Oz.....

' Oz the Great and Powerful ' ..... not a wizard or fake or the country
Yesterday , in his debut for Arsenal of London in the English Premier league . Mehut Ozil or  ' the Oz the Great and Powerful 'was flying.
The English have a predilection for nicknames and short forms
My prediction is that the Jolly Ole s won't be long in calling him , exactly that.
The Arsenal of London are the longest serving team in the top tier of English football. Their perennial place is in the top four of the standings. However , it has been at least ten years since they won a trophy in England.
Renowned for sometimes very slick passing ,they also have a reputation for forgetting the basics. The Gunners are often faced w/ tight defenses and lose their way quickly in such games. Unfortunately , not many teams want to play fast and loose with the Gunners. That is typically a losing formula b/c when the Arsenal are playing fast and loose - look out.

As well , my other team in red , Alabama continues undefeated.

I've been cheering for  both teams for 50 years or so.

Weather is cool and fall - like. For us  , it means cool nights , dry and crisp days. We'll get heavy rains soon.
