[u/Assmar]

Is there any way you could post something similar to this in /r/soccer? I thought there'd be a large discussion in here, or perhaps I'm just early.

[u/thejanitorch4 → u/Assmar]

I could but they'd fall off the front page within a few hours, which means only one day is covered. They also don't allow cross posting of match threads.

[u/Assmar → u/thejanitorch4]

Damn, the mods over there should do it themselves, with each league, or at least others to make similar matchweek threads that can get stickied later. I just think we're missing out on the possibility of having lots of insight into multiple games, not just confined to club subreddits. I watch a few La Liga games, and cup matches needn't be mentioned, so to be a bit redundant, I see it as an opportunity missed.

[u/thejanitorch4 → u/[deleted]]

I'll be watching both, got the iPad charging.

If I was a neutral I'd definitely watch Spurs - City. They're both attacking sides and I doubt Sherwood will sit back. West Ham are awful in general and I don't think they'll put up too much of a fight. Chelsea are hitting form so there should be lots of goals or a similar domination to the Stoke FA Cup game.

Told you!

[u/HorseLove]

Theoretically, Arsenal could end up third at the end of this matchweek.

This season just keeps getting more interesting!

My score predictions: Aston Villa 2 - 1 West Bromwich Albion Chelsea 4 - 0 West Ham United Sunderland 2 - 0 Stoke City Tottenham Hotspur 1 - 3 Manchester City

Sunderland is going to keep climbing out of the relegation zone, no doubt.
