Oh, We Got A Title Race Goin’

Did you remember to blow off work to watch City away to Arsenal mid-week?  An absolute cracker of a match.  King’s Afrikan Water Pistols outplayed the reigning champs for about 70′ – but were level at 1.  And those last 20′ were a dagger to the heart.

City now are ahead on goal differential, but Arsenal still have a game in hand (which is home against Very Disappointing Everton no less), so I don’t think the conclusion has been written.  Probably now a true 50/50 though, always enjoyable for the neutral.

Those same Pistoleros have a mighty quick turnaround, playing the Early Bird Special at Villa (7:30, USA).  To be a true title challenger, you need to rise to occasions on mornings like this.  Will be fascinating to see if they do, and how many changes Handsome Mikel makes to his XI.

USA is televising the scheisse porn between Everton and Leeds at 10.  Just to be mean, I guess.  City get the Robins Hood on Peacock, watch that and see if they have a wee hangover.  Brighton and Fulham should be a tasty treat, too.  Just ignore my Ded Toffees if at all humanly possible.

Bonesaws/Redshite is your Spotlight Dance (12:30, NBC).  Hard.  Fookin.’  PASS.

Sunday should be worthwhile, with Men Untied hosting Lester (9:00, USA), followed by Spurs/Hammers (11:30, USA).  Tottenham just might be killing poor Antonio Conte.  He wouldn’t be the first, nor would he be the last.  Whereas Moyes just has to be happy that 35 points should keep the Hammers safe.  It’s that dreadful at the ass end of the Table.

Hang in there, folks.  We still are months away from Draft weekend.  UGH.

Balls is taking over the Saturday Night beat until JV kicks back off, huzzah!  He will no doubt have somee excellent depravity for all y’all.
