Welcome back Antonio! #COYI

Hate playing Burnley and Villa on the road due to their similar jerseys. I'm easily confused.

That's why they use different names.

I believe but I think they need 10 points in these last 4 games. Antonio is back and Moyes says Rice is ahead of schedule, hopefully ready for Everton.

Russian Oligarchs have a bruuuuutal schedule the rest of the way, plus they have CL and FA Cup games in there.. Foxes is no treat either- and they have FA Cup.

All that said I’ve followed this team 20 years and you would think I’d have learned by now- but I really think they have something special going on.

RIP AS Roma
Damn it. Roma was the team I pretended to care about in Serie A. I do think this quick turnaround means Spurs no longer have to pay for kicking Jose to the curb.

Regardless, I think Serie A better fits his “style” than the EPL and he has a better chance at success there.

Looks like Spurs gardening leave compensation for Jose will drop from $20+MM to $3MM.

Pulisic the first American to be playing in a CL final, is that true?

Yes and no. He'll face another American in the final in Zach Steffen. Technically, the first American to win the CL was Jovan Kirovski with Dortmund in 97, although he didn't make the squad for the final. So there's a good chance Pulisic will be the first American to be actually playing in a CL final.

Hold on, that's not true either. Neven Subotic has treble citizenship and he appeared in the 2013 final for Dortmund. Sooooo, technically he was the first. I think.

Also, it's Zack, not Zach.

@Gaucho : After today, 538.com does not have Arminia as No. 1 "favorite" for relegation (last 2 weeks they were the most likely team to finish 17th):

Bah, the most likely team to finish has always been Bremen. I have Bremen at 17 and Schalke at 18 in my pool. ;)

Köln's loss today was unexpected an a huge bonus.

Yeah - especially the botched penalty shot for Koln was fun to watch (in Bundesliga, I root for Freiburg).

The one point Bremen got this weekend is huge for them.

Anyway, I think if Bielefeld beats Hoffenheim next week, they will most likely save the relegation.
