He's been lucky not to be sent off three times this week.
I remember when the Dolphins were perennial contenders

Don't worry about it. Doctor Tottenham is in and will make sure Ole doesn't lose his job at the weekend.

Losing to the current ManUnited team is a rather difficult task ...

Didn't know kicking a player while he's on the ground is only a yellow.
The ref already whistled for the initial foul, which was a yellow by itself.

Hi everyone. I’m an American trying to get into the EPL. I’m trying to find a team to root for but I really don’t have a good sense of who’s who. I’ve seen the term “plastic” thrown around a lot and I’m not really into jumping on the bandwagon. I’d like to find a more up and coming team to call my own with a solid fan base. I was hoping I could get some suggestions or at least be pointed in the right direction. I arbitrarily have been following Crystal Palace the past week but I also don’t want to set myself up for a miserable existence of that’s a bad choice. Their new Academy looks pretty awesome though, although I’m still trying to figure out what that even means in relation to the team lol. Thanks for any info.

Google Newcastle United.

From an American perspective, you have to start watching the games. Only then, will you get a feel for it. You'll likely be miserable unless you become a fan of a big club. The game is all about money today. There is very little parity in the sport (no salary cap). The gap (Rich vs. Poor) is wider than it's ever been. So choosing a side like Crystal Palace will leave you disappointed.

If you have Amazon Prime, check out All or Nothing, which are like Hardknocks except they follow several sports teams.

They've done seasons of Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester City and maybe one or two other EPL clubs.

Good way to see behind the scenes.

Go with Newcastle.

Big team, big history, big money. The next few years should be a good watch.

Is Harry McGuire the worst and least deserving captain in European soccer history? He's absolutely awful on the field, I don't understand how he's playing at Manchester United.
