All to play for.

If there isn’t a flower shop in Nottingham called Nottingham Florist, then shame on them.

Told a friend to take Liverpool at +300 in the 88th minute because they’d either score quick “or get +9 minutes” added on. Guess when Nunez scored.

This one has been far better than I expected, esp with Luton having played midweek.

mister d · Post by **mister d** » Sun Mar 03, 2024 11:21 am

I assume they’ll start the 2nd half 1-1 after VAR shows Haaland somehow broke the net or physics or something.

Good Lord. Sheffield should just get relegated right now. And I mean during halftime.

Sheffield on pace to break the premier league record with 101 goals conceded.

I'm sure a lot of this is unavoidable (and don't even know the rules for a match getting moved) but from February 10th to March 10th City is going Saturday -> midweek CL -> Saturday -> midweek -> Saturday -> midweek FA -> Sunday derby -> midweek CL -> Liverpool. That seems like way too much.

That's a shame. And also why repeat trebles are hard as hell. They're playing at least those matches, and if they advance in the FA Cup they'll play even more midweek games.

That's why Arsenal tanked the FA Cup and Carabao. Arteta's genius.

IIRC, Saturday games only get moved to Sunday if a team is playing on Thursday

If City is up a goal heading into stoppage time, they add a bullshit 8 minutes and then Liverpool scores in the 10th, I will burn down Fenway Park.

Baloney · Post by **Baloney** » Sun Mar 10, 2024 11:18 am

Foden is wasted playing in Jack Grealsh spot way on the right.

mister d · Post by **mister d** » Sun Mar 10, 2024 11:26 am

And it sucks because this is a perfect match for Grealish.

mister d · Post by **mister d** » Sun Mar 10, 2024 11:32 am

And related, Alvarez has had a miserable half.

rass · Post by **rass** » Sun Mar 10, 2024 11:59 am

Well you’re gonna get your 8+ minutes of stoppage time at least.

mister d · Post by **mister d** » Sun Mar 10, 2024 12:09 pm

Need a timeout.

Rex · Post by **Rex** » Sun Mar 10, 2024 1:47 pm

Sure looked like a penalty to me, but what do I know

govmentchedda · Post by **govmentchedda** » Sun Mar 10, 2024 2:15 pm

Definitely a penalty.

Tottenham fans had a stress free day as Spurs tore Villa to shreds today.

Any team that features filthy Matty Cash and that asshole keeper Martinez is already a bit gross, but check out Captain John McGinn's butchering of Destiny Udogie. Fuck that team.

It wasn't until checking the results of that game that I realized that Timo Werner had been loaned to Tottenham. He was surprisingly well-liked by Chelsea fans despite his maddening inability to score (at least when onside).

I had already accepted VAR would call it and was taking solace it was going to fulfill the prophecy (except for Liverpool being down a goal).

Is this the space to talk about how badly Chelsea used Pulisic? Because he's doing GREAT with AC Milan.

He was great at Chelsea for a brief spell. Arguably the best player in the EPL coming out of COVID.

Aye. And still. Mothballed. Anyway, happy for him that he's having the season he is.

It's been a lot of fun to watch, and way more fun seeing him succeed in red and black than blue.

Oooooof....poor Luton.

(up 3-0 at halftime....end up losing 4-3 to Bournemouth)

FFP remains bullshit. Everton, Forest and City should form a partnership to fight this old money protectionism nonsense.

Man United pretty lucky to get a point today.

Back to the Top Of The Table! For the next couple of hours at least.

Going to be weird next season without Klopp managing Liverpool.

The Sybian · Post by **The Sybian** » Sun Mar 31, 2024 5:45 pm

Feeling lucky to walk out of the Etihad with a point. Do weird seeing Arsenal sit behind the ball and give up almost 75% possession. Terrifying, and I feel like they played not to lose, which is a bad sign for the title race imo.

Not sure if they've done this before and I've missed it (or posted here and forgotten, Rass), but this is cool:

A_B · Post by **A_B** » Wed Apr 03, 2024 2:11 pm

The NC State player Diarra had same issue. They take him out as close to sunset as possible if he isn't out and give him fluids and whatnot.

Didn't have that luxury on Sunday as game was over before sundown.

There have been a few writeups this weekend about this procedure. It's fantastic that they do this.

Classic Chelsea. No lead is safe.

DaveInSeattle · Post by **DaveInSeattle** » Thu Apr 04, 2024 3:18 pm

Alexis Mac Allister might just be the signing of the season. He's bailed out Liverpool multiple times this season.
