German soccer is going through a rough patch (again) and the Moroccans advance!

Just used the Libby app to check out the audiobook of GRANT by Ron Chernow. Great stuff so far. Very good reader.

This is a very long audiobook. Just getting to the part where Grant and Lee are sending messages back and forth to decide on a place to meet for negotiations to end the war. Spine-tingling stuff. Grant is commanding the most powerful armed force in history up to this time, holding the fate of the United States in his hands and is totally at ease with it all. The narrator is very good. Has voices for all of the different people. Is really performing the biography more than just reading it.

I finally got to this on the Libby app (what a cool app!). Made it through 7 of the 48 hours and just got to the Civil War, but my hold on it expired. Very entertaining listen so far, I'll start it back up eventually.

United looked miles off it today and were lucky to keep it close.

That's what 15 years of financial doping does. Another asterisk trophy for the cheating blue bastards.

Two official predictos:

Spurs will win a trophy this season and dirty Leeds will be relegated.

possibly fa or carabao but they aren't winning league or champions league

No way Leeds get relegated.

I couldn't have been more wrong about Spurs this season. I didn't expect Conte to completely capitulate like that.

But at least dirty Leeds are going down

Lampard 2.0: played 5, lost 5. It's too bad 39 points will probably be enough to stay up this season. All of those points Tuchel won before Labor Day are going to save them.

What a colossal pants shitting by the red devils today

So frustrating but I will say both goals conceded were unlucky. Malacia should've done better for the first, but it still took a deflection for it to go in. It's more annoying because United should've easily been 3 or 4 up before that. Worst thing to come from yesterday was Martinez going off injured and now being ruled out for the remainder of the season. Hoping this isn't the beginning of top 4 slipping away.

Tuchel -> Potter -> Lampard in 6 months would be incredible work from the new owner.

How are Zusi and Espinoza still regular starters in 2023? Total negligence by the front office and Vermes.

Palace's April schedule is wild... they play six of the other teams in the relegation battle. I feel like Vieira deserved a chance at the first few of those games at least.
