Headlines 📌

• Best Result of Match Week 25. Tottenham 1-2 Wolverhampton.  Quietly Wolves are having a GREAT season. As a reminder, their manager Julen Lopetegui, quit the team after a dispute with ownership just a week before the season started. Enter Gary O’Neil, who was sacked by Bournemouth after doing a great job keeping them up last year. Bettors had Wolves as a top 3 relegation candidate for the year, but their 2-1 win at Spurs keeps them just 3 points out of 8th. As for Spurs, it’s two steps forward and one step back. This game had great action and some great saves.

  • Sweep. 🧹🧹 Wolves complete the season sweep over Spurs, both 2-1. That is also 4 of the last 5 at Spurs.

  • Wolves Howl First. Gomes with the header. (X 15)

  • Spurs Strike at 46’. Kulusevski with some great footwork. (X 15s)

  • The Brace. A brace is a two-goal game, here is Gomes game winner at 63’. (X)

• In to Relegation. Luton Town 1-2 Man United. 

  • 6 in a row.  Rasmus Hojlund scores in his sixth straight match of the season.

  • 40s. Hojlund gets United the start they wanted, inside a minute. (X 15s)

  • 6m. And then a brace and a two-goal lead. (X 15s)

  • 17m. Luton Town back in it, but that is the end of the scoring. (X 15s)

  • Ian Darke at ESPN. How far can Man United go this season.

• Out of Relegation. Everton 1-1 Palace. It looks like the Toffee’s are going to let this come down to the end of the season. A great chance to get all 3 points against reeling Palace and needed an 84’ goal to snatch a point that pulls them out of relegation.

  • Palace take the lead. Jordan Ayew with a rocket. (X 15)

  • Hops. Onana with the header for the draw. (X 15s)

  • 8. That is eight matches without a win for Everton.

  • 200. Roy Hodgson stepped down after 6 total seasons leading Palace, 200 matches. That most likely ends a 47-year career.

• How Shit You Must Be. How else do you act as an away fan after your teams struggles and your manager steps down? Palace fans serenade Everton (X 15s) at Everton. Sound on!

• Wanker. 1 Minute of pure shithousery (X 1m) between player and fans. Brilliant.

• Seeing Red. How to go from 0-0 to 0-5, Sheffield United with the blueprint. (X 15s). This is as clear a red card as you will see, and BHA took advantage of 10-man SU.

• Infamous Record. Sheffield United are the first club in the PL to concede 5 goals at home in three straight matches.

• 0-11. West Ham have lost three straight, outscored 11-0. This week 0-2 at Forest.

• Rescheduled for Mid Week.

  • Man City host Brentford on Tuesday. This is a make-up game from earlier in the season.

  • Liverpool host Luton Town on Wednesday. This is a Match Week 26 moved up this week as Liverpool will be playing Sunday in the EFL Cup Final.

Hot Topic 🔥🔥🔥

Moose Cup Final

The first of 4 “Major” Cups in English Soccer kicks off this Sunday at Wembly Stadium as Chelsea and Liverpool play in the Carabao Cup (Wiki). (the other 3 cups are the PL, Champions League, FA). The Carabao Cup aka Moose Cup aka EFL Cup is the open tournament between the top 4 leagues in English Soccer.

The timing for this match couldn’t be better for Chelsea, coming off their best game of the season at City, the side seem to be figuring things out and the motivation is high. This may serve as their “Super Bowl” for the season. A chance to play for a title in an otherwise already disappointing season. Add to that some injury concerns for Liverpool in Jota, Nunez, Jones, Becker and Alexander-Arnold - and what seemed to be a decided advantage feels like a toss-up. Liverpool is now +100 to win with Chelsea +230.

Off Island 🏝️

Champions League & The Torjagerkanone

Champions League continues with Sweet 16 first leg matches.

Torjagerkanone

There is no doubt Harry Kane is one of the best strikers in the world. Harry had some great seasons for Tottenham, taking them all the way to the Champions League Final, but never winning a Cup. It was thought a move to Bayern Munich, who has won 11 straight Bundesliga titles and who is a favorite to win the Champions League, would be an opportunity for Kane to get his first title. But, Munich lost again this weekend and fell 8 points behind leader Leverkusen. They also lost the first leg of their Champions League sweet 16 match last week.

Kane continues to score, but it is looking more like he will not win a cup again this year and that is not going unnoticed in the UK or Germany. And, Thomas Tuchel may be on the way out.

And Arsenal fans are loving it. Tottenham and Arsenal are BIG North London Derby rivals - and Gunner fans are letting Kane know the trophy he most likely will get for being the Bundesliga’s top scorer is basically the Arsenal logo. The Torjagaerkanone is the trophy given to the Bundesliga (German) leading goal scorer for the season.
