Manchester United versus Liverpool in the FA Cup.  Trends continue, Klopp is still confused, and Manchester United maintain momentum. It was a mishmash of matchdays in the EPL this week.  Say mishmash of matchdays three times fast! Leicester City and Manchester City both dispatch clubs that hope to be in their position. Manchester United keeps the positive momentum moving forward against Fulham. Lovely Liverpool have turned into the ugly Klopps. Perhaps the best week of EPL soccer is this week starting Tuesday.  There are four great peer to peer matches in three days!

Two Matchdays Paper Tigers Become Hunting Lions

Listen : Listen here or subscribe on any podcast app Episode #79 - Two Matchdays Paper Tigers Become Hunting Lions It is so very nice of Liverpool to slow down and allow chasing clubs to challenge.  Kudos to the big hearted Scoursers.  The Paper Tigers Manchester United have become Lions on the pitch, undefeated in their last 10 matches, and now they sit even with Liverpool on points.  Are Liverpool fans scared?  Is Man U legit? Arsenal has won three straight after Arteta discovered he had an actual #10 on his roster.  Say his name, Smith-Rowe!  In a compacted table, Arsenal could be top four challengers once again.  But if that is true, then where does that leave Frank Lampard and Chelsea.  "Tank the Frank" can be heard shouted in London. Finally ... City is back, or were they ever gone?  Tottenham scored all three points and a resounding victory versus Leeds.  Are they contenders once again. Thank you for finding us an...
