salah taking the golden boot race by the throat. shame that kane is injured, it might have been an interesting race to the end. salah deserves it based on his play this season, he's been great start to finish
Didn’t a similar thing happen last season? Kane & Lukaku neck and neck. Kane’s gets injured so Romelu pulls ahead only for Harry to claw his way back and steal it at the end quite convincingly. Similarly Kane breaking Shearer’s record really. Not saying he will, but I wouldn’t put it past him.
Which is not to take away from Salah who has been absolutely phenomenal this season. It would be no shame for Kane to finish runner up to Salah.
Hopefully, Watford will play like that when they come to Wembley. Love the first goal, he sent Britos for an ice cream AND done 'im like a kipper...

I hate the international break. What a load of shit. Can't wait for it to end so real football, where the players don't play like they've only just met, can continue
Good gracious Liverpool up 3-0 against City inside the opening half hour. I did not see that coming at all.
Because I am bitter. I’d like to see Liverpool make it to the semis and then get knocked out. Don’t really care by whom. While City take revenge in the league allowing Spurs to sneak in to 2nd or 3rd. Tottenham win the FA Cup just to spite Walker who “wanted to win trophies” so zero-sum game.
I want Barcelona to win the CL. I never like it when a team who have demonstrably been beaten over the course of a season* take the big prize, so to me that means City or Barca should take it rather than Real or Liverpool. Bayern would be ok too, but they aren't ever challenged domestically so I find it difficult to work out how much I like or loathe them (see also: Paris SG) * I'd also allow a team who won the league last year, then throws all their eggs in the CL basket. However, in this case it would mean Chelsea, and ******** Chelsea.
Pep never learns - played exactly the same way as in the league with the same result. Hope Poch took notes for the 14th.
is Pep trolling Moanrinho? http://soccer.nbcsports.com/2018/04/06/guardiola-claims-pogba-was-offered-to-man-city/
Well … City is either going to be really up for the weekend game and it’s going to end poorly for Spurs or they’ll be physically tired and mentally shot after 3 very tough games, and losses to boot, over the space of a week.
Classic Pep, he is the Smaug of European football, the chink in his underbelly has always been his defence. The problem for the opposition is getting close enough to exploit it without getting shredded at the other end. Klopperpool and Manure showed how it is done. Now can Poch come up with the right formula for Saturday? Speaking of Middle Earth, which characters would you cast as PL managers (past and present)? Smaug = Pep Guardiola Sauron = Jose Mourinho Saruman = Manuel Pellegrini The Master of Laketown = Arsène Wenger Lord Elrond = Mauricio Pochettino Grima Wormtongue = AVB Gandalf = Roy Hodgson Aragorn = Eddie Howe Bilbo Baggins = Harry Redknapp Gollum = Neil Warnock Legolas = Roberto Martinez Thorin Oakenshield = Sean Dyche
I love this, by the way; and it is almost assured of becoming a 'go to' line when conversational tangents or trivial minutia become pronounced. I've dropped it in on a couple of occasions now amongst peers and friends, and it has flawlessly conveyed the proper implication on each occasion. when a dispute about Andrew Lloyd Webber's assertion that My Fair Lady is the best musical of all times threatened to become just a bit too heated, a casually inserted "speaking of middle earth ..." was a quasi-tactful way of cooling passions, saying, "you're all a bunch of dorks", and most importantly, bringing that painful conversation to a screeching halt. I mean no disrepect, whatsoever, and I hope that this is in no way seen as a criticism of our good man Golara or of people who enjoy ... er ... whatever the hell that stuff comes from; but I think we all can concede that calling a bloke like Sean Dyche Thorin Oakenshield (I've googled the image) requires a momentary flight of fancy that might well benefit from a brief, sober summoning from the real world. I have no doubt that I may benefit from it, myself, on occasion. hell, if a mod had right from the outset changed the title of my man-love thread of fame to "speaking of middle earth", it might have done me a world of good. at any rate, if "I don't have cable" could effectively reduce any mea culpa - no matter how complex - to four words, I feel that "speaking of middle earth" possesses the same kind of force. I think we've all been empowered for good, here. Fingers crossed for sunshine in the pacific northwest. ... all in fun, mind.
