If you play 1st and win you get conditional credit.
If you play 2nd and win after the team you are chasing goes 1st and wins then you get TWICE their credit but the SAME # of points.
If you play 1st and draw and your rival plays 2nd but loses you get LESS credit (though MORE points).

If you went to bed Friday and woke up today you’d be shocked to find out that Arsenal’s six point lead at the top of the table had been imperiously chewed into by Manchester City and was now down to a tighter, scarier…six points.

Dale Johnson may be gone but the ESPN VAR review is still the “why the refs got it 100% right” rubber stamp it was when he was there.

Look, if you repeatedly watch a sport that has like 3 seconds of action for every three minutes of time, is littered with commercial breaks, and then spend time posting complaints about not being entertained, I think that’s on you.

Playing first, winning, then the team behind you playing and matching your result isn’t them “closing the gap”. It’s them *keeping pace*.
This is not something that has ever been confusing to me with US sports.
The PL has a very strange narrative dynamic with games in hand.

I just realized that a whole bunch of the media thinks the in-game “live standings” are the actual standings.

The breathless pundits project their own vulnerability to emotional swings onto players. Which is why today’s game was such a big thing for them. They think/hope everyone is as vulnerable to the narrative as they are.
But the players (and some, but not all, of us) are a bit sturdier than that.

Focus on what Sunderland did well, Shearer saying Sunderland should have scored one or two. And that they were “always in this game”.
Guys like him are supposed to know, but do not know, what they are watching.
Their heads are gone.
It’s a riot.
