Contenders Keep Stumbling – EPL Destiny Update/Weekend Preview

After the standings tightened last weekend, the midweek fixtures loomed very large. Of the three main contenders, only Leicester played Tuesday…and managed only a disappointing draw against middling West Brom.

So, the door was wide open for the red-hot Spurs to take over 1st on goal differential, and Arsenal to get back within 3 points. And they both lost. Arsenal to relegation-threatened Swans. At least West Ham are on good form, but I don’t think that’s of much comfort to Spurs supporters right now.

Perhaps destiny shines brightly on Foxy Footy after all? Only 3 points maximum are available to its two rivals combined this weekend, since they square off super early Saturday morning (7:45 EST, NBCSN). Should Arsenal lose, it might be curtains for their title chances. Must see TV, despite the hour.

City (who also lost midweek, and are really in the shitter by their standards of late) get “Boston College of the Premiership” Aston Villa in the featured 10:00 match (NBCSN). Featured because somebody at NBC/Universal likes stroking it to snuff porn, apparently. There IS a competitive, interesting option in Everton/West Ham on the secondary coverage feed (USA). I am biased, but I do honestly think that’s the match to watch for the neutral fan.

Foxy Footy will know exactly where things stand when they kick off for the “evening” fixture (12:30, NBCSN) against Watford, even though big NBC isn’t picking this one up.

Sunday meh-day doubleheader is Palace/Shite (8:30), West Brom/Manure (11:00), both on NBCSN. Both asshole red teams are coming off impressive midweek showings, so perhaps/hopefully they will be overconfident and give me something to laugh about. Otherwise…not much to see here.

The FA Cup starts jumbling the schedule again next weekend, so buckle up. And remember…FOXES NEVER QUIT. (As a pill aficianado, I can appreciate that sentiment.)

I just felt like sharing. Also because the actress (Stephanie Corneliussen) has been promoted to regular cast member on Mr. Robot season 2.

Meh.

I have actual people in my life that I hate who went to UNC.

I just hate Duke because if hating Duke is wrong I don’t want to be right.

Evening everyone. Yay Foxy Footy, because that’s the thing to do. And for those who don’t know, Mythbusters finale is on Discovery. So far they’ve blown up an RV at 50k frames a second.

The UFC is fucking crazy now. It seems like every 7 hours, they have another round of shows. So its McGregor (soon to be homeless and insane on the streets of Dublin…I give it 4 years) vs Diaz brother that isn’t currently banned for weed.

The Diaz dude had like a week to prepare because he is a last second opponent cause the original dude is hurt. McGregor is going up TWO weight classes because…well I guess there is really zero competition.

So tonight I get to watch Paul Blart: Mall Cop.

I don’t know whether seeing them in the reverse order will drive a person insane, but I’m about to find out!

AND I COULDN’T BE HAPPIER

It was this or the new live action Cinderella movie.

I’d rather eat Kevin James’ jockstrap after an ultramarathon in the Sahara in July than watch that fucktacularity.

My ex-abusive dad is on steriods again for his lung thing that has been going on for years. He just threatened to kill me 4 times if they ever diagnose it as emphysema because I smoke cigs outside the garage, 2 doors away from him, but he can smell it when I come in. Both his parents smoked his whole childhood. Also fed him eggs almost every day and that shit closes his throat. I am not scared just laughing at his steroid logic

Arizona just straight up murdering Stanford right now.

So, I am at my sister’s, watching the nephew and such, and I decide to try to make something to eat. I open up one of the cabinets where she keeps her spices and shit, looking for something to inspire me. I see she has that huge cylinder of Morton’s Salt everyone seems to have though no one ever remembers buying, and for like 30 seconds, I could SWEAR the can read “Weaponized Salt.”

I have no idea how you could even do that, let alone why, but I was immensely proud of my sister for thinking outside the box for home defense for a moment there.
