Buckets and buckets of rain dumping out the window on this early Saturday morning. Maple Pecan Coffee with a splash of cream to my right. The Gunners take on the Hammers in half an hour.
The lineup was released just a few minutes ago.

I love having EZE and Odegaard in the starting Midfield together. This is a strategy I have yet to see from Arteta. Rice at the CDM and having two attacking midfielders in front of him. Looking at this lineup, I see 3-0 by halftime and maybe a 4-0 final. With EZE and Odegaard both attacking and creating, this game should be wide-open.
At the end of the day, three points is three points. 4-0, 1-0 it’s all the same. Four-nils are just far more fun.

Fifth place Sunderland plays at 8 as well, so I’ll probably have them on the iPad as they take on Manchester United.
-It’ll be wet and cold all day here in the desert. The mountains are currently getting their first real snowfall of the season after the midweek dusting. This is the perfect fall day to watch football. Me, my better half, and the snoring furbeast nestled in the cozy drop-down-den watching round and oblong football–that’s where I’ll be.
The “General Update” will provide the results from these games, but feel free to watch them yourself. Kickoff is in less than 20 minutes.
Oblong kicks in just over two hours. This is going to be a fun day!
