With apologies to Wallace Stevens and Roberto Di Matteo. That strange power, football, Is just what you say. Have it your way. The world is ugly, And the cules are sad. That murmuration of starlings, That wind in the grass, Is just what you say. That geometry of flux, That vine, Have it your way. The world is ugly, And the cules are sad.

Officially committed to Yale.
Clicking that button was one of the more frightening things I’ve done in my life, but it’s finished, and I’ll be spending the next four years in at a college that I love.
I hate to seem like I’m getting up on my high-and-mighty, I’m-so-experienced pulpit, but a few words of advice for people who’ll be going through this...

The bad stuff:
LFC’s entire season. Today’s loss was just a summary of all of ‘11-‘12: dominating possession, playing well for part of the game, having chance after chance but failing to convert, conceding after a stupid defensive error, another loss/draw at Anfield to a weak side.
But I am so grateful to Dalglish for this statement: “It doesn’t matter...
Madrid wholly deserved the win, so I can’t be too angry about that. Fairly clean game all around, great discipline in defense, and a fantastic winner from Ronaldo.
Barca just look so…lethargic. Out of sync. Maybe it’s fatigue—it’s been a long season, and the loss at Chelsea on Wednesday didn’t help—but the energy simply wasn’t there tonight....
