Probably not, but I think they're a better – if less consistent and deep – team than Real Madrid.

Probably not, but I do think this run makes it a lot easier for Wenger to return if he so chooses. I always doubted he could be forced out anyway, but this makes it seem even less likely.

He said he wanted to go out on top. Apparently he announced it in February, a few days after his 500th appearance for Bayern. They offered a position as sporting director, but he turned it down so I'm not sure what he's going to do next.

Games until retirement for Philipp Lahm and Xabi Alonso? Well, it just ended. 4-1 over Freiburg

I picked up the new Humble bundle, mostly for Kentucky Route Zero which I've heard great things about. I didn't want to start in on it tonight, so I messed around a bit with Windward a procedurally generated sailing/trading/pirate-fighting game. It's pleasant enough.

It was like his mama just died!

Typical more creative nonsense!

I've felt myself slip into a deep clardic fug ever since the election.

They're a really good and really young team. It'll be interesting to see what they can achieve if they can keep most of the squad together (and keep Jardim).

Yeah it was clearly a yellow and only a yellow. Holding is looking pretty good and I think having Nacho instead of Gibbs out there helps on the attack.

*Yeah, I don't see why not.

The U.S. got David Pleat as a commentator for some reason. He thought Holding should've gotten a red and saw nothing wrong with Crouch's goal or the Shawcross elbow to the face of Giroud.
