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.
Isn't it usually the Europa League teams playing Thursday that get the Sunday fixture?

the conversation about the Blackpool fan boycott was interesting on Football Weekly this week
(I know, not EPL)
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?

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.
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.

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."

Also helps the EPL equivalent of Hue Jackson isn’t managing the team any more.

I missed the game too. Just saw the highlights. That Pogba pass to Rashford was a work of art.

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...

Is it weird that Traore isn't starting to try and exploit Danilo (assuming Danilo is on the left)?
Petr Cech hanging up his gloves, boots, and soft helmet (saw that collision live on TV with Hunt) at the end of this campaign. Intersting note---he is a triplet.

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.

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.

When asked “What would you be if you weren’t a footballer?” Crouch replied: “a virgin”
He certainly wouldn't have the wife he's got without football.

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.

A team with Hazard and Kante should not be losing like that. Just looked completely out of sorts.
