Well, looky-loo.  We have waded one-third of the way through the regular season.  With one turd of a Week 6 slate. Closing out this year's London series, you had Ratbirds and Tits - seemingly a pretty interesting matchup.  You know, on paper.  In reality, Balmer ran out to an 18-3 halftime lead,

You'd think we'd get a better schedule from the universe, with no morning Lesser Footy to enjoy.  But noooooo, the universe say fuck all y'all, yew git what yew git.

September is such a beautiful time of year, and not just for the "windows down" time in the car.  That does make the outside world a teenier bit MOAR bearable, though. Also!  We get a proper Saturday morning of footy, with Villa hosting the Trashbirds early (7:30, USA).  I can't promise

DonT sent the banner pic earlier this week.  You can't read the caption because it's that kind of timeline - but it sagely reads: When you're dead inside and sick of life but at least there are cats. As you may have noticed, despite a very good overall performance from the much-shat-upon Charmslinger...the
