Dude, don't get a Dell. Saturday morning was primed to be a bellwether test of trying to
successfully cycle three different concurrently airing Premier League matches. Instead, it quickly
morphed into an exercise in erring when my laptop wouldn't turn on. So goodbye Manchester
City/Arsenal via my Setanta-I subscription.

Sorry for the cop-out this weekend, which is the best slate of games the Premier League has to
offer so far. I just wrote what felt like a 5,000 word preview for my paying gig and my brain feels

Maybe you know this, maybe you don't but 95 percent of the time I have to work Friday nights. This

HD, why not read a great take on Liverpool by the one, the only Ace Cowboy. And while you're at it,
check out his Twitter. (Should I be on Twitter, at least on match day? Speaking of Twitter, Jozy
