Re: EPL 2022/2023
Hard to be mad at that result for Man U. Arsenal was constantly in the box and probably should have won by 3 goals. Still, things look like going in the right direction overall.
Hold on, I'm trying to see if Jack London ever gets this fire built or not.

Re: EPL 2022/2023
He's been my favorite player for 2 years now. I was watching the game with my parents. 30 seconds before his goal, I was explaining to my Mom that my daughter plays a very similar style as him, but he is a left-footed player on the right wing and my daughter is right footed and plays on the left. I explained that they like to take on a defender, cut inside and shoot with their dominant foot. 30 seconds later, "like what he just did there." I love when a player illustrates my point so clearly. From everything I've read and seen, he is just a special kid off the field, too. There was a great story about him after he missed the final PK in the Euro Finals. A neighbor posted a handwritten note of support, and Saka sent a handwritten note thanking the guy. It seems like he has very little ego and quietly works his ass off and isn't afraid of doing the dirty work defensively.DaveInSeattle wrote: ↑Sun Jan 22, 2023 12:45 pm Wow...
I think Saka is becoming my favorite non-Liverpool player in the EPL

Multiple second half goals from Fulham incoming.
Did you see that ludicrous display last night?
Re: EPL 2022/2023
If you want an indication as to how bad Son Heung Min has been this season, that was just his third assist, and he's playing next to Harry Kane who has scored 18 goals this season.

Have faith.
Hojbjerg woke up around the 20th minute.
And shockingly, that is as good as I've seen Emerson look in a Spurs uniform.

Re: EPL 2022/2023
I have to reiterate that these yellow-laden kits are very third-tier. Horrible.

Re: EPL 2022/2023
It's like a practice jersey. I have a lot of problems with the yellow socks too. It's like a junior high kid picking the colours for his FIFA team.

Read it again.
Wife is an Everonian and I’m afraid that if they get relegated and the club is sold for scrap, it will dampen her interest in the club which would suck because we’ve enjoyed jaunts to the city to catch Everton and NUFC games at Legends or Mr. Dennehe’s (when it was open). It would be devastating having the newest state-of-the-art stadium in the league while playing in the Championship.

And his one problem is he didn’t go to Russia that night because he had extracurricular activities, and they froze to death.

Re: EPL 2022/2023
I ain’t gonna say no to a rainy night in Stoke, but I’m not sure she’d get past the fact they won’t be playing on Saturday and Sunday every week. I told her I’m her guide for this sort of thing. It might have made things worse.Steve of phpBB wrote: ↑Tue Jan 24, 2023 9:34 pmRicher or poorer.

Re: EPL 2022/2023
Maybe a rainy night in Blackpool, when Everton plays them! You can take in the illuminations while you regale her with the tales of how that side became the swamp favorite!

Re: EPL 2022/2023
So the Toffees are officially for sale, and the price is north of £500 million? That seems incredibly cheap for a club with that much history, and good infrastructure.
Re: EPL 2022/2023
Did you know that in addition to the TV revenue that the EPL clubs receive, they are also given "prize money" based on where they finish in the table? I didn't...
EPL Prize Money Structure
2.2 million pounds for position. So at the moment, Arsenal would stand to earn an extra 44 million, while Southampton would get 2.2 million.

Yep. I assume that's in addition to the 2.2m per spot in the table.DaveInSeattle wrote: ↑Wed Jan 25, 2023 11:31 amDon't the relegated teams also get a "parachute payment" when they go go down?

Current numbers...DaveInSeattle wrote: ↑Wed Jan 25, 2023 11:31 amDon't the relegated teams also get a "parachute payment" when they go go down?
Each club receives 55 percent of the amount that each Premier League team would collect under an equal share of broadcast revenue, reduced to 45 percent in the second year and 20 percent the year after that.
Based on the recent figures, that is said to be worth around £40m ($50m) in the first year, £35m ($43.7m) in the second and £15m ($18.7m) in the third.

Could probably go in the USMNT thread, too...
I'm seeing "breaking news" that McKinnie is headed to Leeds.
Jesse needs to keep that team out of the drop zone, man.

Sounds pretty great. Seems like he fits too. Bigger physical pressure type mid. Not sure who else they have but I'll be watching

Marsh has said he wants to the USMNT coach at some point....did not say which games he would coach those games or what jersey the team would wear.
Re: EPL 2022/2023
Everton selling Gordon is weird, right? Seems more like contingency planning for if they get relegated versus trying to avoid getting relegated?
Re: EPL 2022/2023
He's one of those players who (IMO) gets hyped up and then sold for a ton of money, but who in fact isn't very good.
I could be wrong of course, but lets call it the "Ross Barkley Effect"

Re: EPL 2022/2023
one is a near perfect fit, the other a disastrous fit. Guess which one they'll take?
Re: EPL 2022/2023
This makes sense. For clubs at that level I'm still at "I've heard of him so he must either be or have been good" and Gordon is too young to already be declined.
Also, don't think I mentioned, but I'm a mere one degree of separation from Everton's director of football (soccer) and may have already met him. One of my youngest's best friends (and the first family we met in town) is british and the wives are BFFs. I think he was at RBNJ before heading back to England to take the Everton job.
Re: EPL 2022/2023
Tell him you’re available if he needs a director of finance-slash-north american scout.

Re: EPL 2022/2023
I know he's been unhappy but still pretty surprised to see Cancelo to Bayern. Not exactly a position of depth right now, unless they're going to trigger the buy option on Porro?

there was a rumor out there they had placed a bid on robinson, but seemed like it wasn't serious enough to get anything done today

I saw that too but figured it was one of those guess/clickbait rumors. I don't think he'd be good with Pep or that Pep would be good for his career.

Re: EPL 2022/2023
I'm thinking this was expedited as Partey was injured on Friday and Lokonga was a complete disaster filling in. Odegaard was jumping up and down frantically screaming at Lokonga for being out of position and eventually committed a foul out of anger and to stop play to scream at Lokonga. And the goal came from Lokonga continually being out of position.Baloney wrote: ↑Tue Jan 31, 2023 10:04 am Did not see this one coming, Jorginho from Chelsea to Arsenal
