I'd have to be rich to get in, and I don't live in the city.

Life must be so much simpler in England.

I live, in Oregon, as far away from PDX as teams--thought to be distant--are separated in the EPL.

FFS the Beavs and the Ducks are as far as distant rivalries are considered in the EPL.

And, there are no seats available in 'Jeld-Wen.'

So I can watch that on TV--If I can find it,

Or I can watch Man City on TV--or on my computer--and watch players a step above. (Nevermind the fookin' Derby tomorrow!!)

C'mon City.
