The Soccer Thread (Version 9)

Huge win for Watford at Wolverhampton today ... No Deeney, no Holebas, no Kabasele. Win 2-0 with two goals 58 seconds apart in the first half. Huddersfield at home next week. Good chance to start a new streak.

 

Huddersfield is dreadful. Four goals in 10 matches. Back to Championship for them, it seems.

 

The helicopter carrying Leicester City’s owner looks like it crashed as he was leaving today’s game. Does not look good based on what I saw on Twitter.

 

That definitely does not look good.

 

That was some Henry Blake shit right there

 

Oh no. Leicester's owner was killed in the crash. Just awful.

 

Big world news, and barely a ripple in the States. Not sure what the U.S. equivalent would be because of what Leicester pulled off a few years ago. Maybe the owner of the Mets in 1972?

 

I've only been on two helicopter rides in my life. Once in an emergency situation and once for work. Scared the shit out of me both times, despite being totally fine on an airplane. If I'm ever on one again, it's going to be a life or death situation.

 

This Man City-Spurs match is giving me flashbacks to Metrostars matches at Giants Stadium.

 

Someone posted pictures of Chelsea v. Charlton Athletic from 2003 and that pitch was hell. It didn't take long for everyone to get used to pristine grass.

All that being said, this field, for such a big matchup, looks like absolute dogshit.

 

Didn't the Jags and Eagles just play at Wembley two days ago? There's your issue.

 

Yeah, if you look at the pictures... you can see the faded NFL logo in the centre circle and the hashmarks are still on there.
