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

2022-23 Lesser Footy – Oh We Back, Y’all

Let's face it, Clubhouse footed ball enthusiasts. Most of our dreemz is ded already, but the beauty of Week One is we don't know FOR CERTAIN or how they'll go about dying. So, we giddy-up with NBC, USA, and Peacock Premium and WE FOOKIN' RIDE again. Friday Night Footy gave us a

It does not appear these are in precise alphabetical order, but I'mma just draft based on what popped up (PHRASING) on Google. Miscellany and team thoughts to follow: Bournemouth (2nd in C'ship 2021-22, yeah right's KREW) KH: I am fairly interested to see how these do, and/or whether Ruggedly Handsome Scott Parker

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?

Better Know a Random Squardon – Temperley (Saturday All Day Thread)

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

Another Lousy Idea For Lousy June and Lousy 2022

King Hippo - June 18, 2022June 17, 2022

Really, my brain is running out of nonsense. I ain't think that was EVAR possible. We need MOAR SPORTSBALL and we need it right soon. Previously, my pill-addled brain cavity brung forth the Shithole Countries World Cup. I still think that's a ratings winner. And fuck me sideways, would folk ever bet on

BOTG Opportunity? Frank Lampard’s Everton in the Charm CIty

King Hippo - June 11, 2022June 10, 2022

As you all know, I really hate leaving the house. But the thought of an international flight REALLY seems like a dealbreaker to this modern recluse. As such, 16 July in glorious Baltimore is likely my only chance to see Frank Lampard's Everton. Perhaps some of the Clubhouse Gooners would join

I should be grateful we only had two absolute hellfire hot days this week. It's The South, things will only get worse. But fuck me, I am already over it. My cervical spine is being a bigger asshole than usual. Thus, I just can't get comfortable. Reading, Footy Manager, even TV
