Waterford draw with Limerick and Clare beat Tipp and Cork are gone!

What are the odds on that?

Clare have been the dominant team in lots of games but seem to be always hanging on in the end, they really don't rack up enough scores that their play merits.
Cork are the opposite, they'll absolutely hammer a team who's slightly off the pace at all, but will then struggle in a tight game against the better teams.

Dublin can consider themselves unlucky on Saturday evening, I watched a lot of that game thanks to GAAGO    and they played some fine hurling, TJ was quiet, Eoin Cody was quiet but John Donnelly stood up and was the difference in the two teams.
Lyng will be desperate to get Mullin back on the park, but two really poor performances on the bounce doesn't auger well for later in the year.

Don't worry, the much talked about City "16 wins in a row streak" is right around the corner     

That's our Erling! Scores 5 against Luton. #beststrikerintheworld.

Not to fear though, City will go on a 15 game winning streak (tm) any. day. now.

Just the 9 game winning streak required this season.

You would expect to see Tyrone being strong at this level with Omagh CBS school dominance. They could have won that game by a lot more and were a much better team. The number 5 is a serious player too.

Derry were very good but I don't think they have that quality of forward in their team.

The Kerry 13 (and 15 too to a lesser degree) were very good players. I'd expect to see one of two of them in the next few years but overall they just weren't as strong.

An entertaining match which was a lot better than a lot of senior games you'd see.

This year at the bottom was as bad as you will see. Sheffield United were awful and Burnley weren't very good either. Luton tbf to them put up a good fight.

Fergie won a league with 75 points in 1996–97. Newcastle were 2nd with 68. 

Have the top teams got better or have the lower teams got worse?

Yes, they have.

Also don't need near 40 points to be safe anymore which shows the quality at bottom is nowhere near same.

Fractured his shooting hand, missed the entire 4th quarter (though the result wasn't really in doubt at this point).

If the Knicks can stay healthy next year, they have a chance to the East, and then who knows...

Weirdest weather out there,Sky all shapes of Purple from the solar flare, but there seem to be dust, particles or sthing, blowing in the air, you think it was light rain or fog blowing in a wind, but its bone dry and no wind. Wonder are these some type of solar flare particles? Yes sounds dramatic but it's really weird.
