Supporters across the Premiership anxiously wait, as deadline day (1 Sept) approaches. For some, it's wondering if Santa will arrive and/or how much cool new shit they get. For others (cough, cough, Everton) it's praying The Grinch doesn't take away everything. Including the will to live. But first, we got fixtures

Perhaps the most delightful aspect of the 2021-22 season (so far, anyway) is the return of a favoUrite meme. And our beloved Moose Hornets tango with the Trashbirds, on national teevee (12:30, NBC). That is, no doubt, today's must see. Don't wake up to watch the braying Redshite fuckwits, as their

Guten Tag, Mein, (looks for German word for 'friend', realizes that they probably don't have one, and that this would explain a lot): Seems our content mines have run a bit bare this morning, so here's Horatio with a wildly inaccurate analysis of today's games, and Groups D & E complete

Welcome back to another exclusive sneak preview of the Hue Jackson School of Scam Artistry! As we move ever closer to summer - and, most importantly, to the return of football training camps - I find myself once again thinking about an age-old question: Is hard work more important to success

Welcome to Everton, Arsenal

King Hippo - May 8, 2021May 7, 2021

It ain't get no better. In case you missed it, the Gooners laid a wet fart on Thursday night - one shot on target AT HOME, and Villareal (with maybe what, 10% of Arsenal's money?) makes their first European final. They'll get Ole's rejuvenated United, who surely gave Mourinho nightmares re his

I have nothing to say about the horsey race, except that it amuses me greatly for its "spectacle" to take place on May Day. Seize the means of production, Most Glorious Kenfucky Proletariat!

DFO's crack(head) team of Lesser enthusiasts tackle the big issues! Hippo
