OT - Leicester City at Manchester United, 9:05am EDT, NBC Sports
Yes, I know it's early, but I'm getting ready to go to bed. This morning may give us one of the greatest stories in sport: Lowly Leicester City, a team near demotion out of the Premier League last year, clinching the English Premier League championship against one of the perennial heavyweights, Manchester United. Man United's field, Old Trafford, is also known as the "Field Theater of Dreams."
Can the dream happen tomorrow for LCFC? Tune in on NBC Sports at 9:05am EDT.
I'm with you. I'm a MUFC fan too, but I won't be crushed if the miracle for LCFC occurs.
Also been a Manc my entire soccer viewing life, glory glory man united. Vardy is out tomorrow so if Man U can control the midfield and give Rashford some space to create a win is entirely possible. Dropping Rooney to the midfield has really opened things up the past 5-6 games.
kinda reminds me of the Royals winning it last year, and the Tigers not really in contention. I won't be upset of MU wins.
You're correct - it's 9:05am EDT. I'll update the thread header.
Ha - you're an idiot. You sound like an RCMB'er. Five league championships and a Champions League championship in the last decade sure make for a shite team. Please, who's your side?
I like Arsenal.
On one hand, I'm happy a team like Leicester is winning the EPL. On the other hand, I'm so god damn frustrated as an Arsenal fan right now. It's not even funny anymore.
Arsenal hasn't been #1 in the standings beyond March 20th for almost a decade now. That is NOT okay!
I don't know anything about EPL (first year watching) but they had some kind of organized minute in the game where the fans booed the coach and held up signs. Those fans are pretty bitter (and demanding).

ehhh, piss if you're lucky.....
Where's Waldo?
More like if the Cubs' AAA team won the World Series.
I mean it probably won't be a goal fest or anything, but it will be an exciting atmosphere just because what can happen if Leicester win. Or even if they draw. Or lose. Depending on the outcome of the Chelsea v Tottenham match tomorrow. Although if Leciester's last game is any indication it very well could be a goal fest. I haven't really answered your question at all, I'm afraid. If you're awake you should probably just have it on the tv, even if it's just in the background.

Wolverine In Iowa, please forgive me, but I've got one minor correction for your original post. As someone who has (a) loved the film "Field of Dreams" from the first time I saw it during its original theatrical run, about six months after my father died, and (b) had to endure several Arsenal losses at Manchester United's home stadium, I believe that Old Trafford is more commonly known as The Theatre of Dreams, NOT the Field of Dreams.
As a long-time Arsenal fan who has been suffering through their miserable collapse and uninspriing play during 2016, I'll be nervously hoping that the Leicester City-ManU match will end in a well-played draw that will, at least for the moment, keep ManU four points back of the Gunners in the EPL Table. I'd still like to cling to the hope that the Gunners can remain in the top four in the standings at the end of the season.
And, borrowing from John Oliver AND also because you're in Iowa, now this:
You're absolutely right about Old Trafford's moniker - it was a mistake on my part, and I definitely know better.

LCFC needs two points from their remaining three games (including this one). Three points for a victory and one point for a draw. If Spurs lose any of their three games, it's championship for LCFC, no matter what happens.
If you mean today, they have to win.
If they draw, then they can still win it on Monday but their fate is not in their own hands.
Yeah, I can get nbcsn, FS1, etc. just fine at home if I search around, but if I'm on the road or at soembody else's house or in a restaurant/bar . . . they are not likely going to have these obscure networks.
Do not want.
