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...

Um sir this is a Taco Bell.

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...

Grew up in the middle of New York State. College in Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia. Now on 22+ years in Montana. But I have been to Brighton once!

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: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b7eZmKWW9s4 (Missing from that highlight...

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.

Fantastic thread. Dylan's influence really knows no bounds. Several of my favorite covers already posted but I'll share a couple more. I would also direct your attention to "Chimes of Freedom," a four-CD collection of Dylan covers by a wide variety of artists, from 2012. A handful of the tunes...

You will see both NFL teams in color uniforms on the dreadful Thursday night "color rush" games. Usually a hideous third uniform for both teams. In other random American uniform notes, when I was growing up, the home team in the NHL always wore white, so you'd see a variety of colors from...

Boom.

Thanks all for the warm welcome and excellent advice, particularly regarding transit. Looks like I've got plenty of good options for food drink and atmosphere before and during the festivities. I can't play up front but I can certainly offer full-throated direction to those who do. I like the...

Greetings from Montana, U.S.A. The first English game I ever watched was Brighton/ManU in the '83 F.A. Cup final when a new cable sports channel over here was looking everywhere for programming, and I've followed the club ever since. Can't claim to be a super die-hard supporter...
