S & M Saturday

Full slate of games in the Premier League today, starting with Man U at Bournemouth at half past the hour. City and Southie play at Etihad at 11, as does Arsenal at home to Wolves. Be interesting to me to see the reception Granit Xhaka gets from the Emiratis, if he plays at all. Last weekend, after social media abuse from Gun fanatics, he was booed when substituted off. He responded to the crowd with “Fuck off!”, mock clapped, sarcastically cupped his ear and waved his arms and then angrily ripped off his sweater and tossed it to the ground. He and the club issued statements, of apology and condemnation.

In the colonies, “Bulldogs” and “Alligators” rassle wit each other at 3:30. That is the investment vehicle of the day here.

My Beloved Pitt “Panthers,” dreams wrecked, play in Atlanta against Tech at 4. Last week took the soul out of me.
