No. London Derby (you know how that’s properly pronounced, right? DAHR-bee!) early this morning (PST), and it ended in a draw, 1-all. The Arse had a massive chance to claim the victory late-on, however; massive. But our frequent hero, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, somehow contrived to miss more than once in this sequence. Thanks, Obama! Thanks, Aubameyang!
Arse still within touching distance of the Top 4 and the associated Champions League placings, though. The run-in will be interesting for that, like the final furlong of a turf race. And we still have to settle the title between Liverpuddle and Man City. You can hear Trevor Denman calling ’em down the stretch, ‘…neither one giving an inch…’ etc.

We were bamboozled by the allure of Santa Anita yesterday — bamboozled! BamBOOzled! Races 1, 2, 4, 6, 8 were the chosen five. Seven overlays, not much running among them. No mazel on the afternoon. A real Aubameyang sitch. Thanks, Obama! Thanks, Aubameyang!
