The One Where Hippo Starts Watching Everton Again

Admittedly, the rumours around the managerial search...have not been encouraging.  There remains chaos and incompetence in the boardroom.  But fuck it, Useless Fuckwit Benitez is gone, and I can watch my beloved Toffees again.

Mini-Hippo Wild Card Thoughts

Good morning, fellow dick joke enthusiasts.  You may have noticed that Super-Duper-Mega Wild Card Bitches! weekend began yesterday.  Two FITBAW games on the docket - well, one game and one brutal skullfucking.
