Bunch of good matches this weekend. City-Palace and Chelsea-Everton tomorrow. Both matches on Sunday.

Looked like Everton was going to leave Stamford Bridge with a win today until John Terry scored a goal in stoppage time. Even though Terry was offside (or looked to be to me anyway).

Oh, he was offside. Royal gift for Chelsea.
Yeah. Although Everton was up 2-0 at one point in the match and even 3-2 in stoppage time and them blowing a lead in this match gave me bad visions of how quite a few of their matches went last season.

Not only was he way offside, it was also near the end of the 8th minute of 7 minutes of stoppage time. Rarely do you see 7 minutes to begin with, but then to allow an additional minute on top is crazy.

What a goal. He hit the crossbar later in the game too. And go watch Mahrez's nutmeg right before his assist today, if you haven't already. Just filthy.

Hard to believe that Alli is only 19 years old. Here's to hoping he stays put for a long time! COYS!

He just signed a new contract 2 weeks ago that goes through 2021. So - if he ever ends up moving on, Spurs will surely get big money.

Spurs bought him for 5 million pounds too! That goal was heart breaking cause Palace lost three straight before the spurs game but that goal was unreal.

Also, I've been trying to come up with an EPL or english soccer version of the Illini but have been having some trouble. I would love to get your take, I'm thinking Portsmouth but that might be too extreme. Possibly a Nottingham Forest or Aston Villa? My best comparison historically would be Everton though.
It's comical how Chelsea has owned Arsenal the last 5 years. I thought Chelsea played at about the same level they have all season, but somehow they still won.

Time's about up for LVG. Jose is begging for the job. Is Giggs ready? Drama.

Well - they were playing against 10 men for ~80% of the match. Mertesacker falling asleep and getting a red (absolutely the right call BTW) changed everything. Even with 10 men, Arsenal looked the more likely team to score in the 2nd half.

+1 Mertesacker was brutal. Cost his team critical points. He was never fast, but now he looks s-l-o-w. May get shipped out this summer.
2nd leg of the Capital One Cup Semi-finals this week. Liverpool-Stoke at Anfield and Manchester City-Everton at the Etihad. Could we possibly see a Merseyside final at Wembley?

Doubtful, but you never know, especially this season.
Probably so. Even as an Everton fan I know not to get my hopes too high. Though Everton did win 2-1 at Goodison Park in the first leg. And they did get a 0-0 draw at the Etihad a couple weeks ago in their second regular season match-up.
Does anyone know if broadcast/stream is available? TIA

beIN Sports USA has the rights to the League Cup if you have that with your cable package. You can usually find a stream on Reddit Soccer during the game, but I don't have one right now. I am hoping the Reds face the Blue Noses in a Merseyside final. That hasn't happened since the FA Cup final in 1989. YNWA
