    United with a disappointing draw at home despite dominating

    And Spurs putting up a scintillating performance against City. No Kane, No De Bruyne.

    Apparently Burnley is too much of a challenge for Arsenal. 0-0 at halftime.

    A good week. Assuming Arsenal wins. That's a very close race so far for the top 4!

    Also, DARK SIDE IS BACK!

    Mario Balotelli, haven't seen him for a while! So he's in Nice now. Just watched the end of a Nice game, he scored a winning goal and then got thrown out. 5 goals in 3 matches apparently!

    Seems like we're going for another close EPL season. The difference between the 1st place and the 7th place team is only 5 points and it looks like it'll probably stay that way until the end of the season. We'll see if teams with no European ball can take advantage.

    At this point, I don't think too many people care about Balo anymore. His talent and potential is undeniable, but his heart and character hurts his team more than what he produces in the long run unfortunately. If somehow it doesn't work out in Nice, he should be permabanned from Europe and forced to retire in the Malaysian league.

    Yep, to be fair, he was thrown out based on reputation, the dumbest red card. Great goal. It seems he's having great impact so far and Nice is at the top of table. I might end up catching a few Ligue 1 games this year.

    Just read Balotelli won't be suspended for next game, and the ref apologized for the red card.

    I know he could be dumb at times on the pitch but I will root for him because he was one of the few that could kick out a team like Germany all by himself from a major tourney.

    Here we are, international break again. Watched a few minutes of Spain vs Italy. Match is boring af and the players don't seem to be too interested as well.

    So excited about the international break. It's a time when we can sit and contemplate on the awesomeness of the EPL season.

    Best thing about a boring and one-sided Germany vs Northern Ireland match: Fans singing "Will Grigg's on fire". Shades of France.
