Headlines 📌

• Pencil This One In. Newcastle v Arsenal Saturday 1230am cst on NBCUSA. Fun match from a fan standpoint, tough place to travel to for The Gunners. Can the Saturday Night atmosphere carry The Magpies to another home W against top competition? Arsenal are built for the road, will their midfield continue to control the action and limit NUs momentum and chances? The Gunners are a slight favorite at +145. Here is a little taste of the atmosphere to expect (YT 2m) at St James’ Park.

What 2 Look 4 👀- Match Week 11

10 down 28 to go.

EIGHT Home Dogs. 🌭🌭🌭🌭🌭🌭🌭🌭

• Newcastle +185 v Arsenal (Sat) - See Above.

• Burnley +180 v Palace (Sat) - Like Sheffield United, Burnley have a winnable game at home and need to get the 3 points. Palace continues to create chances but just can't finish with only 8 goals in 10 matches, yet they are outshooting their opponents. It will be hard for The Clarets to score, can Palace finish?

• Everton +200 v BHA (Sat) - The Toffees are coming off a nice win at The Hammers making it 3 wins in 5. A baffling loss at home to Luton Town 1-2 and a close loss home to Arsenal 0-1 and it’s hard to know what you will get from this team, but it seems manager Dyche has steadied the ship some. BHA got off to a hot start, and in particular at home but have only won 1 in their last 6 with 3 draws in all competitions. Are the rigors of Europa League getting to them?

• Fulham +255 v Man United (Sat) - Fulham have been an interesting team finding ways to Win and Draw in 6 of 10 matches while all 4 losses have been by 2 or more goals. As discussed in the Match Week 10 Recap, United are lost and playing without an identity. Talent wise, United should control this match, but will they.

• Sheffield United +270 v Wolves (Sat) - Wolves are unbeaten in their last five and are rare road favorites at -101 for their trip to Bramall Lane. While being in most of their matches early, the results speak for themselves, 1 Draw 0 Wins in 10 matches. The next 4 matches will most likely determine The Blades chances this season. They need 3 points this weekend, all hands-on deck.

• Forest +310 v Villa (Sun) - The Tricky Trees have not been too tricky of late, drawing their last 3 home matches, and 4 of their last 6. Villa have been unstoppable at Villa Park, but more gettable on the road with their only road win at Chelsea this year.

• Luton Town +1000 v Liverpool (Sun) - The Hatters have played tight matches at home this year - two 1 goal losses and 2 draws. Liverpool seem to also like close matches, at least in the first half, yet pull away late in matches. This feels like that type of match.

• Man City v Bournemouth (Sat) - Just Kidding. City is -1000 and The Cherries are +2400. Do not expect a letdown after the Man United win last weekend, City will most likely start a new line up. Expect a lot of goals.

2 London Derby’s.

• Brentford v West Ham (Sat) - The Bees are clear favorites over The Hammers. Let’s say that again, The Bees are clear favorites over The Hammers. That is quite the statement for the Kings of West London. It’s been tough sledding for West Ham of late and Brentford have seemed to find their footing.

• Tottenham v Chelsea (Mon) - 🎵🎵Are you ready for some Futbol! A Monday Night Party. 🎵🎵 Chelsea head to North London to take on “Top of the Table” Spurs. What Chealse’s team will show up? Will it matter? Postecoglou seems to be pushing all the right buttons for Spurs.

Hot Topic 🔥🔥🔥

While not officially “off island” - Let’s check in on the top leagues around England.

For background of the English Soccer Structure…..

The Championship

League 1

League 2

Off Island 🏝️

Upset City! This is what European Soccer brings - crazy results - like an NCAA Tournament when 12-16 seed upsets a 1 seed.

Scene 1 - Germany

The DFB-Pokal, aka German Cup, is the equivalent of the English FA Cup. The competition includes the top 64 clubs in Germany - 18 from the top league Bundesliga, 18 from the second Bundesliga, and the top 4 from the third Liga. The remaining 24 slots are assigned by region. Matches were taking place this week. Bayern Munich have won the most cups with 20.

Scene 2 - Second Round

The second round was held 10/31 and 11/1. Bayern Munich took on FC Saarbrucken, a team from the third league. You can guess what happened. (X 1 min) Down goes the top team in Germany! How will the Bayern fans react and how will former Chelsea Manager Thomas Tuchel, and current Munich Manager, handle the situation.

Scene 3 - Harry Kane

Sadly, another Cup Harry Kane will not win this year.

Best Headline - from ESPN FC - “This is what the DFB POKAL is all about”.
