 Championship games and look forward to their promotion.
Side note: if you’re ever in England and can swing it, I highly recommend going to a match. Pick a ground and enjoy the atmosphere, sure, but Craven Cottage has a nice mix of old-school charm and new-school futbol.
Craven Cottage is the best. Great neighboUrhood to party in, no violence, pretty setting, only one bad thing…KHAAAAAAAANNNNNNN!
You aren’t really a Fulham supporter are you?
I am!
After the ’06 World Cup, I decided to pick a Premier League team. I wanted a London team and not one of the big boys. Fulham struck me as a fun underdog and I confess their penchant for American players at the time was a little attractive to me. This was during the al-Fayed days and prior to the Michael Jackson statue. It’s been an up-and-down ride; the Great Escape, Dempsey’s goal against Juventus, the Euro final, the relegation/promotion/relegation rollercoaster, the current dipshit owner and his failson GM…
Anyway, in 2018 I finally got the chance to go to London and made a pilgrimage to the Cottage. It was an awesome experience. Our seats were so close! I still love my Cottagers, plucky little never-winners though they may be.
That is really cool!
“…in fear that we create a bogey man out of something that hopefully I’m showing isn’t anything to be afraid of for 99.9 percent of us.”

Not this guy, though.

Damnit, I just cannot get this thing to embed the way I want it to. Last try.

Anyhow, the original twitter headline pretty much covers it.
Ded Fuq is Ded
Quite the evergreen headline.
All the moe-rons dying is really the only good part of every day.
I’m not saying the proof is in the pudding but I’m seeing a lot more Fauci-is-wrong types turning up dead than actual Anthony Faucis.
In a world where adults have a higher than 8th grade education, this would be indicative of the future performance of doing the opposite of infectious disease experts. But instead dumb white trash will just keep being dumb white trash and, frankly, these deaths are a good thing
Didn’t even know they made a poor man’s version of White Goodman.
Things Hippo wonders – if the Board of Directors at Brest is small, and if so, is it EVAR referred to as the itty-bitty titty committee?
I too am watching that game. Not a lot of Brest posession.
at around 37′, I bet $40 on there being a first half goal (+250) and $10 on Brest win the half (+1200). cha-ching
Another question-Are they chasing after the A Cup Championship?
DonT will like this:

Did you recommend Station Eleven? Is great and I’m mowing through it.
Absolutely, is the “gateway drug” to Ms. St. John-Mandel’s writings. So good.
There is one passage (in the first 40 pages) with all the “no more” sentences describing the world lost, that I believe to be the finest writing I have ever read.
It’s a real accomplishment to write in three different periods and keep it clean enough that I can follow.
Hippo haz a happy Dundee United beat Stevie G and Rangers.
If Grand Papa Cola was still about he would be overjoyed.
I also have $30 on Troyes (HT) home to PSG today. I assume they will feed off the crowd, and have fewer players recovering from the Euros and/or Olympiad.
Plus, only paid 6-to-1, which counter-intuitively made me think oh snap, there really is a chance!
That’s interesting, given the YES Network/Gooners connection at the time (which is what roped Horatio in).
I picked Everton because they reminded me of NC State. Which, if I had any fucking sense, would have sent me running away in terror.
I would’ve expected that to make you a Wolves fan!
That’s the extent of my Premier League jokes.
Was super tilted to miss my normal time bet on Brasil, but at least I plunked $60 down for them to win the ET period (3-to-1).
I think the Canadian soccer team’s goalie (Stephanie Labbe) should be the flag bearer at the closing ceremonies because she basically won three games by herself. This will not happen.
For some reason, Everton scheduled a friendly today…at Old Trafford. It’s going about like you’d expect.
I don’t believe you guys wrote all that up this morning.
Drunk last night, took a fall. Big bruise on shoulder, limited right arm mobility, pretty good pain. Perfect excuse to Edible Up! and relax, maybe snooze a bit.
Oh this took a week and change of input and edits. Episode 2 next Saturday! You know Wakezilla will have pages upon pages of Man U preview!
Your duty as a citizen of Canadia is to keep Wakey in the Clubhouse. Wakey Reacts Reasonably is the best part of every Lesser weekend.
