Isn't it usually the Europa League teams playing Thursday that get the Sunday fixture?govmentchedda wrote: ↑Tue Jan 08, 2019 10:12 am Friend reminded me that Liverpool will be at Bayern the Wednesday prior to the matchweek v. Fulham. That will probably push our match to Sunday, I'd think. Maybe we'll get in 2 games that weekend.

Re: 2018-2019 EPL Season
I watched highlights from the clip, and I was surprised at the empty stadium. What's the deal with the boycott? I know the ownership fucked over the club years ago, but I haven't read anything in 3 years. Is this something new?Brontoburglar wrote: ↑Tue Jan 08, 2019 1:08 pm the conversation about the Blackpool fan boycott was interesting on Football Weekly this week

They are still fucking things over. I follow a few Blackpool fan-related people on Twitter, and the passionate white-hot hatred they have for the Oystons is something to behold.The Sybian wrote: ↑Tue Jan 08, 2019 3:58 pmI watched highlights from the clip, and I was surprised at the empty stadium.

Very entertaining game. Sublime goal (and assist) just before the half, and de Gea, de Gea, de Gea, de Gea, de Gea, de Gea, de Gea, de Gea, de Gea, de Gea, de Gea.

Re: 2018-2019 EPL Season
The Two Robbies were fidgeting with excitement in their seats at halftime, (just after the Rashford goal). It feels like discovering old video, showing it to all of your friends who are recent converts to the EPL and saying, "That's what it was like when Sir Alex managed the team."

de Gea is amazing at stopping shots with his feet. He single handedly won that game, but I only saw the second half.

The free kick he just grabbed diving to his right was pretty. Very fun game to watch overall. Will be interesting to see what happens to Spurs in the next few weeks with Son going back to Asia and Kane hobbling off the field.

Had a family function. It was truly wonderful.
Which means that I didn;t get to see the game - or worse, Harry Kane getting hurt.
I'm going to do some shots...

That pitch was a mess. It didn't look horrible, but the snow/hail/sleet whatever was slowing the ball down big time.

Or ManU tying Burnley, or City losing to Newcastle, or Liverpool tying Leicester... Great round for Arsenal and Spurs.

Re: 2018-2019 EPL Season
Excuse my language, but what a fucking gut-check of a win for Spurs.
Llorente missed a sitter early and a great chance from 2 feet out in the 2nd half, but his winner was a thing of beauty.

Re: 2018-2019 EPL Season
Just stunning how Chelsea has crumbled in the past few weeks. I'm not at all a fan of constantly firing managers and bringing in new systems - I think that's a big part of why this team has become so dysfunctional. But, man. A team with that level of talent simply can't play like that. Sarri needs to have some answers. In any sport, it's fine to have a system, but you have to figure out ways to have flexibility within those parameters and modify things (at least a bit) to fit your talent.
