Bill goes solo this week as pesky things like work get in the way of scheduling.

He drops a love letter to North Carolina, where he grew up and its centrality to his love of Newcastle United. And he wonders out loud if the sports media has figured out to whom Manchester City dropped points, since none of them seemed to know.
