    Watching Barca-Villarreal. Messi dribbling through a defense and setting up teammates with perfect passes is such a pleasure.

    Every member of the North Carolina Courage kneeled for the national anthem - again. Not a one-time thing. And wearing "BLACK LIVES MATTER" T-shirts in lieu of normal warm-ups.

    Damn, I know Watford-Norwich City is basically the dregs, but I kind of wish NBCSN was playing that game. A goal a piece inside of 10 minutes looks like an exciting game.

    But then we wouldn't have Ian Darke on the call.

    I was out on the course working today and missed it, but that was the Hornets' season right there. The way this relegation scrap is looking it may only take another three points over the final four fixtures to remain in the Prem. Watford certainly gets the easier draw out of the three clubs.

    Watford finishes: Newcastle, at West Ham, at Arsenal, Man City
    Bournemouth finishes: Spurs, Leicester, at Man City, Southampton, at Everton
    Villa finishes: ManU, Palace, at Everton, Arsenal, at West Ham

    And we can't sleep on West Ham: vs Burnely, at Norwich, vs Watford, at Man U, vs Villa.

    Hammers probably get 3 against Norwich and draws to Watford and Villa will go a long way given that would mean Villa and Bournemouth need to get 9 points to knock them down.

    Given the ground needed to make up, I think the bottom 3 won't change in the time remaining.

    *Edit: Given Norwich have all but clinched a relegation spot.

    Arsenal's Nketiah spent more time waiting for the VAR review of his foul than he spent playing the actual game.

    Legit red. That tackle could have cost the Leicester player 18 months.

    Reckless more than dirty. But really reckless.

    Leicester is really in a free fall. Not out of the question that they tumble out of the Champions League spots, even if Man City’s appeal is denied.
