United getting hammered. By Watford. Wow.
Ole...out?
Ole expecting to be sacked after today's Man U 4:1 loss at Watford.
And now it's official...Ole is out: https://www.espn.com/soccer/manches...manchester-united-after-dismal-watford-defeat
Former Manchester United player Michael Carrick, who was on Ole's staff, has been named caretaker manager with the team intending to appoint an interim manager through the remainder of the season.
And then there's this report that Ole was too stubborn to make changes and the players lost faith in his system: https://www.espn.com/soccer/manches...bed-offers-of-supportstars-lost-faith-sources

Considering their recent form, I'd be surprised if Everton doesn't get boatraced in the Merseyside derby this week by at least 2 goals.
Words cannot even express how huge not just this goal but this victory was for Everton:
First win for the Toffees since September 25th when they defeated Norwich City at Goodison Park 2:0.
Also, great call by Martin Tyler on this goal too.

Spurs' Europa Conference League match tomorrow vs. Rennes has been postponed and their Premier League match set for Sunday vs. Brighton may be postponed as well due to a covid outbreak for Spurs involving 8 players and 5 staffers who have tested positive.

Spurs match next Thursday with Leicester City may be in doubt as well. Leicester has 7 of their own recently diagnosed with Covid.
The Brighton match has now officially been postponed.
As far as the match vs. Rennes, that game has to be completed by December 31st but Spurs has six games left to play between now and then including an EFL Cup quarterfinal match vs. West Ham on December 22nd.

I had to look boatraced up. Found one interesting definition…
And yeah, they did get boatraced in the derby.
Exactly. That's why the Demarai Gray goal against Arsenal was such a huge moment for the team. First win they had had in about 2 months.
With all these postponements happening, I'm starting to think we're getting to this point with the Premier League:
Three Boxing Day matches (Liverpool-Leeds United, Wolves-Watford, Burnley-Everton) postponed due to covid issues.
Due to all the Premier League postponements, the FA cup matches from the third round (which will be played January 7-10) going forward will not have replays and will be decided the day of the match, with extra time and penalties used if necessary.

Third round of FA Cup play this weekend.
Still a couple matches left to play this weekend but we already have 3 minnows that have won and advanced to the 4th round. Hartlepool United, who currently plays in League Two (4th tier of English football), defeated Blackpool 2:1. Boreham Wood, who play in the National League (5th tier of English football), defeated AFC Wimbledon 2:0. And the smallest remaining minnow of them all, Kidderminster Harriers, who play in the National League North (6th tier of English football), defeated Reading 2:1.
