This has been the most interminable international break. Not only does it feel ridiculous — an October break after we just had one in September? — but also, gosh dang it I just wanted to watch Ange-Ball again! It’s something, isn’t it? After three seasons where I low-key thought about whether there were much more interesting hobbies I could take up like dog grooming or macrame, suddenly this big Aussie guy shows up and I’m invested again. Which brings me back to international breaks — don’t they just suck? They sure do.
Anyway, there are some juicy games on today. A Merseyside Derby? You betcha. Pep versus the person who could conceivably replace him? Yeppers. Chelsea vs. Arsenal? Oh baby.
