Great start in the Championship for both the Seagulls and the Saints' Lets hope they can keep up the south coast rivalry at the top eh Paul?
Not so good a start for the Cherries in League 1. Mitchell out, Jim?
Spurs, same as ever.
Well worth watching his on pitch rant on youtube. Has gone nuts.
Yes, I saw that on Youtube, was going to ask you what it was really all about.
I know you've sold a lot of players without spending much lately, is that the whole issue?
And why is someone in the video chanting 'We'll never watch the scummers'? Who exactly is suggesting that they do watch us scummers?

In short, prior to that incident he sold all our players, didn't replace any of them (or most of them), then at a fans forum told our seething fans that if they don't like it they should go and support Southampton. Not good PR!
Arsenal for the quadruple.
SO.
FUCKING.
OBVIOUS.
A tough, gritty win over first-place Corinthians has Fluminense in 5th, and thirsty to repeat last year's triumph...
And this little argentine dude is exciting. He relpaces our other Argentine dude, who went to China to become the 3rd highest paid player in the world...
And that's your report from the Brasileirão.
Cherries picked up our first win in six last night, and our first win at L.Orient since 1948!
We are back!
Mansun - If by "quadruple" you mean that they have a small chance at getting fourth, then yes, maybe.
So, what premier league team should I adopt? Any spirited overachievers with a rich history who aren't constantly being relegated?

I think you have just described Stoke. Or Fulham. Kind of depends your timescales.
Would be quite good fun to randomly pick Stoke though. About as unglamorous as it gets. Mort could pick you up a shirt and everything.

Stoke--as in "Stoke on Trent"? That would seem to mesh well with my Malkmus fandom. What colors do they where? I'm really partial to dark greens.
On a similar note, how are Crystal Palace faring these days?

That's the very Stoke. Where does he reference Stoke? My mind is drawing a blank.
Red and white I'm afraid. Unfortunately we don't have much green, in fact none in the Premiership (?). Plymouth are green, Yeovil play in Celtic-like green hoops, and after that i am drawing a bit of a blank. Someone with better knowledge could probably come up with a few teams in green away, or even third kits.

They nearly went bust, but didn't get relegated, but that is where my knowledge stalls. I would say - not brilliantly.

Stoke-on-Trent--"Pink India" off the first solo effort. One of my favorite loopy Malk jams/progressions at the end of that tune, so it seems I'm destined to be a Stokian from here forward. Anything in particular I need to know/teams I need to hate? (besides ManU). Particular lagers I'm supposed to drink?

You will be a strictly Slater's Top Totty drinker from now on!
Their nickname is The Potters, although i've never bothered to think why that is. Do Stokie's tend to potter about most of the time? I imagine Mort likes to potter. Or do they more likely do a lot of pottery there? My knowledge of Bristish history is that shite, yes.
Rory Delap is your secret weapon.

Oh yeah, Shawcross!!! Forgot about that.
Which is strange considering if you've seen it, it's one of those things you can;t wipe from your memory. Ever.

It's because that part of the world is famous for pottery, surely, and isn't thwhole area referred to as "the Potteries"?
Rory Delap is the opposite of the secret weapon. You know how when someone reviews an SM record they always, by lawm have to say "former Pavement frontman SM..." Well, it is impossible to talk about Rory Delap without mention his long, piggin, throw.
Anyway, the most important thing to do when someone has picked a team randomly is immediately talk to them like a mega-fan. So here we go:
Polka! Great result against Liverpool. Bet Crouchy loved that. Robbie Williams is a shitbox though, right? Yeah.

You're right. Lethal weapon would be more apt. Or is that Shawcross?!!

Fucking Robbie Williams...
(Are we talking about the "musician/entertainer" Robbie Williams of Take That fame? 'Cause now I have that damned "Millennium" song stuck in my head. Better than "Rock DJ" though. Fuck! Now "Rock DJ" is stuck in my head! Bastard! If there is a Robbie Williams affiliated with Stoke, I might have to rethink this whole arrangement. I can only take so much of Robbie Williams' music streaming through my head, and any reference to any Robbie Williams is bound to set one off.)

Interesting Stoke-fact. Home to the only team in the UK league (a point you could argue about) not named after a place - Port Vale. Who Robbie Williams supports (and occasionally propos up financially). I assume Stoke fans don't like him as a result.

It's actually kind of cool that he supports a middling club and puts his $$ behind them. Grudging respect here.

He's only copying Phil 'The Power' Taylor, who was putting 'about a grand' into the youth team way back in '03:
Speaking of darts, Ted 'The Count' Hankey is a fellow Stoke City fan, Polk.
