Please to keep your hands inside the car at all times. You don't want to acquire the nickname "Stumpy." As during mid-week's torture session, I will add my instant reactions as the match progresses (with time stamps) in the body of the post. I used to regularly live blog NC State

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

Much to my surprise, the assdick MLB ownership cabal finally made a reasonable offer and we'll have el beisbol after all. Hooray, I guess? I mostly ignored it last season, and suspect I will again. Aside from making many, many of my patented #BFIB taeks/jokes. It's also tournament time, making college

Is the world still seven kinds of fucked? YOU BETTER BELIEVE IT. Good think there's Lesser Footy. Everton overcame the runaway freight train that is Boreham Wood, so the Toffees are in the FA Cup Flacco Eight, and one win away from Wembley. Strange days. But for the Prem, we kick

No, for the love of Christ, I am not off the pills. WHY THE MONKEYFUCK WOULD ANYONE DO THAT?? But man, FITBAW heroine withdrawal is bad enough. Thank fuck for Frank Lampard, amirite?? If you wake up for Hammers/Barcodes, and you aren't Fronk, you get what you deserve - it's behind

So much excite! Two squadrons that I don't have even a tiny bit of hatred for, playing for the Owl title. What are we to do in the lead-up? WATCH LESSER FOOTY, of course! Because of the 2022 Sticky Icky Stoner Games Winter Olympics, or just out of rampant greed -

Good morning, fellow inmates of the imaginary asylum! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7aItpjF5vXc We come back from a week off for the Prem, and there's ONE match. And it's Burnley/Watford (1p, Peacock). BLECH. But lo, we have a shit ton of FA Cup ties. The patented magic started last night, with Boro taking out Men Untied, after

The One Where Hippo Starts Watching Everton Again

King Hippo - January 22, 2022January 22, 2022

Admittedly, the rumours around the managerial search...have not been encouraging. There remains chaos and incompetence in the boardroom. But fuck it, Useless Fuckwit Benitez is gone, and I can watch my beloved Toffees again. Which is timely, given that Everton/Villa are the wakey-bakey Saturday offering (7:30, USA). Slippy G returns to
