Hard not to feel sorry for Roberts and his dyspeptic Catholic justices. They've been hard at work trying to figure out how to avoid punishing Trump for his unilateral and unconstitutional tariff policy. But they've survived other seemingly impossible tasks before and prospered.

The annoying thing with so many Prem teams in the top eight as well as them not being lumbered with extra games, is we're bound to draw one of them as it goes on. Not sure I can stomach going out to any of them.
