The Swamp

This is cool all around but the best part is hearing the away section explode in the background.

On that note...

Analysis of xG for the Premier League.

Congratulations, Shitty.

So now it's 2 from 3 to go down

It's really quite a disgrace that the Premier League doesn't do anything.

Nah, they’ll do a whole trophy presentation soon.

Brilliant!

(And a great film and book as well)

Allardyce mask fans!

Complete with matching slacks, white shirt, and tie.

Not even the Nuns could save Leeds

Congrats, Cerrano and Steve!

Took a half day and watched the match in the NUFC pub in NYC. What a ride this season has been and yesterday, despite it being shit football, was the cherry on top. HOWAY THE LADS!

Soo, of Leeds, Leicester, and Everton, two of three get relegated. Leeds and Leicester have to win on Sunday to have a chance (two points behind Everton). Leeds would also need losses by the other two, but Leicester only needs Everton to lose or tie (if Leicester wins). All three have winnable games I think, (Leeds hosts Spurs, Leicester hosts West Ham, and Everton hosts Bournemouth.)

Gotta say that I hope Leeds stays up.

And no sympathy for the Toffees - while not in City's league, their abuse of the financial fair play rules should doom them. But the foot dragging by the league could mean that any penalty would not be imposed until sometime next season.

Could start the season like Derby, with a 21 point deduction

While I'd rather that Leeds stays up, for the American players sake, Everton getting relegated will make Men In Blazers tough to listen to.

You’re reading my mind.

Leeds relegated, Americans bring them back up and in the process learn how to dominate. We win the 2026 World Cup and every one thereafter.

Good God - it's 2021 all over again.

Its like seeing a modern day example of Babe Ruth or something and in 50 years every team will have a full depth chart of Haalands (with shittier hair) up front and at CB.

Eventually my friends. So long as NBA ballers are spreading seed throughout the globe there will be one...

He was called up to the Morocco U23s in March 2023. Born in France, Richardson is eligible to represent France, Morocco, and for the United States at the international level."

Luton up 1-0, should be more.

If you have the chance, watch this game. First half was great and Coventry has woken up - should be a great 2nd half.

That's been coming, 1-1

Extra time

bad sub

ETA - handball no goal!

aw jeez dude

6-5 Luton Town. Great finish.

This will be interesting. Luton Town plays in a real utility closet of a stadium, makes Wrexham's stadium look like Wembley.

The Athletic had a good story on the subject. This tidbit tickled me:

… At least 50 media seats need to be in place, as well as a media conference room capable of hosting up to 70 people. Luton’s post-match press conferences are currently held in the Nick Owen Lounge, a popular bar area used by supporters before games and at half-time...

And, for any who don’t know, Luton Town’s goalkeeper is American, Ethan Horvath.

Should always include Xabi's goal when showing Kenilworth Rd
