Who wouldn’t want to see the best clubs in soccer playing a couple more games per year? Unfortunately for me, this naïve thought experiment I had conducted was nothing more than an idyllic charade insulating me from the tragedy of an impending reality.

The performance United turned in was one of their best of the season, and it came against a team in arguably the best form in all of European soccer. As a United supporter, I should be thrilled. So why am I not?

In my opinion, there are five legitimate candidates to win the League this year, and coincidentally they are the top five teams in the league. Those teams are currently Manchester City, Manchester United, Liverpool, Leicester City, and Tottenham in that order.

First, does anyone else find it satisfying that on the last week of the NFL season the week numbers matched up between the two leagues? I find it to be the third best thing that happened to me all weekend.
