The Soccer Thread (Version 9)

Burnley-Watford was some grim football today.

 

THAT'S A POINT

 

Heart attack averted. Hope Fabinho is OK.

 

I think Burnley is definitely happier about that one point than Watford is. Hornets were great for the first 15 minutes, but when they didn't score, they fell off. Really missed Doucoure today. Might have to get used to it since he may ended up on PSG soon.

 

It's the best part of being a fan of a club like Burnley. So little to be made happy. For instance: 16th place! That's amazing! See. It's great.

 

Gotta say, I feel so bad for Newcastle. Rafa is one of the best managers in the world (top 10-15 at least), but he's stuck in a hopeless situation with possibly the cheapest owner in professional sports.

 

How can we miss him if he won't stay away?

Report: Landon Donovan to come out of retirement, join MASL

 

MUFC have won 6 on the bounce in the league since sacking who? I forgot his name already.

 

Shit, I had no idea I could get ESPN+ as an app on my TV. Can watch the FA Cup in all of its HD glory. Go 'orns!

 

They actually looked fun against Arsenal yesterday. Not playing so as to get a clean sheet.

 

Round 5 FA Cup draw is set.

Shrewsbury Town or Wolves at Bristol City
Millwall at AFC Wimbledon
Crystal Palace at Doncaster Rovers
Man City at Middlesbrough or Newport County
Man U at Chelsea
Barnet or Brentford at Swansea City
Watford at Portsmouth or QPR
Derby County at Brighton or West Brom

 

Not hard to see which is the marquee matchup.
