And then, as if to honoUr the late, great (in terms of hilarity) Herman Cain - there were NINE. Oh fuck, TEN. My brain is so beyond borken. Friday was the day everyone looked forward to, as For Realz Man City put Real Cuntfaces of Madrid to the sword. 2-1 away,

Looking at the Table – Sabado Lesser Thread

King Hippo - July 25, 2020July 24, 2020

There's really fuckall to do until Most Glorious el beisbol Cardinals start around 2p (banner pic in honoUr, also since it pisses so many off that maybe we can has extra clubhouse participation??). That's because all the Premiership fixtures are tomorrow morning. So sad. Everton's match is on CNBC, which

The Athletic recently published a long-form discussion of how any of the participants (ok, maybe not the ones who dug deep holes before the 2nd leg of a tie got played - ie, Chelski) could win the abbreviated, neutral-as-WICHITA Shempions format. It got me (and the Clubhouse's other Lesser enthusiasts) thinking

And huzzah FOAR that, what on earth would we do otherwise? We wake (and presumably bake) with Fronk's Hammers, toiling against the imploding/Hippo believes to be mathematically ded Trash Birds o' Norwich (7:30, NBCSN/Gold). Bet they still get a draw, because that's just how Moyes' West Ham rolls. Still, I got

Tis a strange schedule. You get one Premiership fixture each day, at bizarre times. Saturday has ONLY the early bird special, which features Euro-curious Wolves away to "just happy to be here" Villa (7:30, NBCSN). I feel like a lunatic setting me alarms for this. But I will. Saints at

Oh, have you not been playing Football Manager 2020 with the intensity and the involuntary spasming of a prime crickhead? PLEBIANS. I am as terrible at this as I am GAMBLOR. PLEASE SEND OPIATES. Anyway, the Central European paradise that is unquestionably Belarus still rules our sportsball desert world. You get a

Dudes, it's all Belarus' world now, we just livin' in it. All of the various second and third world-ish football associations might be late to the cancellation party - but even Brasil state torneos and Ukraine have gone dark now. The only thing remotely approaching first division footy? The Belarus Premier

There's much talk of drinkling and fooding in the early thread so I know that everyone is doing it right proper today. The forty-five minutes I spent on the elliptical (god, I hate that motherfucker) won't even begin to justify the calories that I'll be absorbing through the day but
