Despite continued outbreaks, postponements, and cancellations (both Everton and my Shitty Wolves will be unexpectedly off this weekend) - the Premiership marches on. Sort of. But losing the fixtures I care about this weekend, and seeing the FITBAW post-season schedule get all used up...well, thunderfuck reality. It's back to MOAR

Good day, imaginary peoples. It's REALLY here. The day we gets a TRIPLEHEADER of Wild Card, Bitches! action. And it happens again tomorrow! We just needed a world-wide pandemic to make it real.

Just. Fuck's sake. Start the new year with a home loss to David Moyes. Fuck everything. Anyway, the show must go on. Bielsa against Mourinho will make for quite the contrast in style/philosophy (7:30, NBCSN). Not setting my alarm, but as an old...I know I will be awake for it. Go

Here comes the deliriously jam-packed Premiership Festivus period, with the added entropy that is #NuAIDS. A good opportunity to see some of your favoUrite side's depth options! You're not setting your alarm to watch the German Elton John kick the tar shit (and whine incessantly) out of Uncle Woy's ti-wud Pawace.

So...not sure that the JV world is looking so hot right now. Almost as many fixtures being 86'd this week as are being played. And that doesn't even begin to touch on the hardwood shitshow. Good thing all Commentists in Good Standing have converted to the sweet siren song of Lesser

Picture it. Seventy fifth minute, your star midfielder pulls up lame due to a hamstring. The surly manager looks down the bench, eyes the road weary player-coach, and contemplates his options. "Well blimey, we ain't got no one else. Litre, you're doing the Sabado thread" "Skip, I have been drinking and
