This

So it means "super ho"?

 

[Slapdash]

What happened to Newly Retired? He knows that WCQ ended last year, right?

He got tired of people ####ting on the MLS probably

Liverpool really need two up top....They play so much better that way. Bolo needs a partner

Terrible performance...terrible subs, too.

What a goal by Oscar

 

[Dinsy Ejotuz]

Uh, Oscar...wow.

 

[The Gator]

Ronaldo

 

[Dinsy Ejotuz]

Uh, James... wow.

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

Uh, James... wow.

I think my favorite part of that goal is that Ronaldo looks completely unimpressed. He doesn't even raise his arms when it goes in or go over to celebrate with James. He's just like, "lucky shot."

For me it was that James looked like my three year old trick or treating last night -- just pure, uncut joy. Nice to see.

Alexis Sanchez is a legend

Alexis Sanchez is a legend

He's incredible. He defines work rate. Really, really fun to watch.

 

[T Bell]

This is really cool: visual history of soccer tactics.

 

[T Bell]

Rangers and Celtic have been drawn together in the Scottish League cup, so we'll have an Old Firm match for the first time since April 2012.

I'd figure that this is going to be a ####### war.

Missing the 4-2-3-1

 

[Sebowski]

Alexis Sanchez is a legend

He's incredible. He defines work rate. Really, really fun to watch.

He has a case to be league MVP. With Costa missing time and Chelsea not missing a beat, I think the MVP is Sanchez or Fabergas.

Also seems to be missing the United 3-5-2 from this year. Pretty big oversight if you ask me.

 

[Sinn Fein]

Player banned 50 years.

Ferreira will be free to return to footballing activity on 5 June 2064, by which time he will be 78.

Now I know why Joe is spending less time on the boards - tough being the commissioner of a 4th tier Swiss League.

Bit of a #### imo.

For me, Hazard is Chelsea POY so far, not sure about the league. I don't think it's close.

So where will Liverpool end up?

So frustrating. Last year already seems like an unbelievable dream.

Interesting because whenever I've seen Chelsea, Fabregas looks instrumental in every good thing they do but I don't watch every match.

 

[El Floppo]

andy?

Charlie Davies scored twice to lead the Revs to a first round, first leg playoff win over Columbus.

US attack never looked as good as it did with Davies running next to Jozy. Good to hear he's coming back into form.

they've both been fantastic.

I missed the Barça game. What happened?

4th

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

So where will Liverpool end up?

They picked the wrong soccer player chilling with Usain Bolt in the jacuzzi. Should have signed Marta.

 

[Texas Football]

I'm calling it now that Chelsea goes undefeated through the Prem. Fantastic squad and The Special One know how to do these things. Hate the #### out of Chelsea and their plastic fans, but the league is done this year.

Ipswich looking good. Two players you will see in the Prem next year are Mings and McGoldrick. At Ipswich or Sunderland type teams.

Liverpool... Rodgers needs to pull his head out of his ###. Two strikers from the first whistle. Everyone sees the defense is shambles. Skrtel and Lovrens = ####. Mario solo = ####.

Put in Toure and Lovren(Ilori, Flanigan, Coates my left ball, etc.). Borini and Mario. Rest Sterling one game at least. Bench Gerrard for once(he is old and a shadow currently).

I am seriously thinking the best thing is Liverpool loses and drops to Europa and then spends every effort to win that. Europa winner gets CL next year.

Top 4 is still doable but not without Studge. And that cat can't go a month without tearing something.

 

[The Z Machine]

4th or even 3rd is still achievable for Liverpool, although they are really making it hard on themselves. If United can get a draw today, that will say a lot about their viability as the 4th place team.

 

[The Z Machine]

Sevilla currently losing 1-0 at Athletic Bilbao. Similar situation to Liverpool yesterday inasmuch as a trip to a historically good team that plays well at home, although Sevilla is better placed.

 

[AAABatteries]

United started well but City came alive the last few minutes. Rooney has given the ball away several times - needs to calm down.

 

[AAABatteries]

I see no way this happens - too many quality teams for that. They right now seem good for the league but things can change quickly.

 

[AAABatteries]

Just a stupid challenge - ####

 

[T Bell]

Just a stupid challenge - ####

Terrible challenge even if you're not on a booking already.

 

[Dinsy Ejotuz]

Smalling with the red card for overwhelming stupidity.

 

[AAABatteries]

Smalling basically screwed his side and the viewing audience.

It's extremely difficult to do that. Somebody will knock them off. They're a great team to be sure, but not to have even a single hiccup that results in a loss over 38 games and 9 months (with other competitions mixed in) is virtually impossible.

 

[AAABatteries]

Nice dive Sergio

ETA - I take the dive comment back

Odds are you're right, but I think this Chelsea side is better than the Arsenal team that did it and the league may be relatively weaker as well -- not sure there's a legit challenger in the pack this year.

If it happens again it'll be a setup like this one.

 

[AAABatteries]

Ridiculous from Smalling - if United manage a point it will be a miracle.

Squawka Football ‏@Squawka now3 seconds ago
Chris Smalling's game by numbers:

37 minutes

2 fouls

0 tackles won

0 blocks

2 yellow cards

1 red card

1 interception

Other than that, how'd you like the play, Mrs. Lincoln?

 

[Txns8]

The ref realizes SAF retired, right?

 

[TLEF316]

And that's the end of that

 

[AAABatteries]

After thinking more - Smalling a bigger ####### idiot than I originally thought. His first yellow was even more asinine than the second. LvG should rip him a new one.
