I assume you are joking. None of the next six league fixtures look easy. BPL 1 Jan 2015 v Arsenal (H) BPL 11 Jan 2015 v Man Utd (A) BPL 17 Jan 2015 v Newcastle (A) BPL 1 Feb 2015 v Swansea (H) BPL 7 Feb 2015 v QPR (A) BPL 11 Feb 2015 v West Ham (H)

I just read the laws and you are right. That being said, the very next page says that it is an indirect free kick whenever the goalie controls the ball with his hands for more than six seconds. I would like to see that one strictly enforced.

That is not the information I get from my TV's on set digital guide. There are other episodes of Premier League Download but not this one. Also, this one shows up as new on New Years day.

Why don't we just distribute red and white striped Vuvuzelas and become the noisiest fans in Europe?

Agree.

I am just pleased she is still going to the games. From an American TV viewer perspective, she just disappeared after the dedication in November. I was worried there might be some hidden meaning. Possibly, she has just requested privacy from the TV cameras.

I think he pitches soft ball.

The article states: "However, Muriel, 23, has declined a transfer to the Premier League, instead insisting he wants to stay in Italian football." Given our experiences with other players from Series A, maybe we should take someone who wants to stay in Italy at their word and respect their judgment. Also, this is my 500th post since I started last August.

Particularly if he is happy with his spot in the squad.

I have a question for those of you who attend the games in person. For the first part of the season, the NBC TV coverage cut to a shot of Ms. Liebherr at least a couple of times a game. In the past couple of months they have not shown her at all. Is she still going to the games? If so, does anyone know why the American TV broadcasts have stopped showing her? If she is not still going to the games, has anyone heard why?

I think we should all be surprised by Chelsea's stunning lack of progress over the past five years.

Nothing special is insulting both to you and your manager since you should try to hire someone special whenever possible. Head of a department sounds like an insult, but really it is true, particularly if you have a club where there are lots of other departments who do not report to the manager.

Here are links to the schedules for the two competitions. http://www.supersport.com/football/africa-cup-of-nations/fixtures http://www.afcasiancup.com/dct/asiancup-dtc-performgroup-eu-west-1/AC_2015F_matchSchedule_FA_1p8dfjf1fmedn1vikie1c6ygxr.pdf In England both events appear to be broadcast live by British Eurosport. In the United States, after 15 minutes of Googling I am not sure who is broadcasting the games, if anyone. AFRICAN CUP Senegal's last first round game is scheduled for 27 January 2015. Zambia's last first round game is scheduled for 26 January 2015. The quarter finals are on 31 January and 1 February. The Semifinals are on 4 and 5 February. The third place game is on 7 February and the final is on 8 February. ASIAN CUP Japan's last game is on 20 January. The quarter finals are on 22 and 23 January. The semifinals are on 26 and 27 January. The third place game is on 30 January and the final is on 31 January.

No fair. You have to take a side.

Is there a web site that lists when managers were fired?

http://www.premierleague.com/en-gb/clubs/profile.squads.html/southampton For what it is worth, the Premier League's web site reports only Rodriguez, Gallagher, Cork, and Hesketh as being injured.

I really think Mane was playing up the middle yesterday which is probably where he would be most effective--hence the advantages of the 3-5-2.

My point exactly. I found it interesting that the authors of that article valued clyne at 25 million but schneiderlin only at 20 million. They must not realize that Schneiderlin counts as English home grown.

If jay Rod had been healthy last summer we certainly could have sold him for 25 million or more.

You also have to figure that Newcastle might be a bit tougher away than they were at home. Maybe Sunderland too.

I just posted “Midseason Statistical Over Analysis (Part One).” It includes a chart showing where clubs ended the season when compared to where they were after 19 games. I hope to do additional charts in the next several days.
