Two notable things from today's EPL games:

 

-Clint scores the equalizer and triggers a 3-1 win late v City.

 

-Luis Suarez bit Branislav Ivanovich. That guy is insane.

Deuce hasn't scored as many as I thought he would, but he's scored a bunch and a few have been massive. Like today.

 

I had him pegged for 15 in all comps this year. I think he's at 11 or 12 right now. Given the lack of a preseason and the fact that nobody on the team passed the ball to him during the month of September, it's not half bad at all.

Adebayor gets subbed off and Spurs proceed to score three goals in 11 minutes including one by the guy who replaced him.

 

Arsenal is one point up on Chelsea and two up on Spurs but they've played an extra game. Going to be a great finish to the season.

 

Also, Suarez is a despicable human being.

In non-psychopath news, Jack Mac with a brace today. Everyone not on board the bandwagon, hop on now.

He's great, I love watching him and at worst he's a legendary MLS striker in the making, but is he more than Taylor Twellman Jr?

That is not a bad thing to be, just asking. They are built and play similarly.

I think he's a bit stronger on the ball than Twellman ever was, and I think his movement between the lines is really good. I think it's his mental makeup that gives him an opportunity to be much better than Twellman was. Basically, Twellman Jr. right now is his floor; I'm not sure what his ceiling is just yet, but the improvements he's made in the past couple years are really impressive. It's more likely than not he'll end up being like a Conor Casey-ish contributor to the NT, ie a guy that knocks in a few in qualifiers but is never a starter, but we'll see.

Also, unlike Twellman, he'll get a chance to go abroad when the offers are there.

Barcelona getting crushed right now as Muller just scored to make it 4-0. Two of the goals shouldn't have counted (the second was offsides and Muller should have been called for a foul on the third) but Barcelona's gotten enough breaks over the years that it's hard to feel bad for them.

 

Glancing through their game logs, the last time Barcelona lost by even three goals was on May 10, 2007 when they fell 4-0 to Getafe in the Copa del Rey semifinals (blowing a 5-2 first-leg lead in the process).

I want Barca to lose more games 4-0

This is crazy. Lewandowski with four goals as Dortmund lead 4-1 with 23 minutes to go and we're sailing towards and all-German final.

Juergen Klinsmann needs to learn to shut the hell up. He has no business ripping Donovan's commitment when he let Chandler back in and started him in a WCQ despite him dicking the US around for 2 years.
