I keep forgetting to draft these until I am so deep into #FridayBrain that I can't really formulate coherent thoughts. That's ok, footy has been filled with entropy of late anyway. No need to try to make any sense of it. No 7:30 fixture AGAIN. This is starting to get on
Fuck You America
February’s Last Saturday – Open Thread
There is footy, though no early-birder. But a reasonably full day, given that the schedule gets fuckety for the Cursed Caribou Cup tomorrow (hopefully Chelski will be ROCKIN' for a certain dog supporter). Four in the 10:00 window, with USA showing Villa against the Robins Hood. One never knows what to
Title Battle Begins In Earnest – Lesser Footy Saturday
You get the contenders 1-2-3 (in increasing order of likelihood to succeed, in Hippo's view), all on USA/NBC. The filthy Redshite play Praise Beesus early (7:30, USA), with the unsettled Ivan Toney hopefully doing humanity in the good. He's in the shop window for the summer, no doubt. Surely he'd prefer the
A Thursday Afternoon Carpenter Existential Experience!
Your “How the Hell Is it Mardi Gras?” Open Night Chatty-Chat
Seriously. T-Swift can'y even stand yet after post-Owl celebrations her and Travis have been doing, and it's friggin' Lent tomorrow. On Valentine's Day! Anyway, it's Mardi Gras tonight, so NAWLINS had to have been weirder than normal this past weekend/week. I'm grew up Catholic, and now generously describe myself as "lapsed" at
Half-Arsed Saturday Thread
Premiership and Afrika – Togetherness Saturday
A Bored Murrika Turns Its Eyes to AFRIKA Open Thread!
Ugh, another dead/sunless Saturday. No NFL, no Prem. Just more stupid FA Cup ties, including the one I hope Everton loses to Martin Prince's Lutes (10:00, ESPN+) - because it's all hands on deck to keep hold of 17th position in the table. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0B61XAN2Ujw Fortunately, the wonky coverage of BeIn has us covered,
Void Remains, Week Two
Count down the hours until Scotchy heralds in our last full NFL weekend. Oy. Another weird Prem weekend, two fixtures per day. Arsenal will likely disembowel Palace for the early risers (7:30, USA), followed by a broadcast network-televised slap fight between Robins Hood and Praise Beesus (12:30, NBC). Only one watchable game
JV NFL Finale Open Thread
One last hurrah for Hippo's favoUrite banner pic! Washington (+5.5) v. Michigan (7:30, ESPN) Oh man, this line just keeps creeping up. I have a really bad feeling, and it's worse than the usual (gas). Polar opposites clash tonight. There's the smug superiority (undeserved) epitomized by the Michigan Man - of whom Lesser
