There, supposedly, is football on television this weekend that is NOT the North London Derby. That’s the rumor, anyway, but does it matter? Because all other potential football matches, real or fictional,
pale in comparison to the best and most intense rivalry in football. El Classico? Fuggedaboutit. The Old Firm? Get real. Manchester Derby? Pfft, whatever. Der Klassiker? More like der ASS-iker, amirite?
But I suppose because it’s the weekend I might as well provide a space for people to watch these obviously inferior football spectacles, because what else are you going to do? Clean the house? Lame.
This is your open thread.
