I walk the dog every day, two miles. I have taken the same route for going on 4 years now. I pass the same two hundred or so houses. And I have seen people come and go out of every one of those houses, except one. Most of the houses have little or no activity but at least I can tell if someone lives there: the cars move, the garbage cans move, some small change. But this house? Nothing. No car in the front and the garbage cans never move. They are also almost always empty (when I toss my dog bags in them). Someone must live there but it’s giving off a strong “weird” vibe. Maybe a killer clown lives in the basement. I wonder what kind of sandwich they make in that house? Probably liverwurst. I like liverwurst, by the way, it’s good ole classic.
Oh man, when I was researching liverwurst sandwiches I found some really strange youtube videos shot inside dusky homes of people making absolutely gross looking liverwurst sandwiches. Look at this, this guy definitely lives in that house.
HALF A POUND OF “BRAWNS WINGER”. Look at the size of those onion slices. And all on Wonder bread. My favorite moment though has to be “this isn’t going to work if you don’t like Mayonnaise.”
And then my man glops on an Undercover Brother amount of mayo. Seriously, though, watch the whole video and check out the final product.
This week, I’m going to make some ciabatta and some rolls for po’boys. Ciabatta is for my attempt to re-do the failed caprese salad sandwich from my 40 sandwiches tour. This time with Buffalo mozzarella, some really good tomato, arugula, basil (I might make pesto), and a balsamic reduction.
Right, so in Arsenal news: Arsenal beat West Brom and relegated the unrelegatable Sam Allardyce. Yay.
Willian scored, proving that a blind squirrel can find a nut. Also Smith Rowe scored a fantastic goal, his first for Arsenal. Nicola Pepe was allowed to shoot his favorite shot and scored a goal as well to round out the scoring fun. We also conceded a goal, just to make the game interesting.
Before you get too excited about Arsenal possibly finishing in the European places (5th or 6th) 538 gives us less than 1% chance. Basically the same chance that Man U will win the League. We could, however, get into that new Europa Conference League. And here’s a thing I’m going to say: we actually kinda need to be in it. Not for the money (it will probably be a net drain of money) but for the UEFA coefficients. Because those UEFA coefficients could be a backdoor for Arsenal to get into the Champions League and have our asses handed to us on the regular.
538 gives us a 4% chance of finishing 7th which would qualify us for the Conference League. But basically we have to win the remaining matches, which ain’t happening because Chelsea are going to destroy us. Maybe there are other ways to qualify for the Conference League but honestly, can’t be too arsed to look them up.
Hahaha, I like me some good liverwurst, but that sandwich looks disgusting. Liverwurst is almost pure fat, and then you add more fat in the form of mayonnaise? Raw onions… haha I’m sure he’s a pleasure to make out with after eating that thing, his breath probably dissolves zombies.
It’s like I’ve never understood chip butties either…. you have bread, mayo.. and more carbs in the form of french fries? wtf?
We DO NOT want to qualify for the conference league – even if you win it, my understanding is it only qualifies you for the Europa League the following season. What a waste of time and if we’re out of it, then arguably we don’t need as deep a squad if we’re playing once a week.
That’s why I was actually upset yesterday – why are we playing Lacazette, Ceballos, Partey, Elneny and Willian in games that should mean squat other than perhaps getting us a few hundred thousand extra quid if we finish 8th versus 10th? Put in Balogun and Azeez, play Martinelli the full 90 and just throw the towel in and have some fun.
I was told by most of my TL on twitter that the youth players had played in an U23 match or something on Friday. But there aren’t any more U23 matches this season. So, I expect to see a lot of youth players in ther final two matches of the season (maybe not Chelsea).
Thanks for the post Tim. A relatively easy win vs a really bad team. We have looked really good all season against the bottom 1/3 of the table. Glad to see a Sam Allardyce team relegated. Even if our chance of finish in a Europa league spot we need to continue to give our best and try to win. I do agree with Jack and having Willian in our starting line up seems rather useless.
why does anyone feel the need to make a liverwurst sandwich instructional video? And who thinks their liverwurst sandwich is SOOO amazing that it must be documented and shared to the world? just bizarre. And that guy is going to lose a finger tip or two chopping onions that way.
Brilliant. And totally gross – the size of the slices, the thickness of the mayo, the whiteness of the bread, the challenge of that much raw onion. My insides were doing somersaults just at the thought.
Brilliant also the Willian blind squirrel analogy. Cracking goal tho’ – he had to hit the side netting to beat the keeper. Glad he saved it up for the all important West Brom game.
Funny game. The first twenty minutes it felt like we’d fall behind. But there’s a reason WBA are at the exit door. Then despite Willian’s desire to make 30 yard pass-backs we scored two really nice goals. Their goal was us at our porous, passive best. I wonder what plans ZZ has for Ceballos? His stock has crashed these last two seasons.
Would have been nice to give a few more youngsters a run out but MA is in self preservation mode. Big props for Saka. Who knew he’d be better at LB than Xhaka? The kid is an absolute diamond and the sky’s the limit for him. His numbers this season are very good for a MF at his age.
Ceballos seems bound for a team like Villareal. His long hasn’t benefited anyone… us, Real or himself.
Thanks Tim. I prefer blind pig and acorn but squirrel and nut will do. Kinda surprised you’re going for the caprese salad sandwich this time of year. Hard to find a decent, much less good tomato in May.
I KNOW but I stupidly bought some buffala motz. Maybe I should just put it on a pizza.
Add it to some quality prosciutto and drizzle truffle honey over.
Bake any fresh bread to mop it up
At this time of year you can also add fresh ripe jammy figs
i was about to stop the video but then he went and said it, “make sure you get the wonder bread, not the cheap stuff”. man, i lost it! i was in tears. i just couldn’t stop watching. thanks to you, tim, that man is getting views.
as for the game, arteta doesn’t see things the way that we do as far as an opportunity to get the young guys minutes. he’s got to think about keeping his job. if he’d lost against west brom, there would have been even more intense protests for him to get the sack. he’ll try and win every single point until the end of the season.
btw, i loved the undercover brother reference; a special movie that brings special memories for me.
