  1. Everyone who enjoys footy, pranks, fucking with authority, and any form of literature, should enjoy Brian (Phillip's) description of the whole "Masal Bugduv" prank linked by umlaut. Brian: brilliant stuff/coverage, and it all makes a ton of sense the way you describe it (presuming you're not galwaygooner!)?

    Thanks for the research, either way...

  2. Only a yellow for the squared-shoulder take down of the charging forward -- seems about right.

  3. Its Friday night, which means I corrupt your life with my horrrribbble picks...(side note: if you saw "the commish" becoming "Vic Mackey" in any possible universe and lifetime - I don't believe you)

    Reality roundup - a miserable 3-5 record (with 2 postponements) - and an amazingly perfect record of not getting a single game right yet...perfection, thy name is me...!


    Rovers 2-0 Joe Fuckin' Newcastle (I already know I'm losing this one, but I can't help myself)
    SFB 0-1 ManUre
    Spartak 2-1 Stoke City (adios anyways, Big Phil)
    Citeh 0-1 Wigan (Steve Bruce, you elegant bastard)
    Sunderland 0-2 AV (AV is about to get too stretched, but this is one they can win)
    HC 1-2 Arsenal - give me a good game to watch, dammit...
    West Ham U 1-1 Fulham
    Spurs 2-0 Pompey (Adams is a dead man walking...)
    Liverpool 1-0 Everton - f'it, they'll find a way to win this one...

  4. Last week I went 4-4, I didn't even pick the spurs v. wigan game for some reason, I was sober too! damnit!

    But the good news today is I've had a few to drink, so I should do well.

    Blackburn 1-1 Newcastle
    SFB 0-2 United
    Spartak 3-1 Stoke
    Citeh 2-3 Wigan
    Sunderland 1-2 Aston Villa
    WBA 1-1 Boro
    Hull 1-2 Arsenal
    West Ham 1-2 Fulham
    Spurs 1-0 Pompey
    Liverpool 0-1 Everton(upset of the week)
    I need to look back and find these all to keep a running tally for myself.

  5. Crap, I skipped WBA-Boro. My brain says 2-1, but apparently last night the beer said 1-2. The safe bet is that both are wrong...
