Imagine that this coach didn't get fired...

 

Another one bites the dust...

 

Pukki puts Norwich in the lead vs Arsenal.

Arsenal earn a pk for a Zimmermann handball. And Krul saves it, again. That's his 4th of the season. He does have the trick down though stepping off his line early.

 

The pk is retaken by Auba (for encroachment from Aarons) and makes no mistake this time, 1-1.

Norwich retake the lead, right before ht, Cantwell. Arsenal's defense again at fault.

 

Auba once again, levels it for Arsenal.

 

Mesut Özil’s game by numbers vs. Norwich City:

0 successful take-ons
0 big chances created
0 chances created from open play
0 assists

After VAR check as initially given offside Leicester get winner over Everton in extra-time

 

Huge goal from Iheanacho to likely secure all 3pts for Leicester. Need them to keep winning to maintain the pressure on Pool.

 

Class from Maddison showing support to fellow footballer, Benik Afobe, whose daughter (2yrs old) recently passed away suddenly as a result of complications from an infection of some kind.

Thoughts and prayers are with Afobe and his family. May his daughter rest in peace...

 

Awful news regarding Afobe and his daughter. Feel for him and his family.

 

That's #6 for Leo!
Like that Mane has been recognized as a better player than Salah this season (Salah is #5, with Mane in the final 4).
Deserved it too: Salah has been good obviously but Mane really is the guy that is making Pool's attack tick right now, hands down.

 

Seriously, what more could Matic do ...

Messi 🏆
Van Dijk
Ronaldo
Mané
Salah
Mbappé
Alisson
Lewandowski
Bernardo
Mahrez
De Jong
Sterling
Hazard
De Bruyne
De Ligt
Agüero
Firmino
Griezmann
Alexander-Arnold
Tadić, Aubameyang
Son
Lloris
Ter Stegen, Koulibaly
Benzema, Wijnaldum
Van de Beek, Marquinhos, Félix#BallondOr

As an aside, today's Ballon D'Or results should be great news for Juve and Portugal fans: CRon is going to play like a man possessed the rest of this season and in next summer's Euros.
Remains to be seen if at almost 35 he has at least one more season in him to reach that level. But it's a certainty he'll try his hardest to win another Ballon D'Or to match Messi. And I wouldn't bet against him either.

 

Ronaldo should have won it last year ...

 

More must be done to fight racism - UEFA chief Ceferin

https://www.theguardian.com/footbal...-be-done-to-tackle-racism-in-football-england

That's an understatement for sure. Enough talk really and let's see some tangible action for a change.
But of course, it's the same governing body, which claimed in recent days that they don't expect racist incidents to take place in the coming Euros next summer. With the tournament taking all over Europe and not in just one or 2 countries, as usual, I'd say that the possibility of incidents taking place is pretty likely unfortunately.
Unless of course that UEFA puts in place contingencies that are clearly communicated to the teams and the fans and will be strictly enforced, if necessary.

 

Who in right f3cking mind would be willing to play for us anyway ...

From a very good source in Germany:

Klopp and Liverpool favorite to get Dortmund-player Sancho.

Sancho wants to leave the club already in January

How can VAR be improved?

Where does he fit in at Liverpool? Is mane or salah leaving? I thought Chelsea would be a good fit now Willian is old

 

Ouch! CRon's sister after van Dijk joked about him not being at the Ballon D'or ceremony yesterday.
