How about Fernando Torres! Scored another big goal today. He's on fire lately and too bad he was sent off after a brilliant goal vs Barca this week. I like Barca a lot but the favoritism uefa shows them is comical. Barca lost again today so Atletico is only 3 pts back in the tables.

How about West Ham getting screwed... again?!?!  It would be comical if it weren't costing us European football.

If you are referring to the Leicester City match, it sounds like the Foxes feel aggrieved as well. How long has it been since West Ham has been this close, this late?

This weekend will be my first chance to watch any of it as a certain deadline has recently passed. Football in the morning and golf in the afternoon. Really looking forward to it.

It's been since 1999.  Bilic was a player on a side that finished fifth.

The referee in the Leicester City was terrible, but Vardy did dive and the FA has nailed him for his conduct after the fact.  That late penalty was a joke.  Carroll got the ball, and the dude made an all-you-can-eat buffet out of a shoulder-to-shoulder challenge.  The problem is that the Hammers have been hammered by crap officiating for about four or five games in a row, including an offside against Arsenal that defied logic.

I guess nobody else watched the LC/MU match this morning?

A bit of a letdown since they could have wrapped it up, but securing a point makes it pretty tough for TH.

In golf terminology, Leicester just went dormie for the Premier League. This has been very exciting for someone who hasn't followed European soccer for that long.

Looks like In-ger-land wanted out of Euro 2016 as well.

Maybe they should take up baseball.

Ouch! The week couldn't get any worse for England. Congrats to Iceland. This is a huge deal for them.

No Kedira, no Gomez, no Hummels. France's mindfield is going to run through Germany like it was cheese cloth. Slow ass schweinsteiger will not be able to stop them.

That wouldn't make sense ... You could start a new one though. :)
