I'm late to the thread but I'm here to heap my praise on Cucurella as well. That guy has absulutely worked his tail off for the club the entire season--his motor never quits, and every ball he plays has positive intent. I'm so happy for him. And what a rocket into the roof of the net--very...
Sublime assists on all three goals. Excellent touch by Maupay on the header for the first, and as mentioned a fantastic flick by Mwepu on the third. His header for the Burn goal was a deft redirection too. Really good ball movement.
So. Many. Late. Goals.
Cucurella was man of the match in my view. Maybe I'm becoming a bit of a fanboy, but he did serve Welbeck the game winner on a platter in addition to dialing up a number of huge defensive plays. The guy is tireless, his motor runs non-stop, and every ball he plays has...
What are we supposed to say, Jag-you-wires??
This thread warms my heart. Dolphins fan here, a promising season already in the toilet. Tua can't stay healthy, the offensive line is terrible, there's no running game to speak of. Oh and the defensive secondary, the strength of the team, got...
An anecdote perhaps not worthy of its own thread, but I wanted to share my good fortune and I don't know anyone else on the Internet who would care. I took advantage of the free shipping offer from the team store last week to order myself some new swag. (Shipping being no small consideration for...
I'm actually glad for the thread. The guy's sartorial decisions are among the season's most puzzling in my view. Actually I didn’t pay much mind until Christmas when he debuted that tweed number that was both ill-fitting and not warm enough. The subsequent puffy coat was a big improvement, I...
I agree with the majority--the build-up to the second goal and the strong finish give my vote to Trossard. Dunk's goal was sweet but jeez probably should have been saved.
My assist of the game goes to Welbeck for the no-look flick to Maupay that led to the corner Dunk scored from. Welbeck is a...
Your observations fascinate me generally--and I'm sad thinking of trying to have a similar discussion of "favorite prime minister" with some of my compatriots.
Obama, in my lifetime I think anyway. His flaw was thinking he could negotiate and compromise with the GOP. They had no interest, and...
So Ian Darke sucks? Huh. I've always enjoyed him--probably because for a decade or so he called the US National Team games for ESPN over here. To include one of the more iconic moments in our admittedly modest history:

As one of the resident American fans on the board I have to say I'm entertained by the commentary on our sports fandom and sports bar demeanor. I'll chat you up any time! We are kind of fat, though, I'll give you that. Although, I've dropped nearly a stone since Thanksgiving! (Did I say that...
It's hard to contemplate resting Lewis Dunk but man he looked tired today. Yes he grabbed the goal but there were several shots of him looking completely gassed.
