GW 15 (12/7 - 12/9) - ***** EVE-LIV PPD, go back to bed
- Thread starter OCST
- Start date
I'm in Pittenweem in the East Neuk and the wind is loud as hell outside. I was gonna take a walk down the harbour, look at the boats, but it's pishing doon an aw.
If East Fife have a home tie, it'll be a cold yin.
Does Goodison get the wind? I can't imagine Ashley the Young will enjoy running into the face of a rumbling storm. It might however favour Darwin's errant shooting.

The Merseyside derby is indeed postponed due to weather:

Darrah would actually direct Darwin's shots into the net.
We get to hear Neville make live reads for The Voice though. Bet he doesn't have to do that for Sky Sports.
Technically, this is El Sackico weekend between Wolves-Hammers
USA putting on Liverpool-Newcastle instead right now....

Palace out to an early lead over City.
City looked much better in attack with KDB back in the saddle (duh) but even at their best they were prone to giving away the odd goal. This version of city is something else entirely. Swap the kits and they could be any mid tier club:

First Palace game I've had a chance to actually sit and watch in a while. Good start, and I've never ever been burnt before vs City so very optimistic!
Michail Antonio apparently involved in a serious road accident. If the pictures of the car I’ve seen are accurate, it looks grim.
Yes, this looks horrible. Praying for everyone involved to be ok. Horrible.
Palace City ends 1-1. If they hadn't gotten at least a point I would have had a lot of feelings so will take what I can get
Just read West Ham's statement. Damn.
Michail Antonio is one of those players we don't talk about too much, but I think we all kinda love him. He runs himself into the ground on the pitch and we respect him hugely for being a proper pro.
Really hope everyone will be okay.

don't you wake up at 4am everyone weekend to set your lineups?
edit: very strange they did not change the deadline. They changed the deadlines during the COVID years if the first match was postponed
Forest jump out to a 0-1 lead against Manchester United on a Milenkovic header off a corner two minutes in.
From the West Ham twitter account.
"West Ham United can confirm that Michail Antonio is in a stable condition following a road traffic accident this afternoon in the Essex area.
Michail is conscious and communicating and is currently under close supervision at a central London hospital.
At this difficult time, we kindly ask everyone to respect the privacy of Michail and his family.
The Club will make no further comment this evening, but will issue a further update in due course."

[obviously don't know what caused this accident, having said that]... isn't this like the third or fourth car he's wrecked? I remember him crashing into someone's yard
MLS Cup lineups are out. A lot rests on Gabriel Pec's shoulders as a result of Riqui Puig's ACL tear last week.
True, but Pec can but in a 2-way shift. If he and Pantsil can successfully press/hold down in the space between wingbacks and pivots, Tolkin and Harper can be isolated and overloaded on the wings.MLS Cup lineups are out.

It should be a great match up between tactics. I'm looking to see how Garces, Yoshida, & Cerrillo manage Forsberg among them. RBNY do a great job creating traffic through the middle, which allows Forsberg to lose his marker often.
RB had a nice storybook underdog run through the playoffs, but it feels like reality is catching up to them here.
Already more goals and offense than expected for a Red Bull team that has more grit than talent and a Puig-less Galaxy midfield.
Wow. Good chance for Pec is saved, and then Forsberg misses an opportunity on the other end.
Marco Reus (who, naturally, is banged up) is coming in soon.

The Galaxy hold on to win another one. They've been so bad for so long now that my reflexive dislike of them has faded a bit. They are a fun team that perhaps got a bit lucky that the heavyweights in the East all shat the bed in the playoffs. Finally making the obvious decision to jettison the Chris Klein / Jovan Kirovski regime has paid off, and their new GM Will Kuntz should be able to build on this team. They need to shore up the defense to stay at the top, but if they can build around Puig for many years to come, they'll be a force.
Hard for NYRB fans to feel too bad about this one. MLS Cup road games are tough, and just getting here is a huge overperformance for this group.

It’s crazy. There are only 12 players who have ever played 400+ regular season games in MLS and he could join that club in his age 31 season.
Fulham's passing is a bit slack. Considering they're not seeing too much of the ball it's a problem.
They are currently a goal up, but it's a slow grind. You have to think Arsenal score at some point.

Do Fulham have another goal in them, cos Arsenal surely do.
Sounds like Arsenal have a fair few fans in the Cottage. Come on Fulham. Intae these Gooners.
