Do you remember the little white hatchback we used to have? One winter we kept getting stuck in the snow, and though we finally made it on to the street that we lived on, we got stuck a half mile from our house. Having had enough, you jumped out of the car and said “This is just too embarrassing! I’m going to walk home.”

This story was followed up by another about a ski trip to Colorado in the very same car where I, a kindergartner remember, was sent in to hotels, more likely motels, along the route to check us in because if the car was turned off it wouldn’t start again until morning. Strangely it wasn’t until our way home that someone questioned the logic of letting a 4 year old check in to a hotel for the night and sent me back outside sans room keys.

brb, calling therapist.

League Champions

QPR got a lucky late winner last week from Djibril Cisse to give them hope of being saved from relegation. To stay up, however, they’re going to have to get a little help from Stoke, because this week they face Manchester City who only needs to win to basically guaranty themselves the title.

Manchester United is playing a mid table Sunderland team that only had to pride to play for. Pride may come in to play because in order to win the title, if Man City wins, Man U needs to win by at least 8 more goals than Man City beats QPR.

3rd Place

Arsenal only needs to win to guaranty themselves a spot in the Champions League no matter what Chelsea and Bayern Munich happen to do on May 19th. Sadly they haven’t won this season without Arteta in the lineup, and unless RVP and company pull their collective heads out of their asses that’s not going to change. Luckily, I think the lure of the champions league and the hope of keeping Robin on the team for another season with new signing Podolski to see what sort of damage they can do is just enough to make it happen.

4th Place

Tottenham looked like they might actually have 3rd, or even 2nd, locked up, until, in one of the best games of the season, Arsenal came from two behind in the first half to beat them 5-2. That started a string of losses and dropped points that let both Arsenal and Newcastle back in to the race. Newcastle, on the other hand, has won seven of their last nine and had they not shit the bed against Wigan a few weeks ago they’d be in the driver’s seat instead of Arsenal.

Sadly for Newcastle, they have the toughest opponent of the three teams vying for the last two spots.
