Run of Play Holiday Poem Nonexistence Update

I regret to announce that the Run of Play Holiday Poem has been canceled this year, due to complex travel arrangements and a complete lack of acceptable rhymes for "major kidney stone surgery". If you find yourself enraged or despairing over this news, why not consider a tall glass of eggnog?

Eggnog…because nothing takes away the pain of not getting to read a satirical holiday-themed soccer poem that you were led to believe would be forthcoming quite like a frosty glass of eggnog.

We'll be back in a few days with our usual slate of dedicated Ligue 1 coverage and wall-to-wall Victoria Beckham photospreads. Until then, have a happy holiday, and don't put off your history paper until the last minute, this economy is terrible, and you're barely getting by as it is.

  • Might I suggest "Like a Liverpool burglary/ or major kidney stone surgery, Benitez and co. dealt with many things squirelly?"

    I'll get me coat…

  • The burglary reference is brilliant, but I still can't shake the feeling that "stone" needs to rhyme with "You'll Never Walk Alone" at some point.

  • When Brian postpones
    His audience moans.
    But think of the groans
    If bad Vinnie Jones
    Grabbed those kind of stones.

  • It's a philosophy paper, and I'll put it off as long as I damn well please.

    Happy holidays, and thanks for providing me with such a fantastic procrastination tool. The paper will not be done until ALL archival posts have been read.
