S7M38: Maths & a Tale of Mother/Son Love

A little late to the party but I've been on nights and had a tough week and frankly looking forward to the of season.

Let's get a little bit of business out the way first - City break records. 2nd place, 5-7th place and much of the relegation business is done and dusted. Comiserations to WBA for starting their run to safety a few weeks too late. Hearty HAHAHAHAHAHAHA to Stoke, and especially to Ryan Shawcross for his mistake that relegated possibly the nastiest team in existence who have added nothing to the footballing world for the last 10 years and frankly leave behind the horrific stain on the footballing landscape that is Pulis. Oh, and Ramsey's career not hitting the Pele-esque levels that his talent, love of rhinos and frankly, commitment to inane-media-interviews deserves. That boy can state the obvious like no-one's business.

Fortuntaely, I love him, would make him captain and lock him in a room wth a new 10 year contract and tell him for every hour it takes to sign it, I'd personally sneak into a safari park and exterminate a rhino. I obviously wouldn't - love the Attenborough and all that - but I'm not sure Rambo reads the blogs so would he take that chance?

I digress. Stoke. LOL.

Obviously if Rambo did sign that new deal, his leg would then explode or something, but still.

Sorry, digressed again. Stoke. LOL.

Swansea look odds on to join them which, if I'm being totally honest doesn't really bother me due to Wales not being part of England and so finding the whole Cardiff, Wrexham, Swansea thing mildly irritating unless we also include other Home Nations, I'm not agin them going down. Plus, Southampton are a historic PL club with their Merlin sticker albums and their Sanderson sponsored identical kit to Sheffield Wednesday (red stripes, not blue) and that Pahars fella and didn't Francis Benali have a goatee?



He did not. He had a horror 'tache. Might rethink this Swansea being relegated thing.

You may also be interested in some of the rabbit holes I've fallen down whilst writing the above guff.

1) Sanderson now make IT software for retail and e-commerce. I have no idea what they did 20 years ago but probably not that

2) 

Does Ramsey just keep a stack of T-shirts in his locker and hand them out?
I mean he's right. Poaching is evil and bad and rhinos are quite good, although not that brilliant in the animal kingdom hierarchy but still don't deserve extinction. I'm glad he has a hobby and a passion away from football. Sorry Aaron, if you're reading. I'll donate my winnings from tomorrow to a rhino welfare charity...



You cheating, two-timing bugger. You'll go after anything with horns.

I think I've digressed again. STOKE. LOL. Let's get statty.
