The Soccer Thread (Version 9)

Wolves are an amazing story, but the "Little 14" championship race is pretty tight still with 5 teams (Wolves, Watford, West Ham, Leicester, Everton) 4 points apart and Bournemouth closely behind. Wolves' form hasn't been great lately either, with just one win in their last 5 league matches (6 total points pulled).

 

Ole gets the gig permanently. Between this and Zidane at RM, Spurs have to be feeling really good.

 

Watford thoroughly outplayed ManU and lost 2-1. Need to find finishers. So many chances right around the box.

 

They were the better team in the second half, especially box to box, but didn’t really threaten De Gea until the garbage time goal. Mata and Matic looked awful and neither Pogba nor Herrera were close to good.

 

Burnley!

For the first time in my life, I will be cheering for Chelsea tomorrow.

 

Burnley also achieved that rare statistical anomaly: a 2-0 win while recording a single shot on target.

 

Brutal missed offsides on the first Chelsea goal. Warnock might have an aneurysm

 

They haven’t shown a good replay yet, but Salah looked off on the winner.

Edit:: he was clearly on

 

I feel bad that Cardiff got so badly screwed, but I needed them to lose for Burnley's survival, so... Life is complicated.

 

The slobbering or Van Dijk's play on the 2 v 1 is really out of control. He did a fine job but Sissoko had a clear shot on goal and simply gagged.

 

This was nice.

 

Ole at the wheel hit a big pothole today.
