That's it for me. The Rambling Man (Keep wearing the mask...) 09:02, 27 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Ref 10, ref 42, ref 58 etc: NYT is sub only for me.

 * Weird, I just checked again and it says I hit my limit of free articles and can't see any part of any NYT article without paying. The Rambling Man (Keep wearing the mask...) 11:59, 27 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Oh well, who knows then. I've added  which should cover it both ways.  &mdash; Amakuru (talk) 12:05, 27 October 2021 (UTC)

Err, this edit added a glaring factual error in the lead section about the manager of one of the two teams, so y'all might want to actually proofread this if it's supposed to be a good article. :D --Joy &#91;shallot&#93; (talk) 19:28, 16 November 2021 (UTC)
