Good morning, TSFers. We’ve finally reached our thaw here in the D.C. area. It looks as if it’ll be smooth, above-freezing sailing for most of the rest of the month. Of course, that’s brought on by winds having pushed warmer ocean waters further north, which is an El Nino thing, and will result in a warmer-than-average February, says the Washington Post weather group. So that’s probably not great, but I’ll spare you too much of my local weather talk. It looks like those of you in the Northeast are getting
some snow. I’m sure that will be a welcome change from the usual snow you get this time of year.
There are four Premier League matches today:
Everton-Bournemouth, 2:30 pm ET
Tottenham-Newcastle, 2:30 pm ET
Chelsea-Leeds, 2:30 pm ET
West Ham-Manchester United, 3:15 pm ET
None of those are particularly relevant to Arsenal’s table finish, at least not without things going very wrong for the Gunners. That West Ham-United match is interesting to me — they’re two of the form teams in the Premier League at the moment. Plus every West Ham point potentially pushes Tottenham closer to the relegation places, which is very funny.
Other than Arsenal, what PL teams do you root for (when their results won’t affect the Gunners)? Are there any clubs outside of the usuals (Spurs, United, Newcastle, etc.) that you have a particular dislike for? What about in the rest of the football pyramid? Do any of y’all care about what Wrexham are doing?
