Shatsume

I like that. Nice.

Possibly the best day 1 I have seen since returning to watching sumo 4 years ago. Should be a good one!

Gratz Sakura, well deserved.

The way that 2020 is going, it would only slightly surprise me if Abi got a zensho yusho. Joking, obvs.

But we want the yusho!! (I'll be ecstatic with an 8-7...)

Yeah, I think I got 36 points. Truly terrible.

An insane amount of Shōchū consumed on this occasion...

They are very cute I fully intend to get chickens when I move in the hopefully near future. We were looking at Welsummers, but these are now totally on the list of possibilities!

Cool. What kind of chickens are they?

I reckon Nishkigi even gets the nod to stay up at the expense of Hoshoryu. They'll put Hoshoryu at J1e so that he has to prove he's worthy, but only has to get the bare minimum KK to do so. That's what's going on my gtb entry anyway

Without checking, I think it's semi final, final, but I'm sure others more knowledgeable (or less lazy) could confirm.

So, if Asanoyama, Mitakeumi and Shodai win on day 14 and they do Asa vs Shodai and Mita vs Teru on day 15... 4 way playoff anyone??

Nobody think possible hair pull by Takakeisho today? Or just a little entanglement of fingers in hair?

This is exactly what I was doing when I 'popped' my knee doing warm up for a cricket match 20 years ago, hasn't been the same since. *shudder*

Kotoshogiku may think differently about the twisted and evil bit

I don't think I can commit at the moment, but I will let you know if that changes.

Cheers, much appreciated

Er, yeah, not paying attention apparently Messaged Kintamayama to see if he can make it right!! or do I need to resubmit?

My page opened at the bottom of the page so I saw the last picture first, my brain thought 'cool, a rikishi with a half body tattoo' before my brain slapped itself...

Yushos for Tokoshoryu, hokutofuji, hakuho x2 , takakeisho, asanoyama. In that order.

Your alternative ranking system is coming together nicely: Xnjnytmz Yokozuna Ozeki Fauxzeki What comes next??

Thank you

Be stunned sir
