The best 5-minute video you’ll see this weekend. Yup, it’s been 25 years. As well, this video provides a giant clue toward understanding the ethos that continues to compel us — and many other art-damaged Generation Xers — to this day. Thank you, Pavement! If you can understand them, you’ll never be a chalk-eater. Never. You’ll also be immune to the frothy ravings of wannabe strongmen. Really! Continue reading →

’grats to Man City on its championship season in the 2018-19 Premier League. But we would be remiss not to show everyone’s favourite striker — who else? — Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang of the No. London Arse. He had a brace today but really should have had a hat-trick after missing a complete sitter dead centre in the face of goal. He finished on 22 goals for the campaign, and that was good enough for a three-way share of the Golden Boot. Thanks, Obama! Thanks, Aubameyang! Also, Happy Mother’s Day out there. Continue reading →

English fútbol week on the blog ends now with the No. London Arse, who for a change had the most straightforward outcome in Europe this time. Everyone’s favourite striker — who else? — Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored a hat-trick in the Gunners’ 4-2 away win (7-3 on aggregate) over Valencia last night. Thanks, Obama! Thanks, Aubameyang!

Well, now. Spuds are the No. London Arse’s ancestral rival, but it’s principles before personalities, and Tottenham just kept fighting. Scrub on over to the 4:00 mark for the failed clearance by Ajax and then the slip by the defender that sealed everybody’s fate. Continue reading →

All right, all right, ya’ LFC hooligans! Take it easy! ’grats to your lads on a miraculous fightback this evening at Anfield in the second leg of the Champions League semifinal tie vs. Barça. Down nil-3 to the Catalan giants, the Reds somehow managed to level the aggregate score at 3-all after 56 mins. Then in the 79th min., it was Divock Origi scoring the goal that put the hosts into the finals. Remarkable stuff. Scrub on over to the 4:13 mark for the decider. Continue reading →
