Man City this Sunday
So, people keep asking when I'll get to a football match, and the answer is this Sunday. Manchester City vs Everton. It's comparable to Mets or White Sox (Man City) vs Tampa Bay or Kansas City. Not exactly a barnburner, but it should be a blast either way.
Manchester City is really the local's team, and Man United is the rich people and tourist club. It's like being given the choice to root for your hometown boys or being a Yankee fan because they have Alex Rodriguez. I may get to a United game just for the fun of it, but being a sports masochist, I of course have to follow the lesser team.
Some links are to the side if you feel the desire to learn a little about the world's most popular sports league.
Unrelated....I don't know if I'm a genius for figuring it out or an idiot for it taking me so long, but I figured out how to listen to some US radio in the greatest pennant race in the last 10 years. I can grab the KJR stream off the internet, record it using Replay Music and then stick it on my ipod. So I'm recording the morning show now, which I'll listen to tomorrow morning, which is really not that long from now. Also, god bless all the American companies like espn.com that utilize Podcasting. Pretty clever if you ask me. Download the news and take it with you. Media companies take note - you should do this because you can stick ads in teh middle and people are too busy walking to skip through them.
Look for a football match report and pics later this weekend. Cheers.
