[Jussi]

Terrible season, they should change the showrunners. Doesn't also help that they keep changing the schedule all the time. The mid-season plot twist also was way too ridiculous.

These should be the full scenarios to watch for:


Champions League (4 make it):

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Caballero in, Kepa out. Ballsy move from Frank, and I think the right one.

No Willian in the squad, not sure what's up.

EDIT: Willian is hurt

I'm fine with Cabellero in...Team has no confidence in Kepa.

Should be a good game of footy.

I've got a parlay bet on all of Villa, Watford and the Cherries losing. Just because they have all sucked and 34 points will be safety...34!

 

[Savant]

Liverpool resting all of their front three and Trent today. Maybe I’ll watch someone else today.

 

[hatterson]

Hmm, looks like the Chelsea game isn't on NBC sports gold and I've already got all my simultaneous streams from YoutubeTV being used.

 

[Evilo]

Williams not aligning for offside and Newcastle takes the lead. Goatmez with a full sprint there

 

[Chimaera]

I told everyone to put money on Newcastle.

 

[Prntscrn]

Watching Liverpool since the break is bringing back some dark memories

 

[Evilo]

Laca gets a pen, Watford not looking good.

 

[Prntscrn]

Can't even watch the Liverpool game without the fake audience noise. Yeah switching over to Leicetsten vs United for sure

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Atwell off to a great start lol

 

[Evilo]

Edseron

 

[ItsFineImFine]

Really see Jorginho's weakness on the counterattack. He's not capable of playing quickly at all even if it's just making a good through pass on the counter, he's certainly no Fabregas.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Pulisic's touch has been really off so far

 

[Michelangelo]

NBC about to change programming from the ManU-Leicester game to show a f***ign funeral

ffs

stupid f***s

 

[Blender]

Really see Jorginho's weakness on the counterattack. He's not capable of playing quickly at all even if it's just making a good through pass on the counter, he's certainly no Fabregas.

He's been doing better off the ball lately with his pressing and roaming into space, things he did almost none of earlier, but yea when he gets the ball he still settles into that slow possession style.

 

[Chimaera]

Uh, I don't want to get political, but they should show the funeral (if it's the John Lewis one).

He's an important figure in American history.

 

[Jersey Fresh]

Uh, I don't want to get political, but they should show the funeral (if it's the John Lewis one).

He's an important figure in American history.

Why even schedule the match on NBC to begin with though, if you're just going to switch over?

 

[Chimaera]

He's been doing better off the ball lately with his pressing and roaming into space, things he did almost none of earlier, but yea when he gets the ball he still settles into that slow possession style.

It's hard for some players to change from the extra time they have in Italy on the ball. Aquilani is probably most famous for Liverpool. He wanted ages on the ball. Lucas has gone the other way and extended his career because of it.

 

[Chimaera]

Why even schedule the match on NBC to begin with though, if you're just going to switch over?

I don't think that they predicted they would have coverage options or things they wanted to show when they made the schedule for NBC a couple of weeks ago. Kinda hard to predict when someone dies. Or what the funeral will be like.

 

[Evilo]

Bissouma with one heck of a goal.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Kovacic is unbelievable
