Is it just me or does Luton play on a particularly tiny pitch?

The camera angle does it no favors and it's on the smaller end of the sizes in the Premier League, but not awfully so.

Roughly the same size as Craven Cottage.

That link says premier League allows 90-120m long and 45 - 90m wide. They're not trying hard enough. Seems like some promoted clubs would try to get an edge

Without watching and knowing if there was a ton of stall tactics, Arsenal scoring 7 minutes into the 6 minute extra time is just lovely.

I just watched. It was fine. Redacted.

Erling should have been more pissed about those sitters he rocketed into the stands.

Fantastic until he insulted Men’s soccer in the US. I had a glimmer of hope he was paying respect to the future of USMNT, but no, he was talking about Messi.

Depending on how you choose to define primary position, City don't have a true midfielder in their starting XI. Wish I could give Kalvin Phillips a hug.

Pruitt IV · Post by **Pruitt IV** » Wed Dec 06, 2023 5:19 pm

How long before Pep complains that City needs to buy a slew of those missing midfielders?

govmentchedda · Post by **govmentchedda** » Wed Dec 06, 2023 5:27 pm

United are only 3 points back of City.

I think he knows we can’t afford to spend like the Chelseas and Arsenals of the league.

i've never rooted for a soccer team in my life that has played a game like that today. so that's what it's like - fk that was fun. Could (should) have had more than 1 but 1 was enough.

mister d · Post by **mister d** » Wed Dec 06, 2023 7:12 pm

Yeah, this is the opposite of Tottenham. Villa absolutely deserved all 3 today and the worst I’ve seen City look in a really long time.

The first 20 minutes of Spurs/West Ham have looked like a hockey power play.

Cole Palmer has taken over the title of "Most English looking guy"...displacing Anthony Gordon at the top of the rankings.

Son had his defender trippiering over his own feetiers.

If Forest could play to the level of its fans, they'd be in Europe every year.

That makes sense to you and me. But, to an athlete in his prime who is able to command a big salary... It will probably be hard for him to walk away if they clear him to play again fairly soon.

Maybe Everton should have a points deduction every season.

Man Utd playing with a retro red devil shirt badge, except the keeper who has the usual badge. Never seen two different badges on a team before. Guess the budget didn't run that far.

That was brutal.

Chelsea one-upped that by blowing a 3-on-none. (does the goalie count in that math?)

Baloney · Post by **Baloney** » Wed Dec 27, 2023 2:57 pm

3 goals in 3 minutes at Brentford

mister d · Post by **mister d** » Wed Dec 27, 2023 5:18 pm

Feels like every Everton and England defender should have been allowed to line up and scream at Pickford after the 3rd goal.

DaveInSeattle · Post by **DaveInSeattle** » Sun Dec 31, 2023 10:18 am

The pelting rain/hail in the Bournemouth/Spurs game looks painful.
