BrettFavresColonoscopy - August 15, 2025August 10, 2025

Well, Sharky still isn't back, so you're stuck with me another week. Boo fucking hoo. Let's keep our travel theme going and head over to France, where I've somehow found myself twice this summer. It was for work, mother! (Or one of the times was at least). At the risk of turning

When we last left off in recapping my sporting adventures in Oz, I had followed up BOTGs for GWS vs Sydney and RSA vs NED with another Women's World Cup match and my first ever trip to the MCG. Which leaves (checks notes) another WWC match and one last AFL

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

blaxabbath - March 3, 2020March 3, 2020

Hello all. Sebastian Blax here. As many of you may have heard, since my previous Boots on the Ground published piece, "I Just Don't Have a Parole Officer -- A BOTG Experience", I have uprooted from the deserts of Phoenix and moved to the deserts of Las Vegas. Unrelated, you

INT. RECORDING STUDIO - DAY A disappointed-looking PRODUCER is seated in front of the console, talking on the phone. PRODUCER: ...and of course I'm not a doctor Mr. Brown but I really don't think more cryotherapy is the answer.
