I watched the highlights and thought of you, and the other 26 fans. And it could have been worse if not for some good GK play...before the bad GK play.

Typical Spring youth soccer in Wisconsin - my son and I were wearing shorts yesterday doing some yardwork, sunny, high 60s. He reffed two games this morning when it was a bit colder, but a nice sunny day for soccer. His 4:00 game today was cancelled due to a snowstorm.

On Spring Break this week I watched Sunderland Til I Die while flying to Florida and back. Highly enjoyable and recommended. I had to google a bunch of stuff to see where everyone is now, including of course Jack Rodwell. This one is much better, much more interesting, than the Man City documentary, which I couldn't get into.

I watched that a bit ago as well. Good watch and interesting look into the manangement side of things. Amazing how much that rodwell signing hurt the team. Was disappointed not to see any good.

Yep, I hope they sell him - not because he’s not great, he is. But nows probably the time to pull the trigger if they get an offer. Romero can do the job and hopefully they can get rid of most of the back line.

This is interesting. A player in the USL this weekend was accused of using a racist statement against another player.
By the next morning his team tore up his contract and dismissed him from the team.
Here is his response to the situation.

The "other four" in the EPL are a combined 1-3-8 over the last three weeks of play.

I guess these four want to avoid Ajax next season and feel a potential winnable trophy makes Europa a better European Adventure?

Chelsea have 2 points from their last 3 league games, moving them up the table from 5th into 4th.

Here's a stat I looked up myself so don't trust it too much and also, but more importantly, here it is because there's no such thing as a jinx you stuperstitious mother MFers. Liverpool need 4 gols to win. Or 3 and PKs. All season Barça has only let in 3 gols twice all year. Betis and Villarreal (Legit top league teams. Not your EPL garbage). But I guess in Liverpool's favor both those times the opposition scored a 4th gol. So can EPLiverpool pull this off?
Here's to an Ajax-Barça final, you anglo centric ####s. Get your head out of the Queen's ##### already. We won.

Really good article in Slate of all places celebrating Xavi’s retirement.

It will be classic Europa League if they have two London clubs traveling to Azerbaijan for the final.
The expectation is that he is leaving. He has had a contract extension on the table for over a year now. Oddly enough, the issue is not really money - Real Madrid (and to a lesser extent Barcelona) has been his dream club all along, so he has been holding out on an offer. He'll have a year left on his deal this summer, so he'll either sign an extension, or he will leave.
Toby Alderweireld will also be leaving in all likelihood - he has a £25M release clause that can be activated this summer.
Levy is very happy with the state of the club's finances and has already promised Poch that he will spend at least 50% more this summer than last.

Breaking: @FXE_Futbol request for a preliminary injunction against @FTLCityNews / @InterMiamiCF to prevent demolition of Lockhart Stadium is DENIED. That means that Inter Miami may proceed with demolition to construct stadium for start of 2020 @MLS season

What's 50% of 0?

I think it would be funny if the two EPL teams that made a European Final had also spent the last month in a contest to see who could shoot their ##### off the most in the league.

Seems like we can't go even one week with out a strange VAR call. This one in the DC Columbus game is truly bizarre since the ref himself caused the issue.

yup, ugly as its been since maybe the mid 90's. The team is awful and Friedel seems out of his depth.
@Ned how is Aaronson? Not a good time to get hurt with U20 roster coming uop.

Ref is tangled up in it, but it's Trapp's right foot that's pinned against Acosta's left heel when he goes over. You can pause the vid and see it pretty clearly.
ETA: do agree that if the ref isn't there it doesn't happen that way.

At least the big Spurs' selloff will take away the distractions and free you up to concentrate on being a full-time Liverpool hater. Silver lining.Can't get anything buy you.

even though the face planting by these 4 teams has been entertaining, from a neutral stand point, if Arsenal, Man United and Chelsea all win today, it should set up a very interesting last match day.
NewlyRetired
Footballguy
well Man United clearly did not like my idea as they decided continued face planting was more fun.
If Arsenal don't get at least a draw later today, spots 3 and 4 are locked. And looking at GD, a point probably won't be enough so Arsenal really need all three points to put some pressure on Spurs and Chelsea.

No relegation battle for the EPL in the last week. All three teams going down are locked in now.

This is one of the craziest and funniest lines I've ever read. It's truly unbelievable.
It's one thing for one or two teams at the top to #### the bed. But all 4 teams (and big 6 teams at that) all flailing week after week when it counts? Remarkable.
