The Day Before The Owl 2022 Open Thread

So much excite!  Two squadrons that I don’t have even a tiny bit of hatred for, playing for the Owl title.  What are we to do in the lead-up?  WATCH LESSER FOOTY, of course!

Because of the 2022 Sticky Icky Stoner Games Winter Olympics, or just out of rampant greed – all but the spotlight dance are behind Peacock’s pay wall.  NBC really can be the worst sometimes, though I certainly appreciate the heroic work done by Rebecc-ur and the Robbies.  Even Tim Howard, most days.

Anyway, Men Untied welcome Saints (7:30) to start things off.  Disappointed Dad OGS was apparently not THE problem in Manchester, after all.  Maybe not the solution, either – but Hippo will always wonder “what if” they don’t throw a spanner into the works with the vanity Ronaldo signing.  But what’s done is done, and they pick up the pieces,  Yet again.  I’d like Hassenhutl if he was somewhere other than the South Coast.

Back-to-panicky Everton host Madman Bielsa’s Leeds, in the best of the 10:00 fixtures.  OK, I might be a bit biased there.  Fortress Goodison needs to be a thing again, or it’s going to be an itchy, itchy Toffee Spring.  The ants are EVERYWHERE, man!!

Brentford/Palace and Watford/Brighton are the other options, so maybe I am not so biased after all.  The fuck’s up with all these morning insects??  Every time I have to kill a bug in my house (or spray budding wasps nests under my deck), I want to burn my house down to the ground.   Just ewwwwwww.  PRO TIP – don’t have children, they are no more hygeinic than rats.

Spotlight Dance (12:30, NBC) is…seriously??  Norwich hosting Man City??  Sure, the Blue Mancs play purty football, but Christ on a bike, this should be done and dusted within 15 minutes.  What am I to do with the rest of my day, watch REGULAR SEASON hoopsball?  I think NOT!!

Oh hello there, Footy Manager!!

I will think of other things for tonight, pinky swear.

Litre’s Midseason EFL Championship update.

Bahahahahahahahahaha every two years baby!

Oh boy do I enjoy myself every two years. You may remember me from such hits as “Fuck Tony Khan with a rusty screwdriver”, “Stick to wrasslin you rich cunt.”, and my pick em team name of Tony Khan has herpes.

Well reader, he has done a great job this season and I give him kudos. The most important players stayed because they love living in West London and Mighty Whitey is paying them Premiership wages. That being said, he didn’t buy a bunch of guys using his drunken analytics, he resigned important players and he pulled one over on Liverpool last week. In the offseason he said goodbye to the swarthy Scott Parker and his brand of possession Parkerball and signed manager Marco Silva whose game plan fits the squad that resides at the Cottage. Mitrovic who was shunned by SP last season has 30 goals thus far. Only two other players have scored 30 in a season in the history of the C’ship and Mitro has 17 games left in the season to keep banging them in. Have a look at that goal differential, delicious. It’s been a glorious season for me as I hate the seasons in the Premiership because it is a constant flogging and winning is fun.

Daddy Khan has paid for a new Riverside stand at the Cottage which opens next season so this is 100% the reason they kept everyone. Shad does NOT want to open it while still in the C’ship.

Fine by me. I turn fifty in a few years and my plan is to stay at the hotel and watch a game.

In looking at the table I hope Bournemouth drops down and the Robin Hoods and the Rovers come up. Fuck Scott Parker, Fuck QPR, Stamford Bridge is in Fulham and good day.
