Gooners/Gay Paris Before The Void Open Thread

King Hippo

/

, ,

Handsome Mikel got his teeth into one hunk of metal this May, and today he gets a chance at another (12:00, CBS).  Should he and his charges succeed, that would make the Prem 3-for-3 in major European finals.  I don’t suspect they WILL, though.  PSG is a fookin’ wagon, y’all.

What will we make of the rest of the summer?  Well, scotchy has kindly agreed (date pending) to write his own, Northern Ontario salute to Pep Guardiola.  Beyond that?  Lots and lots of Uncle Teddy’s gruff visage.  I have considered a plausible series of looking at clubs on the brink of pulling a 2026-27 Spurs/WHam! (UK), but that seems like a decent amount of work.  Plus nobody will really care anyway.

Perhaps I will have thoughts about fantasy FITBAW as Hippo “prepares” for his annual auction.  But maybe we will just all stare into the void together.

There will be neither punch nor pie.

Just got back from checking out a couple wedding/reception venues. This might be my life the for next year or whatever.

Do NAWT have kids.

Or if you do, try to become estranged from them before they reach their 20s.

Have you made the kids (yours and the groom, separately) a nice cash offer? I was DYING to get one of those, a friend in law school had one for $20K and turned it down flat

Ain’t no way, I’m a cheap bastard. But I’m trying to sell the destination wedding idea. Bigly trying.

Good advice unregardless of weddings.

I’ve been telling The Heiress since she was a teen: don’t get married.
Alternatively, elope and send me a postcard from the honeymoon. I’m mushy like dat.

This is the way

We did the whole 125 person wedding thing, and dealing with all that…stuff? Just not worth it. Do something small and spend the money on the honeymoon and house down payment. Oh well, live and learn.

yeah right

“Cool photos, Dad! Looks like you’re in Portugal again. What are you doing on this trip?”

Prediction: The Finns are going to go into a defensive shell and they’ll win. There’s no comeback for Canada.

So Arsenal had a great year. What do they qualify for next year as opposed to, say 4th place Aston Villa because this is all mud to me.

And because so many non-Redshite teams performed well in European competition, 5th place…Redshite filth ALSO get a Shempions invite.

THEY ARE THE HORSESHOE-UP-ARSE LUCKIEST BUNCH OF ROTTEN PRICKS ON EARTH

Okay, I don’t feel nothing. I am a little disappointed. But I’ll get over it quickly.

This should help.

/watching a replay of Canada/Finns

The latter are up 3-2. If this team had a sniper on the wing on the 1st line, oh boy. They’d be unbeatable.

/fuck. They’re up 4-2 now. They’re a beast as is

Good season, got the Premier, PSG was the better team most of the night. Arsenal played about as good a game as they could and took it to PKs.

Eze’s shot though, woof.

England is happy in a way, they get to blame a black player for their country’s failure again.

I don’t think they can count that high though.

Eze of all people. Games, blouses.

That’s what you get for dicking around with the ball like that.

Horatio Cornblower

Raya’s gone right three times while the ball’s gone left.

I think PSG may be on to something.

1
Mr. Ayo

Fourth time’s the charm

2
King Hippo

If PSG lift the trophy, Arsenal will have made it to the final, not losing a match the entire competition. But not Shempions.
