Agree with this. Was pretty worried in the first half. Spurs were energetic and aggressive, and definitely didn't feel like the type of game that would be 3-0 Arsenal at the break. But regardless, huge win. There have been plenty of times where Arsenal play beautiful football but can't put away chances, so no complaints about a game where they outperform their xG in what was always going to be a chaotic match. Highlight of the game for me was Ben White picking at Vicario's glove ahead of a corner, that was hilarious.

For what it's worth, Matt Harmon likes Pearsall a lot, and he is great with WR evaluations. He is a fantasy football analyst, but also focuses on WR in a way that goes beyond that perspective. Link

The VAR is a City fan and wanted his boys to play against the easier team.

How did Neuer try to move his leg back? He's literally stepping forward with it. He's trying to pull up because he realizes Saka is about to get around him, so you can see his left arm swing backward and head turn to the right as he's trying to re-orient his body, but his right leg is clearly still stepping forward into Saka's path. I'm not sure if it was to intentionally cut him off or just because of Neuer's momentum (or maybe both), but either way he's extending his leg out, not pulling it back at all.

Looked like a penalty to me. Like you said, Neuer pretty clearly sticks out his leg into Saka's path. Yeah, maybe Saka allowed his leg to make contact, but its not as if he's changing his direction to run into the goalie. Neuer is getting in his way, and Saka would have needed to shift left to avoid bumping him. In a situation where he's going into the air and things are moving fast, I don't think its fair to put that on Saka, especially given how Neuer is stabbing a leg out to cut him off.

Okay looks like it needs to be either Thursday March 28 or Friday March 29. Either one is okay for me.

Heard from Jaime, and he is traveling on a World Tour to celebrate his championship last year, so he can't draft until March 27th or later. Since the 27th is out for JJ, think we will probably have to push the draft to Opening Day or later and just use retroactive stats. I think that's a better option than having teams miss the first start from their ace pitchers, right? So maybe a draft on: Thursday March 28 Friday March 29 Saturday March 30 Sunday March 31 I think earlier is better, so would definitely favor as soon as possible.

Okay so we should have 9. Maybe a draft on Sunday at 7 p.m. central?

So we have me, Week, Bronn, Jaime, Phil, Pyro, and JJ. Jaxom and Mexal are maybes. Haven't heard from Groz. I'd be okay with an 8 person league if one of @Jaxom 1974 @Mexal @grozeng wants to play. But 9 or 10 is better. Are we good with ending with July 31st as the last day again? I still don't want to play a full season. Think the draft would need to be one of these days: Friday March 22 Saturday March 23 Sunday March 24 Monday March 25 Tuesday March 26 Wednesday March 27 I think I'm open for all of them, but would probably prefer one in the 24-27 range if people are available. @Week @Bronn Stone @Jaime L @Arch-MaesterPhilip @PyroclasticFlow @JJ Lannister

Sounds like we have me, Bronn, Week, Jaime, Phil, and maybe Jaxom. Probably going to need 2-3 more. Mexal is a maybe (he's saying no but could change his mind). Surprised we haven't heard back from JJ, Pyro, and groz yet.

Its an auction with $300 to spend on C, 1B, 2B, SS, 3B, CI, MI, 5 OF, 2 UT, 7 SP, 3 RP, and 6 Bench. Scoring categories are R, HR, RBI, SB, AVG, OPS for hitters and ERA, WHIP, QS, K, K/BB, Saves+Holds for pitchers.

I think I'm up for playing again. @Week ?

That game was super intense. Perfect weekend, best possible result.

Had the exact same experience. I loved almost everything about the game. But if I had to pick one thing that stood out above the rest, it would be Karlach's story.
