Even More EPL – Weekend Three WOO!

We’re into semi-competitive pre-season NFL, and minor league games (aka university-affiliated football) will start in two short weeks. So, cherish the relative tranquility of these Lesser Footy-only Saturday morning/early afternoons. The appetizer before the buffet. The gentle stretching before the orgy.

Week Two saw Manchester City take Chelski’s pants down in front of the whole world, to my schadenfreude-laden laughter. It’s all City at the top, with Leicester just behind the Mancs on goal difference (+6 to +3). Manure and The Fucking Shite are also unbeaten (+2 GD) but who the fuck wants to talk about those thundercunts?

You get the shotglasses again because they were totes good luck for my Toffees last week, who went into one of their historical bogey grounds and thrashed Sill’s Saints 3-nil. When Everton gets their shit together, they can really play some lovely footy and make even a cynical old pilled-out Hippo dream. Everton are tied for 5th with Swans on 4 points.

I can fairly and without bias hype the EFC match this weekend, their home contest with Manchester City is certainly the must-see fixture (Sunday, 11:00) of the Week Three slate. Arseholes and the Shite (hey, a theme!) on Monday afternoon should also be good. Is Leicester going to be a real thing whatsoever? They can go a long way towards proving their mettle by getting a result against Tottenham, in the best of the Saturday 10:00 slate. All three of these will be on NBCSN.

Programming note – once the college football starts, I will incorporate some preview analysis of that as well. Should make for some good open thread discussions and HOT TAEKS.
