Chasing Glory (Holes?) Saturday Open Thread

Down the stretch they come, like they say in horsey racing.  Or maybe I am thinking of the Houston 500??

Anyway, all three Title contenders have away fixtures this weekend.  We start with City of Men traveling to Olde London Towne to meet Crystal Palace (7:30, USA).  This one feels the least like a banana skin, but YMMV.

The 10:00 window is pretty shambolic, with the only decent fixture shuttled off to Peacock (Mighty Whitey hosting Geordie Arabia).  Villa/Beesus is the USA pick, though I can’t for the life of me figure out why.  Is Hell other people, or is it really having to watch Very Limping Across the Finish Everton home to Boo-urnley?  Yeah, I will stream that little gem.  I know what I done to deserve it.

Finally (for Saturday’s portion), you get the King’s Afrikan Water Pistols with a very tricky one at the AmEx (12:30, USA).  Sure, Brighton haven’t been very impressive of late.  But they’re kind of due, you know?  Big test of Gooner mettle, this.

Big NBC saves its Spotlight chips to go all in on Sunday Funday, with a Men Untied/Shite (10:30) and Knifey/Chelski (12:30) doubleheader.  I can’t watch the first one, but you probably should.  Suffice to say, if Men Untied concede TWICE in the 10-11th minute of added time AGAIN…oh good God, I can’t even imagine.  Chelski are unlikely to need similar heroics again, as Knifey look ded af.  You can also stream Spurs hosting Robins Hood (1:00), if that strikes your fancy.

Then, there’s also that Lesser, Lesser Sportsball contest that I’ve been ignoring, tonight on TBS.  Yes, I worry that tWBS’ ghost will haunt me if I continue to do so.  Is the banner pic a sign of me weakening?  MAYBE!
