Kurt Zouma is getting run roughshod by Demarai Gray

Edit: great through ball by Choupo-Moting and Shaqiri equalizes

Is Bayern / Dortmund not on TV, or on Fox Sports 2, which is basically the same?

Why does Fox even buy soccer rights?

Agreed .. although there's been nothing official yet. I saw a B/R report about this.

Now the Beeb has it as well.
Guy on one of the West Ham forums who has gotten a lot of transfers well ahead of them making the papers or twitter says what he's heard is:
1. going to make an approach for Dyche from Burnley (I don't love it, he's just young Allardyce)
2. If not the most likely caretaker isn't Moyes, it's Pardew (which is probably a better 6 month move as long as they get someone better come the summer).

Did Danny Rose spend his entire injury layoff working on somehow becoming an even bigger douchebag?

I didn’t think I could hate Wenger more, but then I saw his lineup for arguably our most important game of the season. Iwobi plays and Lacazette sits, and don’t even get me started on Coq.

I just finished the Palace Spurs game, and once again Palace deserved more than they got. I’ve heard they are statistically the unluckiest team in the league. I am not versed well enough in soccer stats to check this, but it intuitively feels right.

And as much as I love Wilf, he HAD to score after he beat Gazzinga-who had an outstanding game. Two weeks in a row they’ve faced goalies that were in top form.

I'm not sure how people here are denying the PK was a penalty. He did truck the guy, but Monreal clearly ran into the back of him causing him to go down.

I am not upset about the penalty even if it was soft. I am upset about the foul call directly before the penalty. An amazingly terrible call stopped an Arsenal break and gave City the free kick that culminated in the penalty.

That's what I am upset about, the ref actively took away an Arsenal chance because a City player fell down right in front of him.

This is fair and I thought this was what was being referred to until I saw another comment about the soft penalty.

Everton down (again) 0-1 and looking crappy.

Bad collision between Gomes and one of his Watford defenders. Gomes bleeding from the head and clearly out of it, probably concussed.

The Morata goal was stunning, as was the Everton game.

Arsenal fans blaming refs for the loss is hilarious. City played at about 70% and still ran you off the pitch. Arsenal was never in that game.

Edit: I mean, the offsides was brutal, but maybe not all stand around flapping your hands in the air while City finishes the play?

I'll post more later in the Everton thread, but this game was insane. The game in Victory with Michael Caine and Sly Stallone was more plausible.
