Yeah it’s unbelievable how on form Gray is right now. Just sliced through them. Brilliant from Doucoure too to pick up that overlap
It even forced the announcers to stop speaking love letters to Manchester United for an entire 90 seconds
No DCL or Richardson today- it’s all Doucore Gray and Townsend, as it’s been all season
Mind boggling that United has invested so much into the team yet is content to keep Ole at the wheel on the highway to nowheresville.
It’s like an NFL team with the talent of the Bucs hiring Adam Gase and sticking with him for four seasons.

But let’s not detract from we just went into OT and went toe to toe with them for 90 and got a point. This wasn’t a park the bus and nick a set piece Burnley draw.
We were at least even value and arguably should have won, this with our two attacking stars out and the corpse of 35 yo Salomon Rondon of the Chinese super League leading the line, a CB reduced to a shell of himself by a bad case of COVID at RB, a squad so thin we have to make up the bench numbers with a third keeper, and Tom Davies and a 19 yo academy kid whose stoppage time cameo is his second PL appearance, coming on as subs when they bring in Paul Pogba and fucking Ronaldo.

interesting that they put Leeds-Watford on NBCSN...do informercials on CNBC really make more money than an overflow EPL match during this match window?
Bullshit Var review coming back to harm Chelsea now. Love the penalty by Ward Prowse too bad England didn’t have him in the Euros lol
Great save, but reduced to an easy save by Timo Werner’s degree of difficulty multiplier. What a fraud.
As if on cue, Werner with the goal to give Chelsea the 2-1 lead. Was shocked he was actually onsides for once.
Respect. One sentence. 97 words. 380 letters.
(Not counting short cuts a la RB as the actual full word.)
Did you factor in the driving rain and 30 mph winds? Pretty much total slop out there, although Brighton to their credit have dealt with the conditions much better than Arsenal.
Did Kroenke get Lee Dixon banned from calling Arsenal matches? Did he not want more American fans turned against him?
Moss-Kavannah pairing and I am surprised we are not down to 10-on-10 at this point

Uninspired stuff from Arsenal, who should count themselves lucky to have the point, but not going to get too fussed about performances in the middle of a British monsoon.
If I may, I'd like to make a small request. On the vanishingly small chance that anyone here is going to be watching Mainz-Union Berlin, could you please hold or spoiler any discussion of that game? I've got both my teams playing simultaneously today. I'm starting with Palace since ESPN usually gets their replays up much faster than NBC.
After all that, and then a 10:25pm kickoff for Seahawks-49ers, it's going to be long day putting an ass groove in the couch here. And the Red Sox too.

Jesus that was awful. Palace was pretty much dominating the first 30 minutes and Andersen just gave away a goal. Ugly as Monday night.
I feel like Anthony Taylor is reffing with a random number generator. I have no idea what he’s going to call or ignore.
Pretty blah game in North London. Spurs scored from their one well-worked chance. Other than that neither keeper has been threatened much.
At least it's a much more solid performance from Spurs. The tactical issues from the Arsenal disaster have been corrected. But there still isn't much in the way of effective possession structure.

@candylandriots damn your Palace boys for not making it a competitive game. My son is subjecting me to insipid NFL pregame shows; a closer game might have been compelling enough for me to persuade him to change the channel.
Is it just me or is this a general view? I absolutely hate playing against teams that feature a Long Throw guy?
