In the Land of Nothingness, Nothing is King

That’s right, we don’t even have any EPL fun this weekend.  Since Newly Disappointing Everton are out of the FA Cup (i.e., now a “Mickey Mouse” cup, in footy parlance), I could be arsed about that (check ESPN+ in case you get uber-bored, though).

Might as well recap recent events, though.  City of Men keep stacking maybe not-so-overwhelming results – but RESULTS all the same.  Whereas King’s Afrikan Water Pistols got somewhat fortunate mid-week to get a point away to Brentford.  That is…not how you put a Title race to bed, Handsome Mikel.

For Zooropa-watch purposes, it is quite likely that Top 8 will suffice (one division or the other).  Prem is very much on course for 5 Shempiens bids, and a non-Top 8 cup winner is extremely unlikely.  Cherries, Trashbirds, and the like should hopefully be able to box out any late charge by Geordie Arabia.  But we’ll have to wait and see.

On the hardwood, my Wolven Sort took the biggest conference-fixture beating in school history on Monday (at Louisville), now need to get right at home to Da U (today) and the Holes (next).  I am still too much of a jinx to watch, but will be nervous all the same.

Also midweek, Hippo got sufficient evidence that he is, in fact, too stupid to read Thomas Pynchon (Hippo is now 0-for-2).  I need to make sure my reading list can keep me sane until sweet FITBAW returns.
