On Sunday afternoon I had to drive my mother into the city, drop her off, and then busy myself for about 90 minutes. In the world of the English Premier League, yesterday was “Grand Slam Sunday” with the 1st and 4th place teams facing off (Manchester United v. Liverpool) and the 2nd and 3rd teams [...]
