Once MOAR Into the Final Stretch

Stupid international/Mickey Mouse Cup break is finally over.  Most clubs have 7 fixtures remaining, with 5th through 13th an absolute madhouse jumble.

And of course, all neutrals hoping for Spurs to be Spursy, and go down with their new, madman manager (on a 5-year uber-rich contract, no less).  Friday night footy DID see WHam! (UK) absolutely push no-longer-hot-af-Wolves’ shit in, 4-nil to the home side.  Technically, Spurs are in the relegation places right NOW, though they won’t be if they win their game in hand Sunday (a Draw would leave them in 18th as well).

Feet first into the fire, with the King’s Afrikan Water Pistols hosting yeah right’s ever-dangerous Cherries (7:30, USA).  Could be a tone setter for the weekend, especially if Arsenal drop points here.  We know that’s always a possibility, in this season of chaos.

Just two in the 10:00 window, not much to see with respect to Trashbirds away to White Lives Matter (Peacock), so all eyes will be on the Beehive – with Brentford hosting Suddenly Frisky Everton (USA).  I am nervous, and fear I will be screaming/sighing Everton, that when the 4th Beesus goal fills the onion bag.  Meh, such is life.

Mighty Whitey gets the flailing Redshite in the Spotlight window (12:30, NBC), but Hippo ain’t watching that monkeyshines.

Sunday is dominated by Spurs away to Sunderland early (9:00, USA), followed by City of Men away to Chelski at 11:30 (also USA).  Almost certainly worth your time and attention.

GIMME BACK MY SON!

Pretty impressive of Rory to blow a six-shot lead in just one day.

WCS

Before Sunday, anyway.

16:20 EST and we’re back. For now.

Who insists on looking at Lowration cross-eyed? You know what happens when you do that!

“16:20? That’s the new 4:20! You have any idea when my Virgo-centric, gluten-full pre-made Patriot Meals are arriving at my bunker? I have a zoom thingy with my incense dealer at Rainbow Thirty. Don’t tell anyone but that’s the name of my sidepiece.” [makes exaggerated wink]

The Canadian women are destroying the Zambeezians(?) 2-0.

Hey Shane nice shot

Horatio Cornblower

Accidentally stumbled on some hot UFL action and one of the QBs is named Tagovaliola (or whatever) and my first thought was “aw shit, he’s wandered onto the wrong team”

WCS

In his mind, he’s on a beach in Tahiti, so just let him be. Sun and fun is good for back injuries.

Horatio Cornblower

Had to run out and get some errands done, one which was going to the dump.

Sorry, “transfer station”

I back into the area to get rid of cardboard, because like all good libtards I recycle, and I see the car next to me has an Arsenal sticker in the rear window. The driver gets out and I say, in a friendly ‘we’re all on fire together’ kind of way “Glad to see I’m not the only one whose weekend Arsenal is ruining” and the guy looks at me with the saddest expression and says, (with a European accent, to boot): “I just…I…I don’t want to talk about it.” and then just puts his head down and starts tossing cardboard into the bin without another fucking word.

It was awesome.

Several years ago the oldest son and I went to the landfill and were unloading a crapton of stuff and a guy came over and said, ‘that stuff goes there, that other stuff goes here, etc.”

I complied. I also started singing, “Bad Boys, Bad Boys, whatcha gonna do? Whatcha gonna do when the garbage cops come for you?”

2Pack

Yeah, pretty much… and don’t we all…

At least DC Defenders are waxing the Houston Gamblers, 31-0, in the third quarter.

WCS

Saturdays are my Wednesdays. I do have Monday off, so THREE-DAY WEEKEND FOR THE YINZER.

This is all training for the inevitable clustershit that will the Draft.

We’re gonna let Iran restart their nuclear program in exchange for letting us build a Trump hotel in Tehran

scotchnaut

I don’t mind Iran having a nuclear program-that’ll make three countries run by religious zealots having the ability to turn other countries into glass.

I’m definitely getting a nuke or two for our garage.

Fuck you Carol, let’s see those leaves get from your yard to my yard this year.

(Just kidding, Carol’s great; I actually try to rake her leaves when she’s not looking because she’s getting up there)

Dunstan

Please tell me that “raking her leaves” isn’t some kind of euphemism

Horatio Cornblower

I cannot emphasize enough how literal I am being.

Reminder: Never play Risk with Hippo, unless you own Morocco and a small handgun.

