Saturday Footy Miscellany

I thank the esteemed Balls for filling in ably last week.  I drove up to London, Ontario for a 2-day visit withmy oldest HippoSpawn.  It was nice, just that’s about as long as I can go without a recluse-based panic attack.  So, nice to be home as well.

One side benefit, I got to listen to the radio lots and lots.  Fontaines D.C. (h/t to Litre for originally introducing me to these lads) have a new one out – and it absolutely fucking slays:

I can imagine fewer feelings MOAR helpless than hoping for City of Men to drop points down the stretch.  Brings to mind Krusty and his bet on the Washington Generals (I thought they were due!).  But the King’s Afrikan Water Pistols are in said position.  At least they only need one Draw, not a loss or multiples (PHRASING).  Still, after watching them play cat and mouse with Brighton midweek?  Oy.  Locked in City of Men are as good as footy gets.

Anyway, all that title race fun is Sunday – Arsenal/Spurs first (9:00), followed by City/Forest (11:30).  Who knows, maybe the Robins Hood get beaten so badly that Martin Prince’s Lutes start fannying about again.  They play today (10:00, USA) against Wolves.  But I really think the race to the bottom is done and dusted.

Other matches include Ded Rotting Redshite against out of form Hammers (7:30, USA); both-now-safe-so-no-drama Toffees/Bees (12:30, NBC); and Shempions-chasing Villa taking on Crisis Club Chelski (3:00, Peacock).  Enjoy, along with however much of Day Three NFL Draft coverage you can stomach.  I close with one MOAR banger, Hippo OUT!
