GWT: English Premier League: 4/23 - 4/25/2016

[Cucumber]

Don't care too much about that at the moment, just care about beating Villarreal. They won't make up the point on West Ham, next weekend Liverpool have to rest players.

I have to agree here. At this point, Europa vs no Europa next year doesn't matter for LFC. If players want to join Klopp they will. Obviously, if LFC wins the Europa and goes into CL then that will be good for them. At this point with their injuries, and now Sakho missing the next few games they are in big trouble

Side note: I really feel for France. They are hosting the Euros and have one of their better teams in a while on paper but their defense is literally falling apart. Varane, Mathieu, Sakho Laporte, Zouma ect... are all in danger/are missing the euros.

At this point Umtiti-Koscielny with Rami-Kaboul/Mangala as the backup pair.

 

[Evilo]

Varane should be there. Laporte has an outside chance.
But yeah, from a position of crazy depth, we're now in a position of extremely thin depth.

And we'll be without Benzema, our best player.

 

[Ace Rothstein]

Arsenal, LOL

 

[HajdukSplit]

Leicester with a point will eliminate City and Arsenal from the title race with three games to spare. City-Arsenal also play each other in May so its basically only down to Spurs

 

[hatterson]

The draw from Arsenal really opens up the race for the top 4.

They're tied with City, both 5 up on Utd but Utd has a game in hand.

Since City and Arsenal play each other still it means that if United somehow manage to win out, they would either be guaranteed to pass one of them or tie both. Granted they're far behind on goal differential so they'll need to actually pass one of them to get the spot, but at least it means they'll be some interest in the last weeks.

Mahrez!

What a steal and a nice goal from Mahrez.

I love English chants. We have no desire to be catchy or clever like you stupid Americans.

It's pretty awesome. It's basically "what would a drunk guy tell right now? Ok, let's chant that."

 

[AdmiralsFan24]

Ulloa!

 

[Power Man]

Lol Ashley Williams wanted to fight Mahrez in the 1st meeting and he is the one gifting him a goal

 

[Halladay]

With the new seedings for the Champions League, Leicester will get an easier group then before.

Tottenham with the Leicester City we're coming for you chant last week.

Leicester City fans counter with a Tottenham Hotspur we're waiting for you chant.

Come the **** on Arsenal...

The extent of crowds chanting in American sports is "Let's Go (Team)" or "Go (Team) Go" over and over again

I think the best example to highlight the difference is when WWE tours the UK. The UK fans incorporate football chants/songs to their viewing experience. E.g. I would never have expected to hear 2 Unlimited's "No Limit" sang like this:



US crowds just aren't as inventive.

No Vardy, no problem.

 

[Ceremony]

Contrary to Mr. Vardy's Facebook declarations it appears there are no meaningful repercussions for undue chatting. Delightful. Get Newcastle doon as well, and what a season we have.

 

[Power Man]

That Grey dude is not bad

That Grey dude is not bad

Both he and Amartey seem to be pretty good up and coming players for them. Schlupp is a little older but has also played very well when used.

 

[Power Man]

Come on Westbrom

 

[booyakasha]

Come the **** on Arsenal...

When players like Iwobi and Ramsey make your starting XI, you can see what the aspirations are.

World's mightiest club

Come the **** on Arsenal...

I'm less worried about relegation than I am about Rafa's future at the club if / when we are relegated.

He was brought in too late to make it realistically likely they could survive. But he's too damn good to let him go without throwing everything including the deed to SJP at him.
