March 5, 20214 yr The best part of Everton's success, is that the higher they get, the more awesome the fall is.
March 5, 20214 yr damn, missed opportunity. should have gone with "is that also the counter for the last time liverpool scored at anfield?"
March 6, 20214 yr Che Adams with an absolute rocket for Southampton. Edited March 6, 20214 yr by Jive Turkey
March 6, 20214 yr Well that's 2 absolute rockets off the crossbar in about 10 minutes. Gotta bury those, or it will come back to bite you.
March 6, 20214 yr what the fuck is the purpose of VAR if this shit still doesn't get called? Edited March 6, 20214 yr by shadow_operative
March 7, 20214 yr So 2 points on that: 1. The FA has been pretty clear and consistent that even in unnatural positions, a ball kicked into a hand/arm at close range is not a handball. 2. As a whole I really hate this rule. You basically are telling defenders to move in close and spread out your arms, because even if it hits your arm, we won’t call it. But as the rules are being called, that isn’t a penalty. Edited March 7, 20214 yr by Captain Ron
March 7, 20214 yr how the rules are being called: only one of those was called a penalty. Edited March 7, 20214 yr by shadow_operative

March 7, 20214 yr ManU up 2-0 at City. they're looking impressive. very composed. they're gonna rue dropping so many points against shitty teams.

This is pretty much the story of everyone in the EPL. City has gotten away because they don't drop these points while everyone else does. Man U is the one with the best chance of catching them, but having the biggest small number still means you have a small number.

March 8, 20214 yr big matches today. Chelsea/Everton (NBCS) and West Ham/Leeds (Peacock) if Everton and West Ham both win, they jump into 4th and 5th place, respectively, ahead of Chelsea and with a game in hand.

March 8, 20214 yr More handball goodness from EPL. It was offside when Timo scored and a handball when Havertz scores.
March 8, 20214 yr aaand that'll do it. utterly piss poor effort today. don't even look like they want to be there in one of the most important games of the season.

March 8, 20214 yr West Ham making a statement. up 2-0 on Leeds. of course, with Leeds, this ain't over. it could be a 5-4 game.
March 8, 20214 yr 4 minutes ago, Cheeseweasel said: David Moyes coach of the year? What a strange timeline. After they came very close to being relegated last year.
March 8, 20214 yr and conversely, one top 10 finisher from last year, and possibly two, getting relegated this year.

March 9, 20214 yr seems like a good time to look at 538's league predictor. https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/soccer-predictions/premier-league/ Spoiler alert - City got it wrapped up. Things looking up for Chelsea Pool and Spurs get European football - not the type they were looking for Everton on the outside looking in. Fulham pulls itself out of relegation. Sorry Newcastle. interestingly, if Newcastle gets relegated, those storied long trips to the north wont be happening. (No Newcastle, no Sunderland) Edited March 9, 20214 yr by yoladu

This assumes that the FA and EFL Cups are won by a top 4 team. Not to say they won't be, but the only slots that are sure European slots are 1-5.

Just a quick clarification on the breakdown of who goes where: EPL 1-4 - Champions League: EPL 5 - Europa League FA Cup Winner - Europa League (Currently at the quarter finals: Bournemouth v Southampton / Everton v Man City / Chelsea v Sheffield United / Leicester v Man U) EFL Cup Winner - Europa Conference League (a new 3rd tier league behind the Europa League) (Final is Spurs v Man City)

March 12, 20214 yr I think Chelsea winning CL and sliding to 5th in EPL is maybe a bit more likely. Not like either of us have any chance in hell at getting past City, PSG or Bayern.
March 12, 20214 yr For you Peacockless amongst us, it's been a BORING first half. Villa/Toon scoreless at the break.

Newcastle with the equalizer. 1-1 final. at least you took a point. in two matches, everton have amassed a whopping 0 points against newcastle and got their asses drilled nowthis style both times. it will be the reason we finish 6th or 7th instead of 4th.
