Missed the early game but I plan on sitting on this couch for the next 3 games for Boxing Day. Watching Newcastle and Leicester now.

I’m watching Brighton and Southampton. BHA up 1-nil, but it’s a slow game so far.

I sent my friend, who lives in Brighton, a scarf from the Stateside Seagulls Supporters Club.

I hope to make it across the pond next fall and will hopefully make it down to the coast and catch a match at the Amex.

Idk about that penalty call in this Arsenal game. Didn’t look like contact was made but it did seem to alter his run.. questionable I think.

Nice, Saka with the goal and a winner, for me. Usually, when I hit an early soccer bet, it means a good day for me

Nice to see Pulisic getting the start today.

Auba on the bench, is he already on the outs with Chelsea?

Well.. I am over this PL restart already. Absolutely terrible injury luck this year.

- Fofana gets back from injury then gets injured in friendly during break again.
- Kante gets hurt match week 2 and now has had 2 setbacks and will be lucky if he plays again this year, and possibly won’t play again for Chelsea period.
- Reece James gets injured in October, battles back, re-injures himself in 1st game back.

Reece James hurts most. Probably our most important player and the difference between games with and without him have been glaring. Will be lucky if we can even stay in the race for top 4 this year now.

He’s been playing, finished the game. He was always a player Tuchel wanted and was a bridge/filler striker for now though.. so my guess would be he leaves in the summer.

You got the dub today. Must feel good to break the skid

For sure, always happy for a win. 1st half had so much optimism because we finally looked good again, and a lot of it was because of Reece James. Even in a good win, knowing we likely lost him for the year is tough. Bit of a damper.

Neymar sent off for a dive, needs to happen more often.

I was beyond happy to see that. His antics almost make him unpleasant to watch.

I am in tears. He is why I have been a fan of Brazil since I was 7 years old.

Love him or hate him, Neymar on Pelé.

My Foxes score 3 goals on Liverpool, too bad 2 of 'em were own goals

@mad4vols Glad I wasn’t able to watch BHA play Arsenal today. Ouch.

Terrible return to league play for Spurs. Barely managed to scrape a draw away to Brentford on Boxing Day, and now beaten at home today by Villa.

Uninspiring play.

Chelsea play city twice this week? Ouch, hopefully they can pull 1 of them.

After the World Cup, I said to myself that Lloris was probably not going to be right for a while. Looks like all of the Spurs have that shell shock.

They need to bring back Pochettino.
