The Soccer Thread (Version 10)

Ruh Roh Watford.

 

Oof. Sorry Cosmo.

 

Poor Norwich. Two reds and now an own goal.

 

Awful showing. Nigel can only seem to get those guys to care after halftime. Conceded first in every game since the restart. Bournemouth can absolutely get at least three points, if not four, from Southampton and Everton, the latter of which seems to not care at all anymore. It's definitely scoreboard watching time, since I can only see the 'Orns getting a point, max, from City and Arsenal.

 

And Watford has sacked Nigel Pearson, because, sure it's his fault. The players don't seem to be held accountable at all. Three managers canned in one season. But hey, Danny Ings just scored so maybe we'll backdoor our way into safety after all. I suspect a 4-0 loss to City is coming Tuesday.

 

Feel like I'm going to puke when the Cherries score. Then VAR comes to the rescue. Then Bournemouth allows another at the death to fall further behind on goal differential. This relegation fight is giving me severe anxiety. If my 'Orns can get their shit together Tuesday and steal even one point, and if Arsenal beats Villa, Watford is somehow safe.

 

It’s really weird watching the MLS tournament — not due to the lack of crowds, but because the fields at Disney use the same style of scoreboard I’ve seen at high schools and youth league fields at every stop of my newspaper career.

 

United really put on their first awful performance in the Bruno era today. But at least Leicester got blown out.

 

Can't spell Europa without Manchester United. (Almost.)

Grrrrrrrr.

 

A win or a tie on Wednesday and a tie against Leicester gets them through. Not the best resume material for Dave Saves.

 

Ballon d'Or will not be awarded this year due to the disrupted seasons.

 

Oh, Arsenal. So much caring going on.
