Learning to (Re-)Love the Prem

Look, FFS.  It's what we GOT, so we might as well make the best of it. King's Afrikan Water Pistols regained their mojo, at least for the North London Derby.  Handsome Mikel's men get another, even bitterer rival this week (Chelski on Sunday, 11:30 (Peacock)), so maybe their blood stays up.  Unless

A Title Race After All?

Because apparently I like being wrong/stupid, I have insisted for months on end thta the King's Afrikan Water Pistols would run away and hide with the Prem this season.  Blink a few times, look up, and whaddya know?  Both City of Men AND Villa are within 4 points. Last week's home loss to

Welcome to the hellish realization that the 2-week-long vacation is nearly over.  As is the NFL regular season.  FUCK.  ME.  SIDEWAYS. Naut du Scotch will be by shortly to take you into the Black Panther Party, plus late night FITBAW action. But we are done with JV exhibitions, and also pass the

Entropy Season in the Prem?

It sure seems like we are headed that way.  Villa started out like ass, now they are hot on Handsome Mikel's tail (PHRASING!).  The filthy Redshite pulled off almost the exact inverse of Villa, to Hippo's Bitter Blue glee.  Nobody knows exactly how the Euro-slots after King's Afrikan Water Pistols and

Yes, I am already maudlin in advance.  But let's keep a stiff upper lip and whatnot, There is no early bird special, and I'd recommend Black Cats/Cherries (Peacock) over Bees/White Lives Matter (USA) at 10.  You then gets a reasonable afternoon USA doubleheader, with Toffees/Geordie Arabia (12:30), followed by Mighty Whitey

All varietals of footed ball, represent. We kick off bright and early, with our intrepid Robins Hood hosting Chelski (7:30, USA).  Is the big fat Greek about ready to fire his SECOND permanent manager of the season?  Remember, they qualified for Zooropa last season, so this turmoil is of their own,

The quality of the fixtures, or the writings?  YES. Start your morning, if you dare, with Leeds welcoming Spurs (7:30, USA).  As usual, I really have no idea what Spurs are, for good or ill.  Leeds are kind of shit, but might at least survive the drop.  So...consider this a "background

New Derby Fuel – Kashyap Patel is a Redsh*te

I learn so many interesting things from my trans-Atlantic imaginary frenemies (ie, NSNO - the Everton message board), but this is the tidbit that might have finally broken me beyond reason.  Kashyap Patel is apparently a Redshite supporter.  NOW, do you believe me about this...monstrosity masquerading as a football club being
