There's still hope for a return to normality Steve!

One cracker of a game today between the Gunners and your pe..., er, I mean Leicester City! 
 
Too bad I'm about to pass out for awhile (it's 6am here) so I won't get to watch Tottenham and Man. City play live (but it will be the first thing I watch once I wake back up!).
 
P.S., Man U. sure is stinking up things lately; losing to the Black Cats?  Really??!  (My roommate is a big Man U. athletic supporter and is NOT happy - lol.)

Another footy fan!
 
My EPL teams are Everton (Ferry 'Cross The Mersey) and West Ham (sure miss Sam)
My La Liga team is Valencia (worked there for a year)
My Bundesliga team is Augsburg (lived there)
My Ligue 1 team is Olympique de Marseilles (where my brother is retiring (his wife's hometown))
 
Yeah, I've been a Merseyside fan since Gerry & The Pacemakers.
 
Life goes on day after day
Hearts torn in every way
 
So ferry 'cross the Mersey
'cause this land's the place I love
and here I'll stay
 
People they rush everywhere
Each with their own secret care
 
So ferry 'cross the Mersey
and always take me there
The place I love
 
People around every corner
They seem to smile and say
We don't care what your name is boy
We'll never turn you away
 
So I'll continue to say
Here I always will stay
 
So ferry 'cross the Mersey
'cause this land's the place I love
and here I'll stay
and here I'll stay
 
Here I'll stay
 

Strange to see U.S. national players in the EPL. Tim Howard has done well for Everton. But Brad Guzan? Aston Villa benched him. And they're 20th out of 20 in the EPL table. Embarrassing. Just like the 4:0 Everton win over A-V last November. Ha ha ha.
 
Edit: Gotta add a big shout-out to DirecTV. Other than online streaming, I think they're the only carrier of the Extra Time channels. My Genie DVR has 5 tuners. There are Saturday mornings when I could use several more (EPL (NBCSN, USA, Extra Time 491-495, NBC)) + Bundesliga (FS1, FS2) + La Liga (BeIN Sports)).
 
In addition to GAS, I also have FCS (Football Consumption Syndrome). 

Glad to hear it! How many tuners in their DVR? More than 5?

Ok, I'm off to watch that recorded Tottenham / Manchester City game!  Kane and Aguero, should be some scoring.

SAME here! Shutting down for the day! Go Spurs!

Henceforth, please include the heading EFF (European Football Fred) in the title of threads about soccer.
Thank you.

Other than that ... Sunderland won? it's got to be a miracle of some sort!

Sam Allardyce! My man! Miss him running West Ham, but with them moving into London's Olympic Stadium starting next session, I can see that an across-the-board upgrade could be justified.
 
He'll make Sunderland competitive. Maybe never top of the table (he is, after all, a nice guy, and you know what they say about nice guys), but competitive.

In all fairness, Brad did really well last year with AV, and this year he's a dog ... and his defense is worse. I don't think it is all his fault, however, I do think that he has not "rested' and is probably suffering minor hurts here and there, that are not helping his ability to play better, most because he did not have a break while playing for the US team.
 
I think that Brad is probably damaged goods, and even JK is already playing youngsters and that kid out of UCLA or the one from Stanford, will probably be the backup GK's for the Cup, if not the main stay in the cup with Tim Howard the backup and coach. These kids have been playing insanely well.
