All good things must come to end. So too, mediocrities like the 2024-25 season. But first and foremost, congrats to 2pack and Marika, as Napoli won at home yesterday, pipping Inter to the Serie A title by a single, solitary point. Enjoy those celebrations, Naples and environs. Today, we learn the identity

Very Meaningless Footy Saturday Thread

King Hippo - April 12, 2025April 11, 2025

Look. My cracker ass ain't gonna try to bullshit you. That cracker of a second half King's Afrikan Water Pistols unloaded on the Real Cuntfaces? That's as good as it's going to get. Also probably the last real bit of drama and entertainment we are getting until September. So sit back and enjoy

Updates From The VOID – Saturday Open Thread

King Hippo - March 8, 2025March 7, 2025

Everything in this Timeline remains very stupid, and even MOAR terrible. There, you are all caught up on the week's current events. Loads of footy to maybe watch, starting with "Classic Six Pointer" (for Shempions qualification) between City of Men and the Robins Hood (7:30, USA). Various tepid offerings continue straight through

HAWT David Moyes Morning Action

Is everyone up early? I sure hope so, because David Moyes - and the Old Lady (ie, Goodison Park) get one last shot against Men Untied (7:30, USA). Moyes' United tenure ended at this very same location, to the tune of Evertonians serenading his demise. Yes, he lost BOTH matches against

November 2024 Spawned – Weak Footy Slate

THREE SHORT DAYS before the possible self-implosion of American society as we know/love/tolerate it. And we can't even get a full, distracting slate of fixtures. OK, Barcodes and Gooners to start (8:30, USA) ain't too bad. But then USA shows...Sham Town and Everton?? (11:00). Even HIPPO won't enjoy watching that car

Do you like footed ball? Boy howdy, then does I ever gots GOOD NEWS for you! (I mean, other than the lack of our beloved Early Bird Special this week. That kinda blows goats.) USA choo-choo-chooses Villa/Cherries for the 10:00 broadcast. Are the Villans becoming a media darling? Oy yes, they are.

Yes, we get the Prem back this weekend, to go along with a fairly killer set of JV ball. It's (momentarily) good to be alive. That means Spurs and Hammers over morning coffee (7:30, USA). In my mind, jury's still out on both - they could be Zooropa contenders, they could

A Week After the Storm – Footy Abundance Thread

Last week, we had the titanic clashes. King's Afrikan Water Pistols trying to hang onto an incredible win at City of Men - who were on what seemed to be the world's longest, dry power play. Somehow, they found the equalizer at the very death, but Arsenal still boast the momentum.

Just Another Sabado de los Footy

I have no overarching theme this week. Keep those brains turned off and treat yo'self. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gSjM5B3QNlw Fronk's Hammers welcome Our Brand Is Crisis Chelski (7:30, USA), quite plausibly worth your asshole mind waking you up. I mean, mine's will regardless, why not look on the plus side. I refuse to make any mention of the

Welcome back, dearest Premiership. Wake and bake, if you so choose, with Men Untied away to Sham Town (7:30, USA). Probably not much in this one. Mighty Whitey take on Fronk's Hammers next in the 10:00 window, sadly it is Peacocked. TV option is Leicester/Palace, which makes no sense and
