S6M33: Springtime four

I'm not gonna lie. 2016 was bad guys. That said, 2017 ain't shaping up to be too much better. This is of course, multifaceted, but the football - that escape from reality - is rapidly becoming the most fun-spongey of distractions. Is this what it was like in the early 90s watching Clough fall away? The public evisceration of a footballing great isn't just tragic, it's also criminal how the overriding emotion is one of ennui. We could use him up front right now....

Other people are having more fun. Unfortunately, their fun only deepens my dejection. So, as a matter of humanitarian concern, it'd be just lovely if the Dahlesque Twins of Spurs & Chelsea just sort of imploded. It'd be marvellous if Mourinho stepped on a rake or something. In all honesty however, the North London funk is so thick, so intrinsic, that I feel we're even beyond schadenfreude helping now.

What else to talk about when this is so all-consuming? Boro are rubbish aren't they? So are Sunderland. Might have mentioned that before. Leicester's new manager bounce looks to have run it's course with 2 defeats in a week, but it was enough to save them from relegation now.

Yay them.

Now the birds are out, the sun is shining and I'm off to work part of a Bank Holiday weekend.
