Will be interesting to see how Chelsea plays this out.
Large, commanding lead in the EPL And such a poor prior season that there's nothing pressing them.
May well begin playing more 1st team guys in FA and more 2nd team guys in the EPL.

Chels through vs Spurs.

MU going to 10 men pretty much ended it but they played entire game fouling Hazard so can't really complain.

The ref had literally just warned them not to foul Hazard anymore.
It wasn't a ruthless challenge but it was clumsy and careless and completely void of brain activity seconds after a warning.

Man U set out all game to foul Hazard who is now out for a couple weeks....
He'd drawn an absurd 7 fouls up to that point and Man U had been hit with 14 total.

Man U should play better football.

Highly disappointed in Man U.

Overall they are improved from last year so hard to complain too much.

I love watching the promotion playoffs -teams fighting to get up.

End of season relegation battles are also great - reality tv at its best. Interesting dynamic in todays Chelsea v Middlesbrough game. Middlesborough are relegated if they lose and Chelsea need the points to secure the title.

Easy win for Chelsea! One more win and they win the title!

Looks like Costa is gone to China next season

Can Chelsea win the double? I think so.
Can't wait for UCL next year.

Gonna be interesting to see what transfers they make. Would love Lukaku back (who should have never been allowed to leave....)
Chels has lots of money to play with as they will undoubtedly get a huge fee for Costa from China.

Soccer sucks. Sure cure for insomnia. Worst sport ever invented!:);):grin:.
Soccer is far more exciting than most sports and has very little downtime.
Watching it at the highest levels it is breathtaking.
I can enjoy baseball but I fall asleep on it quite a lot.
Too many breaks and commercials.

Football is still King but soccer is easily my 2nd favorite sport now.
I'll DVR Baseball or Basketball and can watch them in 45 minutes.
I DVR Soccer and watch all but half-time.

Hockey is really fun in person, it can be tough or follow on TV because the puck moves so fast.
That's probably part of its ratings challenges.
Insanely fun to play even just the kids version with gym floors and tennis shows.
