Good to see Stevie May getting on the scoresheet as well! Strange to read reports of Stuart Gray's job being under threat considering we've only lost 4 games all season.

and it is all over both boards i post at. really nuts IMHO.

we have a fairly decent team, if we can get a few more guys back to 100%, i think we may win a few more and finish top 10... imho...
 
Cellino is a clown and a crook; if one needed any more evidence to see how corrupt (or at least corruptible) the game has become, this surely qualifies. If he is allowed to remain owner of Leeds the FA will lose whatever tiny fragments of credibility they still have.

Henry bows out from NY Red Bulls.

He had a good career for NY; it was refreshing to see a world-class player come in and (unlike Beckham) just get on with the business of playing the game rather than distracting us with a bunch of extraneous BS.

Beckham was a celebrity first and player second which is why Fergie socked him. And which is why Real Madrid was a perfect fit.

did i just see something about him returning to arsenal?

Media just jumping on sentiment. He doesn't have coaching badges and is too old to play. If he is to come back it won't be anytime soon unless its a desk job or Striking 'coach'

But Wenger has welcomed him regardless.

Ozul's already on that kick with his Adidas Predator commercial.

Wow what a loss for Chelsea! Playing agains 10men and couldn't close the deal. Props to the Newcastle defense today. Top notch indeed.
Now for arsenal. Guessing it will be a 2-2 draw but hoping for an arsenal win though 2-1
 
Thanks Newcastle

The loss of Matic proved damaging. Without his protection and distribution, Fabregas was nerfed and the midfield battle edged in Newcastle's
favour.

I hope we get the job done at Stoke but i have a feeling its a weekend for bogey teams. Hopefully i'm wrong.

In any case, today's already a good day.

EDIT: Expected a tough game but this is a steam rolling.

Did our non-German folks actually happen to hear that Dortmund is on rank 18, this season?
EDIT: one week later and Dortmund is at rank 13. :)

Is it, just because I mainly watch German sports news/tv, that I get the impression, that German top clubs and the two national a-teams have the most injuries in the world? If it is the same in other clubs / leagues than maybe ok, but one could also argue, that you are not doing something wrong, when you have a high number of injured players all the time (even if the results are good). On the other hand, do the different starting times of the leagues in regard to the international tournaments play a role here?


------
women's euro 2017 will be hosted by the netherlands and played in Breda, Deventer, Doetinchem, Enschede, Rotterdam, Tilburg and Utrecht. (with 16 teams).

If someone lacks football tomorrow and searches for at least a very small substitute, here is a free legal live stream. A German TV-channel's website will show "FC Bayern vs 1. FFC Frankfurt women, 1st league" at 11 o'clock in the morning (10 o'clock british time).
http://www.hr-online.de/website/rubriken/sport/index.jsp?rubrik=55795 (the screen will be seen, tomorrow in the middle, where there is only a notification now).
This is by the way 2nd against 3rd of the league. Both teams usually play more like attacking football, but Frankfurt's top scorer got injured last week and their coach said, he will play defensive this time (like they did against Wolfsburg, that is on 1st rank, and lost, still though.)

I honestly have never watched women's football ... Other than when I was younger and supporting friends in middle school or high school

Also ugly first half for arsenal.
Ugly ugly bad
Lack of general awareness
 
Liverpool aren't very good. But they didn't lose. And to be fair, Sunderland are a tough team to score against. Best thing I can say about the match is Liverpool didn't concede.

Arsenal, dear me. What happend? Crouchy with a goal in under a minute.

Thank the football gods, Chelsea have been beaten. I'm not sure I could handle a Mourinho/Terry/Abramovic team having an undefeated season. There's just way too much bad Karma there.

Just as thought no major teams moved anywhere today. Still have city/ Everton though.

I'm chuffed with today's result!! I didn't think we'd be able to hold them after Taylor was sent off. Very exciting match (that happened to go the right way :D)!
