As an Evertonian, I’m up early today mostly to boo. Plus I have to wake up kids and drive them around for various school-related shit. Parenting is hard, even half-assed single Dad parenting.

Yes, our dear friends at Leicester City only need 3 points out of 9 (or Spurs to drop 3 of 9, or some combo thereof), thanks to Spurs bottling an easy Monday Night Footy fixture after sitting on a 1-nil lead for a long fucking time. We’uns in 90-95% territory now, and that’s probably an understatement.

Don’t get up TOO EARLY, as there’s nothing before the 10:00 window on Saturday. Which is full of shit matches anyway, with NBCSN and USA both showing dull matches with relegation-fighting sides. I will boo Everton (Tim Howard will play for the first time in months), as will most of the home crowd, since the Board is too lazy/cheap to fire Roberto Martinez ahead of the match against the Cherries. Hate watch on Extra Time!

Even the 12:30 on big NBC is a relegation match (Norwich/Arsenal), plus it cuts into THE DRAFT. Fuck that noise. There are punters to be selected.

The real action is Sunday Funay, with Foxy Footy possibly clinching the title at Old Trafford (9:05, NBCSN). What a perfect “Barbarians at the Gate” setting that would be, yes? Plus it would spare me seeing them clinch against Everton at home the following week, though their fans really deserve to see that moment at home. But I bet they’d be fine with not waiting. If you haven’t seen one footy match all season, watch this one.

Soton and City square off next (11:30, NBCSN), which has meaning in the mildly interesting race for 3rd place between City and Arsenal (City currently leads on goal differential). It’s not totally out of the question that City could catch Spurs if they totally fell apart once the title race ended. But bloody unlikely.

Monday Night Footy is Spurs yet again, this time against Chelski at Stamford Bridge (3:00, NBCSN). Chelski’s run of improved form has gone wobbly of late, but I’m sure they will be up to play spoiler here, as all the London clubs hate for any of the other to succeed. A game to watch if the Foxes leave the door cracked.
