Quiet week in the football calendar. Nice to have a bit of down time, space to reflect.
PL football wraps up this weekend, and the only thing to play for is the order of clubs 3-7, and accordingly, who gets CL, who gets EL and who gets ECL. Arsenal are all but mathematically done in 2nd, and City are highlight unlikely to fall lower than 6th. But Newcastle, Chelsea, Villa and Forest can call move around based on the final day results.
The last ever day at Goodison went by in a sea of Blue Smoke. Not the BBQ people, flares. About 18 years ago I spent several hours on the phone to Everton listening to their hold music - Z cars - trying to get some tickets for Impossibilitee player David Graniewitz who was visiting the UK. I don't know why. I've had a Pavlovian hatred of that song ever since, so hoping the move to the new stadium brings a new song. The Wonder of You would do it.
We also said goodbye to Jamie Vardy, leaving relegated Leicester. His role and output have waned this season, but he'd said a few weeks back, he wanted to play this game - his 500th for Leciester - and score his 200th goal and then would be done, and incredibly, he's delivered on it. Matchfixing? He's openly said he doesn't want to play in the final matchday....
Finally, we have a tradition at Impossibilitee of following the FA Cup, and though the prediction game in the cup stopped years ago, it's impossible not to have your heart warmed by Crystal Palace winning their first ever trophy, deservedly over Man City last weekend. It's always wonderful to see fans, long starved of success getting their big day in the limelight.
Unless they're Spurs fans. Fortunately, that'll never happen, eh?
