Everything in this Timeline remains very stupid, and even MOAR terrible. There, you are all caught up on the week's current events. Loads of footy to maybe watch, starting with "Classic Six Pointer" (for Shempions qualification) between City of Men and the Robins Hood (7:30, USA).  Various tepid offerings continue straight through

Is everyone up early?  I sure hope so, because David Moyes - and the Old Lady (ie, Goodison Park) get one last shot against Men Untied (7:30, USA). Moyes' United tenure ended at this very same location, to the tune of Evertonians serenading his demise.  Yes, he lost BOTH matches against

THREE SHORT DAYS before the possible self-implosion of American society as we know/love/tolerate it.  And we can't even get a full, distracting slate of fixtures. OK, Barcodes and Gooners to start (8:30, USA) ain't too bad.  But then USA shows...Sham Town and Everton?? (11:00).  Even HIPPO won't enjoy watching that car
