Stumbling Towards the Finish

I keep looking for stories...something, FFS.  But there's nothing.  Just Hull and Swans battling for the last life buoy.  And the play on the pitch has been reflecting such.  Some truly dire shite.  At least I have to pick up my kid from college first thing Saturday, and will only

Arise, Lesser Footy!

Welcome back for another weekend of...things.  The Darkest Timeline offers no guarantees in terms of results, nor entertainment value. We start our weekend at White Hart Lane, where "Bound FOAR 2nd" Spurs host "15th and falling but still safe" Bournemouth (7:30, NBCSN).  The Cherries failed to make much of an impression

Lesser Footy – Saving Us From el Beisbol

At least FOAR a few weeks longer.  Christ, I had forgotten what a drag it is when sport is dominated by nap-sport.  Ah well, I have my books, my music, and my suicidal thoughts.  Onto the fixtures! Spurs, fresh off their mad late comeback at Swansea midweek, host 10th position Watford

Lesser Footy Ides of March – Foxes Reborn

If it seems Shakespearean, that's because it is...the no-longer interim manager and Leicester City are through to the Champions League quarterfinals and well on their way to Premiership safety. Tis a mad fuckin' world.  So much can change in a month's time. Special shout out to Litre_Cola's Fulham Cottagers, who will qualify

“All Things Cancelled” Lesser Footy Thread

Unless you are interested in the FA Cup quarterfinals (which has caused the rash of cancellations), there ain't much going on.  I have little interest since I selfishly need both finalists to be Top 6 in the Table, so that 7th position will qualify Everton for Europa League.  Some people

Lesser Footy Before the Madness

Yes, it's almost time to be consumed with our office pools and the like.  But first, there is some unfinished business in the Prem worth watching, like the amazing seasons of strikers Harry Kane (Spurs) and Romelu Lukaku (Everton).  It's quite refreshing that neither of the marquee goal scorers plays for

Welcoming Back Lesser Footy WITHOUT Claudio Ranieri

Yes, footy will definitely be way less foxy without his grinning face on the sidelines.  Leicester remain alive in the Champions League (despite a dreadful performance on Wednesday, a 1-nil win at home would see them advance into the quarterfinals), but the Board pulled the plug nonetheless, a mere 9+

Wake the Fuck Up to Lesser Footy!!

Original Art randomly left on the counter by one of my kids mid-week. Seemed fitting enough, FFS. No matches next week, so these'll have to do for awhile. FUCK SAKE. Hull travel to Arsenal to kick things off (7:30, NBCSN) and oddly enough, tis the Tigers who are
