King Hippo - September 3, 2022September 3, 2022

Boy howdy, is the futbol schedule ever crowded. But the show must go on, so those Qatari slave workers won't have died in vain! The Athletic had a pretty comprehensive preview, a snippet of which I have posted below: Which group gets you most excited? Raphael Honigstein: A little leftfield, I know,

I've told y'all before, but I've never been more certain - Very Disappointing Everton will be Very Championship Everton in 2023-24. Neal Goddamned Maupay. Jesus wept, and then took Mr. RazoUr Blade down the tracks. No, we don't go for attention around these parts. Anyway, this is a real banger of a tune: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqN9flclRio In

Prem Heating Up – Saturday Open Thread

King Hippo - August 20, 2022August 19, 2022

Even beyond the deliciousness of Men Untied and the Redshite entering their Up Own Rectums Derby having secured a total of 2 points from a possible 12 - the League is full of storylines, even by its own standards. I get the sense we will have a very entertaining season of

Man, I have been enjoying the fuck out of this new Gorillaz jam on SiriusXMU (and not just because of the hilarious title): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S03T47hapAc Back to bidness, NBC's "hostage taking FOAR Peacock" thankfully only lasted one week. We get a normal teevee slate, led off by Very Disappointing Everton away to assdick Slippy

Wumbo Wednesday with Weaselo: Pitch Meetings

Senor Weaselo - August 10, 2022August 10, 2022

Evening, lizard people. For this week's Wumbo Wednesday we'll do things a little differently. Namely because I have robot fights to watch even if we all knew what happened if we paid attention. As this past Saturday morning Hippo thoughts alluded to, the Premier League is back. Now, for a variety

Footy Observations – Saturday Night Thread

King Hippo - August 6, 2022August 6, 2022

It's great to have the Footy back, is it not? Over-analyzing Matchday One is a fool's game, but hey, I am guilty as charged. The King's Afrikan Water Pistols may just "have the balance right" now. They looked dangerous, and comfortable on the ball. And - very new for them

Write the Saturday morning DFO column. Forget the loose idea one had in mind for the Saturday morning DFO column. Sweat like a Black man in an Alabama courtroom. Wonder if #3 was racialist? No, it is the children who are wrong. Should I attend the Everton match tomorrow?

Hey, y'all. It's still July. We may be only ONE WEEK from a Baltimore meetup (but we are all shitty planners, so details still TBD). In the meantime, I need sommet to write about. Hey, why not Argentina's own Temperley? Technically, they are Club Atletico Temperley - or C.A.T. You can

No doubt you remember the original. #BFIB regular, excellent defender in LF (before such was really appreciated, sadly), well-rounded offensive profile. A few Hollywood cameos, even! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JsLRtId0WPk Well, he's been re-born as a Salford-native midfielder-turned-manager, thanks to Football Manager 2020. He would have stayed at Everton forever, but the Board pissed him