Anyone else like Fulham this afternoon? I think Liverpool is in damage-control mode and extremely vulnerable at home today. Man City just humiliated them 0-4 in the FA Cup quarters, they’re down 0-2 after the away leg of their Champions League tie v PSG, and the league title is completely out of reach. Fans are calling for Slot’s job, so he can’t bow out of the Champions League meekly on home turf Tuesday night. A quick look at the subs bench today confirms he’s going to try to get it done today at roughly 70% of the club’s potential. Probably counting on the crowd and refs to carry them the rest of the way. Fulham can fully join the dogfight for the last European spots with a win here. If they play patiently, I think Liverpool’s defense will make some key mistakes. Virgil VD has not recovered from his ACL injury, in my uneducated opinion, and I don’t think it’s a knock on the guy either. It’s a devastating injury. But he’s clearly not the same player, and Konate has been covering for a lot of it. Prediction: Liverpool 1 – Fulham 2 / Man of the Match: Harry Wilson

Mr. Ayo

Oooh, so close, yet so far.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I have this weird fixation with making jokes about Islamabad being a city full of waterside parks and these talks really just being a cover for these creepy weirdos to run around groping little girls.

Very accurate representation of most lifeguards at water parks.

Holy shit!
Moyes don’t crack.

Soon they will be scouting for size.

Too bad the team ain’t called the Lemons

I’m also a big fan of cashews.

Doktor Zymm

I had some honey-sesame cashews once that were dynamite!

yeah right

Trader Joe’s made a wasabi crusted cashew for awhile that would make me tell the pirates where the gold was buried.

WCS

Pistachios would like a word…

I am going to the pub, with the boy who will be dressed up in Liverpool gear. I will be in enemy territory and hope to Jesus Mighty Whitey doesn’t fall flat on their faces.

Cecil Rhodes

I cannot believe my eyes! The King’s African Water Pistols, who are surely the Lord’s favourite military squadron, could not even scavenge a point from the blueberry-flavoured Cherries on the south coast! I for one have come to think that our Spanish field marshal seems to more closely resemble a modern day Don Quixote rather than a modern day Hernán Cortés. If he cannot lead the forces to glory this campaign, it may be time for his unceremonious departure!

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Yeah man, that sucked.

Brick Meathook

I’m shopping bids for a chimney crown replacement and fireplace flue refining.

One of the companies is called “Ashmasters” and don’t tell me they don’t get the joke there. Unless they’re like a really religious family-owned company, in which case one of them definitely knows it.

Fronkenshteen

HAPPY HIPPO!!! Beto starting to happen?

yeah right

That’s just a fantastic road win. You guys might go on a European Tour next season!

yeah right

Next season?

I’m leaving Tuesday!

“Let’s all pick a Premier League team to root for in the off-season” said Hippo. “It’ll be fun; you’ll love it!” he said.

Asshole.

Horatio Cornblower

I hate fans who start yelling about firing the coach when they don’t win every game, but Arsenal being in contention for three titles late, then bowing out of the FA Cup because they can’t beat fucking Southampton, and giving away control of the premier because they can’t even draw against Bournemouth has me thinking it’s time for Arteta to take it somewhere else.

And let’s not point to a chance for redemption in the Champions League. They’re not good enough for that one.

blaxabbath

I hope Iran negotiates the new name for Israel as they give it to The Couch Fucker today.

Juala Lumpur

Doktor Zymm

Sending JD to talk to anyone is the ultimate sign of disrespect, NawT a good start to the negotiations

Fronkenshteen

Well, shit.

Fronkenshteen

There were SO MANY reasons for them to perform that way, and they did. Nuno has a little personal revenge angle with Forest AND Wolves. Wolves whooped us 0-3 in the reverse fixture. We had a really good performance in the 2nd half and extra time v Leeds in our FA Cup loss. The lineup was (for us) absolutely optimal. Tim Howard made a point in the post-game I instantly wanted yr opinion on: when teams like West Ham, Forest, & Leeds are in this position, they know how to just get down and SCRAP for it. Spurs, while very talented, might not have that toughness. He offered Leicester as an example of teams who “thought they were too good to go down”. What say ye?

Fronkenshteen

Is Arsenal cooked?

Not raptured yet. However, we are most certainly not amused!

For you socceroos, is there a local lower level club I should check out midweek while I’m in London? Don’t feel like dealing with the pros.

Wednesday, Wimbledon plays against Stockport County in South London. If you watched any Wrexham games, you’ll know the clubs.

That should be a good time.

Over here Sunday will be dominated by Napoli… in 2nd 7 points back with 7 to play…

Speaking of (I would enjoy being) dominated (by)…

With the picture… and shoulders… this time. Site is back to giving me picture posting hassles again I see…

Methinks Hippo may have a heart attack here.

But what a way to go!

Horatio Cornblower

It is unfair what she is asking that lingerie to do. It hasn’t got a chance.
