Akōgyokuseki

As always mbovo thanks for all the hard work you do

Please direct all queries, reactions and comments (including is it Abi or not) to @Amamaniac for this one. Thank you 

Day 15 I'll have Takage...no, wait... .....Takanosho! (Because he's against Akiseyama) Been great playing with you all...

Tomorrow Enho faces Shohozan. Can someone please ring the Port of Tyne Authority and warn them there may be a flood... The taping today around his thigh will do nothing if it really is a hamstring injury. Taking Shimanoumi head on earlier may not have been the best tactic (can't fault his fighting spirit) , I fear he's only making things worse however...

Nikkan has a little bit of info about Enho's injury (sort of). When asked in the shitaku-beya about the location of the pain he replied he didn't know the exact specific location..its just hurts from his thigh to his shin. He experienced something 'pull' or 'stretch' whilst he was trying to attempt a throw (sounds like a hamstring injury?)https://www.nikkansports.com/m/battle/sumo/news/201905240000961_m.html?mode=all

The drinks are on me folks!....

What a day!..if it wasn't so early in the uk, I'd pour myself a large one If Ichiyamamoto doesn't feature in the kanto seishin rikishi then I'm finding a pub come dinner time...

Could I borrow that for a second?... Akiseyama's henka today against poor Mitoryu.. And speaking of such..enter Aminishiki..Japan Sumo channel

As always sir, I bow to you

And he's partial to the odd bowl of お茶漬け ochazuke

Takayasu has been suffering from back injuries pre basho and he took time out of the first half of the haru jungyo to try to rehabilitate it. So it's definitely not unreasonable to suggest he's perhaps still dealing with some residual pain.

Should Enho ever use mitokorozeme (三所攻め) it's safe to say my heart would probably stop. I hope he gets that Gino-sho and many more in the years to come, we need a new waza no depaato!. Saying that Terutsuyoshi's awesome okurigake today would have shown Mainoumi up (glad they rechanged the kimarite on that one)

Nikkan are speculating also... doesn't look good. https://www.nikkansports.com/m/battle/sumo/news/201905190001500_m.html?mode=all

Day 9, the crystal ball says.... Kiribayama!
