God damn it. I forgot that there was Premier League play today. Three huge results.
First, Liverpool got off the schneid with a complete destruction of 'Arry the Elk 'Ornet, 5-0 at Fenway.
City got past tough West Ham but just barely, 1-0. Liverpool thus close the gaping 10 goal difference between the two contenders to a plausible six in one match! Ten to go. Boy oh boy did Liverpool need that result today.
Chelsea eased pressure on Maurizio Sarri with an impressive 2-0 scoreline over Tottenham and, I am sure, reinforced doubts of Spurs' nous and increased same on Mauricio Pochettino's ass.
Four big results: MUFC stayed hot, despite playing with like ten men out to injury, with a decisive 3-1 win over Crystal Palace in London.
Five...Which is also the number of times Arsenal scored at Emirates over Bournemouth, who only answered one.
And (No, not six), in a Coca-Cola Classic Southie leapt out of the trap door with a 2-0 win over condemned Fulham.
It is a two team race at the very top with Livers +1 (-6) over City. There is then a substantial gap (-8) down to three, Spurs, a not insubstantial -4 to four, Arsenal, and then one point down to United and three more down to Chelsea. Those four clubs will battle for the remaining two slots in next year's Champions League. Big day, goddammit.
