although Bentenke just got a yellow and will miss next game.

fake edit: they just said it's against Swansea, I guess that's actually good timing, he was going to get it anyway at some point

Stoke v. West Ham has been fun. Stoke hit the post, Lanzini picks it up goes the length of the pitch, shakes his way in, trips on the ball and takes a dive while a player slides in. Gets the penalty.

He'll probably get a ban for it, but if it gets us 3, it's worth it.

I don't watch every city match, but every time i do, it seems to feature Raheem Sterling holding his head because he missed an unmissable chance,

Other than that, it seems as if city has the PlayStation cheat codes and they can't lose.

Just shredded Stoke late, could have had 5 or 6 easily. Worst miss of the year perhaps by Sakho. Chicharito comes on, makes a beautiful drifting run across the box drawing 3 defenders and the keeper, chips perfectly across to an unmarked Sakho at the back post, somehow it goes through his legs.

It is no fun watching your team play City right now. Feels like 90 percent of the game has been played on the last third of the pitch in front of Spurs' goal.

Spurs have decided, if they can't beat City, at least they can beat up City. Lucky to still have 11.

As wretched as Evertons season has been until recently, they’re the only team to get points off City, and the bar full of fans I watched the game with were disappointed to only get the draw. No idea how that happened.

It helped that City played about half that match down a man.

In a moment of cosmic irony, Liverpool score on a mess of a set piece.

California. Duh.
I find myself wondering why Jordon Ibe is wearing "Jordon" on his Bournemouth jersey. He always wore "Ibe" in his Liverpool days.

A minute after a great shot was denied, Salah gets his for 3.

20 goals for Salah, 14 in the Premier League. In December. Yeah, good buy.

Thanks man. The 7:30 start meant I was watching on DVR time yesterday, but that was a perfect start to my day. Hopefully they can keep it up. I think I would have figured they’d be around here in the table at the point of the season, but just once I want to have a year without the paranoia of relegation.

Edit: Here’s to Everton kicking Swansea while they are down tomorrow :)

I think there are definitely 3 teams that are worse than Palace.

Classic case of bad/close calls evening out over the course of the season. This one clearly offsets the penalty during the Derby.
