Arsenal up 2-0 on Watford. Villa (0-0) in great shape to hold 17th, but Bournemouth putting the pressure on them (up 1-0).

It's going to be a fun couple of hours. 


Fantastic!
Mostly watched Chelsea-Wolves, Villa on the computer.
Nervous heading into half-time, then Mason & Giroux!
I did not think that Pulisic had a good game, but
Willian was hurt so CP had to play. Fear of him led to a defender playing a ball out for a corner. Then, Alonso flopped for the free kick that led to the first goal.
Had it been in the box, VAR may have reversed it.
The Giroux goal was wonderful, 90 seconds later.

We are good enough to beat the best teams, and bad enough to lose to the worst teams.

watched ... Villa on the computer


Grealish had a great goal while double-teamed.
Hammers scored on a wildly lobbed deflection.
Great moment during the interviews:
Villa coach Dean Smith asked what he expected for
captain/goalscorer Grealish.
Answer: I expect him to get drunk with me tonight!

Article reads like Man City-friendly spin in a Manchester newspaper. The Beeb with a more neutral article. https://www.bbc.co.u...otball/53571659

BBC has some bias as well, calling stolen emails leaked,
and describing MCs reputation as damaged,
as if any EPL club or UEFA itself has clean hands.

Didn't say perfectly neutral, but certainly (much) less biased than the Manchester article.

I think MC's rep has certainly been damaged even if the initial punishment was deemed too harsh. They are still paying a significant (though maybe not for them) fine.

Fulham made the Final despite their best player and golden boot winner Mitrovic out for both legs. Tim Ream is still a starter with them.
