CL: Brugge (1) vs United (3)
m Benno (@Benglorious) Seeing as our ruddy brave boys are in Bruges, I actually watched In Bruges (2008) for realsies. Crivens, there’s a lot of swears in it. You’d never think the main actor was the same guy who wrote the hit song ‘Happy’, although he did look quite pale and a lot fatter than I remember. Opposition summary: Club Brugge are Belgian so obviously the first thing that comes to mind is the classic Dad Game: Famous...
United vs Newcastle
m Benno (@Benglorious) Think I should just put the Photoshop away for a bit. 0-0 United. Tom (@tom_mcghee) Just carry on to read Brett’s. Nothing to see here. m m Brett (@ease) We’re hopefully coming to the business end of the business. Will we? Won’t we? How long will it last? How long’s a piece of cake? Who shot E.R? What? All questions. By the time you’ve read this we may have...
CL: United vs Brugge
m Benno (@Benglorious) LADS LADS LADS IT’S CHAMPIONS LEAGUE qualifiers I went to Brugge once. I didn’t. I saw In Bruges (2008) once. Are they the same place? I guess we’ll never know. All we do know is that Brugge is an anagram of ‘bugger’ and In Bruges is an anagram of ‘Colin Farrell is a nob’. Opposition Summary: Club Brugge Koninklijke Voetbalvereniging, also referred to as just Club Brugge, is a football club based in Bruges...
Villa vs United
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ANDER!! X X X X X X X X X X X X X M m Benno (@Benglorious) Friday night is the best time for football. The shops are shut so I don’t have to go shopping and it’s too dark for DIY. Actually, sod the football, I’m out of here. Opposition Summary: Villa did well to stay up last season, so it’s lucky that they kept Benteke or else they’d be...
The ETNAR Beginning-of-the-Season End of Season Awards!
I was planning to do some (serious) end of season awards on my serious, stats-y blog (everyteamneedsaron.com) but ended up dramatically quitting football stats before the season’s end only to rise again, Messiah like, after it had finished. Meaning no end of season awards. So what better way to rectify that than the inaugural ETNAR Beginning-of-the-Season End of Season Awards, giving out the prizes now so that we don’t have to bother in May. It’s...
United vs. Spurs
Wm m NEW SEASON, NEW LOOK BIFURCATED avatars M Benno (@Benglorious) Mere time units since some no-mark team from some overrated city lifted the Premiership League trophy, we’re here again for yet another season of this game that you all love so dearly. When will it all end? Some old players have left, some new ones have arrived, Old Trafford is still old, there’s a new shirt thing which is just made in an old sweatshop…...
Footballiversity #9
Multiversity was a DC comics series written by Grant Morrison. Every month saw a story loosely tied around a seemingly haunted comic book. Footballiversity and the various numbered Footballiverses are a shameless rip-off of the comics device (found elsewhere too, of course) of using parallel universes when you have nothing else to write about, and is an idea that came to me while reading Multiversity, although in a parallel universe Grant Morrison got the idea...
