    Matchday 34- where it feels like the end of the season is coming

    33 of 38 feels a lot farther away than 34 or 38. Choosing between further and farther led to semantic satiation for both words. I don’t recall that ever happening before. Hopefully we all get that from Arsenal and State Citeh losses.

    Matchweek 33 - In which I can’t come up with anything

    Spurs kicking us off with a showdown against Saudi Arabia. It’s always best to beat state owned clubs, so COYS? I guess?

    MW32, in which we’re all Crystal Palace fans

    Looking forward to Palace looking like they have a shot for 45-60 minutes and then getting absolutely buried in the last half hour.

    MW28 - Too early for a clever title

    Everton looking lively early against Manchester Disappointing. Not a bad way to start the footy weekend. I need to bail soon to head to a coaching licensing class. Let’s hope the interesting bits happen soon.

    It’s MW23!

    Woke up to find a bunch of dog shit on the floor. Dog chose the hardwood, which was nice of him. He seems to have eaten an entire bag of cough drops judging by the wrappers in it, which was not nice of him. I suspect that menthol wasn’t as soothing on his outbox as it is to my Covid Cough. I...

    Matchday 14 - Too boring to start a thread on time?

    I have Wolves and Arse on in the background. Can’t be bothered, though. Wolves must be flying high on the assurance that the decisions were incorrect but weren’t “clear and obvious.” Whatever the fuck that means.

    11/25 - Post-Turkey Match Thread - Don’t Sleep In

    I don’t have anything clever. Another early kickoff after the international break for Liverpool- at least they know how to prepare. Silva’s little low bridge on Mac was cute. Just let him know he’s there.

    ADD/ADHD strategies

    SOSH Hivemind!!! I decided it was time to stop coaching my son last spring. I loved working with his team, but we didn’t develop effective strategies for him to make the break between Dad and Coach. We put him in an advanced program with an absolutely fantastic coaching staff and have been...

    3/4 Weekend Matchthread

    Kicking off with the Oil Derby. I don’t think Newcastle will hold off the boys in powder blue.

    Antivirus for our elders

    I’ve been out of the IT support game for too long to know what’s current. I’m sick of wiping my mother in law’s computer every time she clicks something stupid. Is there a nuclear AV/AM option I can make her buy? What are the current standard removal tools? When did Google become completely...

    U8 Soccer - first time head coach and a challenging player

    My town had a coaching shortage this spring. While I’ve been assisting most of my son’s teams, this is my first dive into being responsible for the entire group. Prior to this I’ve coached middle, high school, and college goalkeepers. So far, everything is going well, but I have one player I...

    Matchweek 26 - At least it’s isn’t the FA Cup

    Weirdly boring week. Spurs and City might be interesting if Conte believed in a midfield, but he doesn’t. Maybe Wolves and Leicester will entertain?

    Matchday 10

    Cold morning, fire’s going, daughter woke me up at 0520, and my son’s soccer game was canceled. Time to curl up and not move for a few hours (other than fist pumps).

    Week 8

    Peacock’s framerate seems to be in the 12-16FPS range this morning. My brain is not capable of the required smoothing to not make this a headache-inducer.

    Matchweek 2 - Peacock still sucks

    Why do US EPL fans have to return to the earliest days of streaming?
