Six weeks ago, last updated this and the Pens were 14-7-7. We're now 28-14-11 (14-7-4 since the last update). Unbelievable that we're on 67 points, second in the division. Dan Muse HAS to be in consideration for Coach of the Year, right? Solid two-man goaltending team (Skinner and Silovs)...
That goal, by Trubin, if you've not seen it: spectacular. And couldn't have happened to a more deserving side than Madrid, who had TWO players sent off in injury time, both for dissent.:ROFLMAO:

Good weekend for the Gunners I see: win Saturday, and watch their closest rivals not win (City blew a 2 goal lead to draw with Spurs; Villa lose to Brentford). Glad my Reds had a good weekend in their dismantling of Newcastle. The Ekitike partnership with Wirtz is really starting to bear fruit.
Kalvin Phillips. Remember him? Victim of one of the worst moves ever, he killed his career at City, and is now moving on to ... Sheffield United, who are currently 17th in the Championship.

While they are moving on Simon Adringa to Monaco. His move from Brighton just never worked out, for club or player

Well, our move for Lutsharel Geertruida from Leipzig via Sunderland got too complicated to close, so we moved ahead on the deal (it seems) for Rennes CB Jeremy Jacquet for £55M plus £5 in add-ons

Let's not forget the biggest transfer (thus far) in the window: Antoine Semenyo completed his much-anticipated move from Bournemouth to Man City for £65M

Oh, and before the match, the fourth round draw for the FA Cup was held.

The last match of the third round saw my LFC see off Barnsley with two late goals, a flattering 4-1 win at Anfield. But for the goalpost, we would've been 1-0 within 30 seconds. Two thumping goals and we're up 2-0 heading into the 40th minute.
Then Dom Szoboszlai tries to backheel the ball to...
That's a lot of money (€10M) to pay a side to trigger their release clause so you can sign him, only to sack him 14 months later. If anything, it's apparent to me United have no clue as to what they're doing.
Four New Year's Day matches, four draws. And only two goals, scored in the Palace match with Fulham.
FWIW, the goalless draw between Liverpool and Leeds was lifeless. The similar result between Sunderland and Man City was the exact opposite.
FSG out of the hockey business. Never clear to me what their goal was in this.
As a Penguins fan, hoping the new owners have a clearer vision.
