Will the thread title summon Wakezilla?? And no, I don't mean today's Massive-Cuntoff. I won't be watching that, though I must wish Don Carlo well (but Other Hippo gags in saying so). NO! All eyes SHOULD be turned to Wembley, where Our Erotic Robins Hood face off against dire and boring Huddersfield

God Bless Super Frank Lampard

King Hippo - May 21, 2022May 20, 2022

I don't know what Lampard told his Very Disappointing Everton charges at the half. I just know it WORKED, even though I had succumbed to despair and turned the telly off. Survival. Somehow, someway...the Blues avoided the drop and have a fighting chance to rebuild. Frank Lampard is the right man to

Ghosts in the Machine Saturday Morning Thread

King Hippo - May 14, 2022May 13, 2022

No Prem matches today. Fookin' seriously - NONE. There is a Cup final at Wembley, but I ain't got no time for that. You do get a tasty Championship promotion playoff, with Team Knifey hosting the Robins Hood (10:00, ESPN+). These always fascinate me, when a neutral. Though I think it

Buttholes Extra Puckered Lesser Footy Open Thread

King Hippo - May 7, 2022May 5, 2022

I am writing this on Thursday, 5 May - since I will be away from my 'puter almost all of Friday. Thank fuck Everton aren't playing. I am tense enough as is. Oldest HippoSpawn graduates university. I am proud of her, so I will go. I will make no emotional displays,

Lesser and Draftmas Combo Platter

King Hippo - April 30, 2022April 29, 2022

Oh man, such a contrast between watching the machinations of my two great loves. Donks WOO!!! draft following is just plain, relaxing fun. I know they won't, say, trade up and draft Noted Local Moe-ron Sam Howell. Because we gots Russell Wilson. I don't have to sweat making reach picks, because we

Saturday “All Aboard the Sinking Ship” Morning Thread

King Hippo - April 23, 2022April 22, 2022

I apologize in advance for tomorrow. I will go missing all day, and there will be no Derby of Ultimate Despair live blog. Because I hate those fucking thundercunts so very much that I can't even bear to watch the mauling. Hope for Premier League survival is fading, but there's still

Please to keep your hands inside the car at all times. You don't want to acquire the nickname "Stumpy." (this opener accompanied a winner, and I am superstitious as fuck) As during the last two Bitter Blue torture sessions, I will add my instant reactions as the match progresses (with time

This is the part of the Lesser schedule when the cup ties start flying fast and furious, and with MOAR at stake. You saw a truly heroic effort by rockingdog's Chelski squadron mid-week, but the Real Cuntfaces got off the mat and advanced. Kings of Shithousery Atleti (meant mostly as

Are you ready for some desert football? Because you'll soon be getting it. Before all that, a reminder that the Prem is back this morning, but feel free to sleep in. The 7:00 fixture is going to make the Final Four seem fellatio-free. Bees/Chelski is in the barrel at 10:00 (USA),

Your illustrious host for the Sunday evening Open Thread is in Toronto this weekend for the Canada-Jamaica World Cup Qualifier game. This is important for two reasons: Canada needs just one point to qualify for the World Cup for the first time since the 80'sLitre has been running a Twitter account

There is only one Prem fixture this morning, Arsenal/Villa (8:30, USA). The King's Afrikan Water Pistols are playfully spraying their way into next season's Shempions League, but as they say in Footy Manager speak "there can be no letup." Villa are a pesky lot, so this might be worth a
