Canes fans, congrats on the second round victory vs Philly. So glad to see them out of the playoffs. If the Pens had played you, they ... would've been swept most likely, too. So better they endured that embarrassment rather than us. 😉😁
Good luck the rest of the way.
The weekend has a fair amount of drama in the title race, remaining European spots outside the first three, and the relegation fight.
1) Title race: easy 3-0 win on Saturday for City. Not so easy 1-0 win for Arsenal on Sunday. Controversy marred the end of the march as the typical corner rugby...
Oh, and Palace best Shakhtar 5-2 on aggregate to reach the Conference League final. They will play Rayo Vallecano, 2-0 winners on aggregate vs Strasbourg.
So it's three English finalists in the three European competitions
Sole Pens fan on the Pens board. I come in peace to wish you all the best of luck moving forward vs the Sabres, and the rest of the playoffs. This series should be a fun one to watch.
Important day for the title race and the relegation battle.
Relegation battle: Forest, saving most of their regulars for Thursday, put out a fringe team at Stamford Bridge today and still walked out 3-1 winners. Six points clear with 3 to play.
Title race: City took a 1-0 at the half on a...
Today's early results
Bournemouth 3-0 Palace
Man U 3-2 Liverpool
Dreadful first half followed by brief hope inside 10 minutes after the restart (thanks to two comical errors by United), only to give it all back at the end. The chatter around Arne Slot at full time is getting increasingly...
As for today, Brentford put a serious dent in West Ham's survival dreams with a convincing 3-0 at the GTech. Newcastle hurt Brighton's European hopes with a 3-1 win at St James. And for now, Arsenal's 3-0 at home over Fulham puts them 6 points clear over City.
Leeds all but secured safety yesterday with a convincing 3-1 win over Burnley. But my favorite moment of the match happened right after the final whistle. The PA system started blasting out "Smooth Criminal" by Michael Jackson; Burnley had sacked Scott Parker this week and replaced him with...
The other Europa result saw Braga beat Freiburg 2-1, with the return leg headed back to Mooswald-Stadion in Freiburg.
As for the Conference League, Rayo Vallecano beat Strasbourg 1-0 with the return fixture headed to Alsace. And Palace thumped Shakhtar Donetsk 3-1. The return fixture will be...
That "hand ball" was a moment of pure madness. I missed it at first, but when they slowed it down the first time I was thinking "what just happened?" Thought of both of you in that moment, NGL. But Jeff's right: 1-0 headed back to Villa Park isn't insurmountable.
That PSG/Bayern match yesterday is one for the ages. 5-4, and so much drama. Both teams giving everything and pursuing everything and playing end to end football. Breathtaking!
Today's match? It happened. Not quite the same drama. And Arsenal comes home after a 1-1 draw vs Atletico.
Back-to-back wins now. Silovs has played well in starting over Skinner, Sid has stepped up his production, and at least we didn't get swept. Better effort from everyone, particularly tonight (held Flyers to 5 shots in the third).
Eventful few days in the Prem after the Chelsea loss led to Rosenior's sacking
W - Burnley 0-1 City, with City momentarily moving to the top of the table on goals scored.
Also, Bournemouth 2-2 Leeds, pushing Leeds nine points clear of the relegation scrap
F - Sunderland 0-5 Forest. Forest...
Lost Game #3. At least, so far, we're ahead 2-0 in Game #4. SIlovs started, I think, just to "shake it up" somehow. But I noticed tonight that they've kept their head more than the last couple of games. If we can take this game I'll be happy: don't want the ignominy of being swept.
