GWT: PL Matchweek 35 & 36

[Gecklund]

Yeah, not saying it doesn't make sense with the sun, just have never noticed it before.

I’ve seen a few start the game with it and then take it off in the first 10-15 minutes. Feel like it was in an MLS game or a USMNT game.

 

[hatterson]

Leicester is looking much more like they did the first half of the year.

Sheffield have really struggled to get moving through the middle of the pitch.

 

[Canes]

Maybe I've just never noticed, but I've never seen a keeper wear a hat in a game.

He was wearing it vs. Chelsea too but took it off I believe.

Ah, missed that game.

 

[Savant]

I’ve seen keepers wear hats, but not like that one

 

[koyvoo]

Joe Hart wore a cap during a World Cup qualifier vs Scotland. Handanovic occasionally wears one, and I seem to remember Jorge Campos sometimes wearing one.

 

[The Abusement Park]

Fosu Mensah starting today. Hope he can get himself back on track as he looked pretty promising a few years ago.

 

[Halladay]

Villa has scored.

 

[hatterson]

Sheffield have definitely looked better going forward since the break, but still haven't created anything of note outside of a bit of a pink-pong ball on a corner.

They've also given up a few high quality chances the other way.

 

[hatterson]

Villa has scored.

So you're telling me there's a chance....

 

[Halladay]

That might be the nail. Going down to the last match now.

 

[koyvoo]

Huge goal for Lester

 

[hatterson]

Vardy has been excellent with finding teammates in this half. Should probably have 2-3 assists instead of just the 1.

Usually he's much more a break forward and take the chance himself guy, but he's gone a great job at creating space with those runs and then finding the next attacker.

 

[Halladay]

Everton levels.

 

[hatterson]

Everton levels.

That functionally means that if there's a winner in the West Ham/Watford game tomorrow, that team is safe.

Watford would be less secure since it would be conceivable for them to lose two straight games and lose them by multiple goals, but West Ham's GD would basically mean that unless there's something insane, they're safe even with two losses.

 

[hatterson]

Ideal would have been a Sheffield win, second a draw, third only a 1 goal Leicester win.

A multi-goal Leicester win pretty much ensures United will need to finish ahead of them on points as opposed to being able to pip the GD race with a couple decent wins over West Ham and Palace.

But at least this way it pretty much ensures things will go down to the last week.

 

[Jersey Fresh]

Huge Everton equalizer. I want 3 points tomorrow.

Relegation coming down to the last match day against Villa would be too much.

All I want to happen as a neutral to the scenario!

 

[robertmac43]

Brutal sequence for Brighton. Both Stpehens and Propper too casual on the edge of the box.

 

[robertmac43]

Nice turn and goal from Maupay! Safety is secure with 3 points today!

 

[Jussi]

Rasse!

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

f*** I was really banking on a Sheffield win today, esp. based on their stellar away record. God damn.

 

[AB13]

Should probably be a penalty to Zaha, which would make 1-0 Palace, and not 1-0 United, likely.
