The CheckerBoard

Glad to see this thread bumped. I've been so busy at work the last couple of weeks, I've not had a chance to follow the EPL much. Anything major happened?

Mr. Dive Suarez should have been red carded and not even in the match after that Achilles stomp on Distin. Karma baby! BTW hid front teeth were certainly offsides.

Can't believe Chelsea has tied this up

I'm very happy that United got the 3 points, but it wasn't without controversy.

The red on Ivanovic was deserved. He took Young out to stop the chance at a goal. The card on Torres was a crock. Like Warren Barton said after the match, Torres keeps going and doesn't avoid the collision, he either breaks Evans' leg or his own. I don't have a problem with the refs carding guys for flopping, but I just don't see where that was a flop. On the Hernandez goal, I think it was very close. I'm going to say he was onsides, but maybe that is the United homer in me also. It was very, very close and is another reason they need goalline technology. It was a great match and it's a shame it had this much controversy in it.

As for the Liverpool-Everton match, I hate Liverpool as much as the next person, but I think that they got robbed. Suarez was in no way offside. The replays clearly showed that he wasn't. The only thing I could see that could have been called is that the Liverpool guy climbed on the Everton player's back to head the ball to Suarez. If that was the call then I have no problem with it, but if the call was offsides then it was terrible. And Suarez should not have received a red for stepping on the Everton player's achilles earlier in the match. He was going for the ball and they just happened to lock up. I cannot stand Suarez, but that was just a hard play there.

EPL coming to NBC next season.

Yea, it said all games would be live. I'm assuming most thru online stream.

Still will have to watch Fox soccer for Champions League matches

No doubt.

Updated Standings. Need to keep this thread alive

Linked a page with updated standings. Man U's running away and hiding.

I'm the same way, except I also played soccer. I think I'm going to give Fulham or Everton a try. Probably Everton

That will be the game of this round. I honestly don't know if United can take Real or not. United's defense is shaky, so that concerns me. The good thing is, Real Madrid is definitely beatable, so I'm hoping for possibly a draw at the Bernabeu and then get them at Old Trafford.

You're right on the 3rd-6th battle. Very good race right now and will get even more interesting if City keeps falling apart. I would like to see a team like Everton sneak into the top 4, but I'm not sure they have the team to do it.

It is on Fox Soccer at 2:45.

Got to like United's chances now with them being up by 12 points. They honestly seem to be getting better as the season goes along, so hopefully this bodes well for their Champions League hopes. Impressive win today IMO.
