Anyone else's NBCSN streaming shitting all over itself?

edit: dammit looks like they figured out the enable-adblock-while-the-player's-loading trick

Really surprised by the strength of the lineup... all of Salah, Firmino, Henderson, Wijnaldum, VVD, TAA (midfield) playing

lol Diouf rakes his studs down Henderson's leg after the ball's gone and gets a talking to

Hard to believe this is the same team that put up 5 in a UCL semifinal.

Announcers falling over themselves to excuse it. If he kept his hand where it was and it hit alright but he made a Carey Price flash the glove save on that

Pieters has his arms all over Firmino on the final ball in.

No excuse to not put at least 1 past Stoke with a 2/3 strength lineup but that was some shambolic officiating, mainly the handball

I can’t get NBC Sports Gold to work today. I’m trying over VPN, which I’ve never had trouble with, so now watching a dodgy Russian stream. Anyone have success getting the app to work today?

FWIW - if anyone else is having problems, NBC told me they are aware of the issue and trying to fix it.

Liverpool’s draw today adds some interest to the top 4 race.

If Chelsea win out (they play Liverpool next week), then Liverpool need a win on the last day of the season to clinch top 4.

They play Brighton so it should be a sure thing because they should be safe, however with the final coming after that I’m sure Klopp would have preferred to juggle his lineup

Deserved red card for Mark Albrighton, football tackling Zaha with no one else between Wilf and the gk.

Edit: wasn’t quite as bad as I thought after seeing it in slow motion.

We are staying up! 3-0, Ruben Loftus Cheek after a great pass from Mamadou Sakho.

Now 4-0. I think Palace will be in 11th place (at least for now if all holds up here. Which is amazing considering they started 0-0-7 with zero goals.

Benteke even sinks a penalty. 5-0. I’m watching dodgy streams from now on.

Edit: and I have to say, I love that Milovojevic handed the ball over to Benteke. Nice move by the captain, especially given what happened the last time Benteke took the ball from him (losing a chance to beat Man City).

Everton top Huddersfield 0-2 and actually looked halfway decent.

Terriers in 16th, 3 points clear of Southampton in 18th, and 2 up on Swansea who just lost. Their last 3 are brutal- @MCI @CHE and then Wenger’s last game. Going to be tough to find points in there.

Southampton have two away matches next; Everton, then Swansea. They close it out with a home match against Man City. They could get anything from 0-6 points from those two games, but, I hope Everton can beat Southampton. If they're up for it, Everton ought to be able to, and you'd think Big Sam is hoping to keep the Everton gig for next season.

If Huddersfield can get one more point they might stay up...that's not saying much though - but at least it's gonna be interesting.

Wenger’s last match at Old Trafford (with Arsenal at least). Though not at Old Trafford, it was a classic Arsenal-ManU clash that got me hooked into the EPL. I was living in Accra and a friend took me to see this match, which was absolutely bonkers.
