In Brief - This Sunday has all the makings of an entirely incredible sports day. 

(Do not tell me any results.  I am imposing an international sports blackout tonight.)

Here's what's on offer:

10 AM - Manchester United vs Manchester City - (or to borrow a phrase, The Forces of Darkness versus The Forces of Evil) any way you cut it, an exciting anticipated match.

12 PM - Houston Texas versus Tennessee Titans (or The Forces of Good versus The Faces of Methopotamia)

2 PM (And don't freaking tell me.) New Zealand All Blacks versus France (Les Blues) - (This doesn't need recasting, as its New Zealand versus France which is fairly obvious)

 I'll be watching from the Richmond Arms (possibly in an All Blacks shirt and Texans hat) and arriving as early as I can.

And now some extra words.  How are you today? Feeling fine?   Nice weather we're having.
