Harriers Yes, Silkmen and Tractor Boys No

A quick look at FA Cup Third Round Replay results. One of the two Conference National teams has advanced.  Kidderminster (The Harriers - hey I thought harriers were cross country runners not footballers) beat Peterborough to move onto the Fourth Round.  The other, Macclesfield Town (The Silkmen), didn't make it, losing to Sheffield Wednesday (Wednesday being part of the team name, the match was held on Tuesday).  Ipswich (the Tractor Boys) also lost.  Hey how'd that replay work out for Blackburn?  Ooh, just as I feared.  The Rovers went down 5-0 to Man City at Etihad Stadium. Oh, and Sergio Aguero is back from injury to revive Man City's flagging (right) offense. Note to Arsenal fans, that's not just your shadow close behind you.

Kidderminster has drawn Sunderland for the fourth round so we have a 5th division squad taking on an EPL side, albeit a bad one.  Maybe Sunderland will rest some starters or be overconfident for the match and the Harriers make it to the sweet sixteen except that as far as I can tell, they don't use any descriptors like that for the FA Cup.


It's Always About the Hair

In this week's Men In Blazers podcast on Grantland, they suggested that Jennifer Lawrence's hair at the Golden Globes was a replica of an earlier Fernando Torres do.  Checking that out on Google now and we can see th- holy similitude Batman, it's a dead ringer.



Lawrence got another Golden Globe but Fernando does have four more goals than Jennifer this season.

Next week - planning a post on latest developments in what's been an active few weeks in the MLS off-season.
