The Four Premier League 2021/22 Title Contenders: Evaluation & Head on Head Match-Up

Image
The Premier League is famous for its upsets and underdog stories. It has had 5 different clubs as Champions in the last 9 seasons, 3 of whom have one more than once and including a run of 4 different ones in 4 consecutive seasons. With regards to the rest of Europe's top 5 leagues, 3 different teams have won La Liga, 3 in Ligue Un (although PSG have won 7), 2 in Serie A (8 having been Juventus) and only a single team has won the Bundesliga, with Bayern dominating throughout that time frame.  This makes the league really fun to watch, but it is also really hard to pick a winner because of it. I have, however, whittled it down to 4 teams who would win the league fairly unsurprisingly. While I think if Leicester can hold on to Tielemans they could have an outside shot at winning, I would be greatly surprised if the next champion was not Chelsea, Liverpool or either of the two Manchester clubs. I will first do a short team evaluation, and then move on to the player-by-player analysis,

Fenrir Greyback Part 3: Ministry-Made Madness

Image
The final part of my Fenrir Greyback series, in this post I will be discussing the huge issues in the wizarding world, often caused by the Ministry, and why it is actually the fault of the wizarding world that villains such as Fenrir Greyback ever came to be. I think it is quite interesting that J.K. Rowling made the ministry so flawed, but I think this was a brilliant thing to do because of how it led to Harry Potter, at least if you look closely, not to be just another good vs. evil series, but rather much more complex with the two sides being closely intertwined. Werewolves are the victims of massive discrimination. As we have seen they are permitted to carry a wand, but they are largely banished from the wizarding world. No registered werewolves are given jobs, as we saw with Lupin, and your absence near the full moon is a tell-tale sign that you are a werewolf, meaning that even unregistered werewolves aren't likely to be able to hold down a job for more than a couple of month

Rating Every PL Clubs' 2021-22 Home Kit

Image
While Burnley, Crystal Palace and Watford have not yet released their home kits, I am going to do this post I have been itching to make for quite long anyway. I'm going to be looking through the 2021/22 Home Kits and rating them from 1-10, with 5 being average. I have a feeling these kits are going to have an average of below 5, since quite a few are quite horrific. Despite this, however, I hope you enjoy. Arsenal: 7 I like this kit, and only really have one major critique: those three dark blue lines on the shoulder and the dark-blue collar. Firstly, it looks like something Manchester United would do, and secondly, the color doesn't go with it do well. I think the shirt would need to be a darker shade of red for it to work. Other than that though, pretty nice kit.  Aston Villa: 2 The pattern looks like something I would make if I was told to draw the pattern on a Scottish Kilt from memory. It looks like they ran out of blue for the sleeves and just randomly patched it up with

Survivor Season 41 Leaked Cast Review (Part 3)

Image
Welcome back everyone! Please feel free to read through this entire post before checking out the first two parts, as these are in no particular order. This is the ultimate post in this series where I go over all 18 of the leaked Survivor 41 cast. I may do a post on the changes to the Survivor format, which I think are good (e.g. no Edge or Fire Tokens) and which... not so much (e.g. 3 tribes and no themes), so please comment below if you'd like to see that. But without any more dilly-dally, let's get into the list. Ricard Foye  Ricard Foye is a flight attendant who runs the podcast " Ricard's Reality " on reality TV, and is a big fan of Survivor, along with both The Amazing Race and Big Brother. He identifies as a gay man of color, meaning he perfectly fits CBS's new 50% diversity casting. I originally thought his name was pronounced "Richard Foy" but according to him it is "riKARD foYAY", and I'm gonna trust him on this.  I would think

Merseyside Combined Eleven (With a Twist)

Image
A Merseyside combined eleven would obviously have about 9 or 10 Liverpool players with maybe 1 or 2 from Everton, so I decided to change up the rules. Neither club can have more than 6 players, meaning I will have to make the best team with only 6 Liverpudlians and 5 Evertonians. Please leave your thoughts below, but here is my best eleven. Goalkeeper: Alisson Becker While Pickford had a fairly good Euros, the consistency and brilliance of one of the world's three best keepers could simply not be left out. While he was rotated during the Euros, he is still Brazil and the Premier League's best goalkeeper despite Liverpool's recent underwhelming campaign. Alisson becomes the first player in this team. Left Back: Lucas Digne  While Robertson is obviously the better of the left back options, Digne is among Everton's best three players in my opinion, and I'm not sure Robbo even makes Liverpool's top 6. My choice here is therefore the France international, because my

A Revised History of Fenrir Greyback, the Most Powerful Werewolf Ever

Image
My favorite ever post, many of you will know, is called "A Revised History of Ekrizdis, The Evilest Wizard Ever". I had to debate whether to try to summon that old magic again or leave it alone. Go big or go home, I guess. If this goes well and all of you guys enjoy it, I will probably talk about some more underappreciated and mysterious characters. Without further ado, let's talk about the Wolf-Man himself, Fenrir Greyback. While all the highlights of the adult life of Fenrir Greyback are fairly well documented, it is almost impossible to find any information on his childhood, which just leaves more for me to speculate about. So while I will go over his adult life briefly near the end, it is his childhood I will be covering in for the majority of this post.  His story actually starts before his birthdate, which is sometime prior to 1960. I cannot actually find the article, but one person speculated about how Greyback got his name. They speculate about how he got such an

Survivor Season 41: Leaked Cast Review Part 2

Image
Welcome back everyone! Please feel free to read these "parts" in any order, it isn't important to read them in writing order, I just couldn't put it all in one post. Basically in this series, I stalk all the contestants so you don't have to! Wow, so kind. In todays post I will be discussing the six contestants in the middle of the bellow list. So yeah, let's go.  Evvie Jagoda  28-year-old Cambridge, Massachusetts native Evvie Jagoda is studying a PhD in the interbreeding of "modern" humans and Neanderthals. She is very active on social media and often addresses issues on LGBTQ+ rights, being Lesbian herself. She is also likely a huge Survivor fan, because on Twitter her description is "Be gay, do science! I'm either in a lab, at a protest or bingeing reality TV. " She is very openly against Trump and raises thousands of dollars each year to promote Pride Month. To see more of her Twitter content, click here .  I think Evvie could be an
