A League of Their Own

Liverpool routed second-place Lester 4-0 today--at Lester! They are now thirteen points top of the league on Boxing Day! My goodness.

Boxing Day is the day in the Premier League, not for City of course, they play at Wolves tomorrow. ManU continued their schizophrenia at RayJay with a 4-1 win over the Prisoners. Swine Chelsea lost in London 2-0 to Southie. Chelsea is fourth in the table; Southampton fourteenth. Mou's Spurs beat Brighton 2-1 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Spurs are fifth, Brighton fifteenth. And Bournemouth, sixteenth, drew with eleventh-place Arsenal 1-1 in the Martini Glass. Two draws to start Mikel Artega's stint at Emirates.

The difference between Liverpool and Arsenal is in their owners. John Henry brought a World Series championship to Boston "Red Sox" for the first time in eighty-six years in 2004 and has done it three more times since. Now, he will deliver Liverpool its first ever Premier League title and their first in the top flight since 1990. Stan Kroenke brought the NFL back to the only city in America that doesn't want it and sunk $5 billion in a big hole-in-the-ground.
