Fulham have taken 4 points off Liverpool this season. You may have won the league but you can’t beat the boys in white! COME ON FULHAM!

Southampton mathematically relegated today. Their 7 games left means that’s the earliest mathematical relegation in Premier League history.
They now have 7 games to find the 2 points needed to avoid replacing or joining Derby as the worst team in PL history.
Winning away at the Cottage isn’t for everybody. 
The Japanese Grand Prix was absolutely terrible. Congrats to Verstappen who hooked up an incredible qualifying lap to take pole, and that’s all she wrote. He lead the two McLarens behind him around the circuit with a gap of never more than 3 seconds and never less that 1 second, and that was it.
Only one overtake occurred by a car in the top 8 for the entire race.
McLaren had one lever - cars close up in 2nd and 3rd - but managed to wrench that lever free and jam it up their own arses. They totally botched their pit stop strategy and then failed to unleash Piastri when he was clearly being held back by his teammate.
So that’s 3 races in the bag, 3 different winners (which is good) but two were turgid parades.
Ovechkin broke the record last night. Historic night for hockey.
Credit where credit’s due: Reynolds and McIllhenny have Wrexham on the cusp of a third promotion in a row. It’s hard to overstate how insanely difficult this is, given the leap in performance level required for each promotion.
Assuming they don’t blow a 6 point cushion over the last 5 games, Wrexham will be automatically promoted to the Championship, one division below the Premier League. The Championship is a fucking cage match where everyone is desperate to win the 4150 million lottery of promotion and a good half-dozen owners are betting tens of millions on grabbing that prize.
Meanwhile, in the Premier League, Leicester were abject in putting up no resistance to Newcastle, losing 0-3 at home. Newcastle got the goals in about 30 minutes and then coasted to the final whistle.
Southampton may go down statistically as the worst team in Premier League history, but they are not worse than Leicester. Leicester has set new records for being shit by losing 8 games in a row at home without scoring a goal and losing 8 games in a row home and away without scoring a goal (they are quantifiably different metrics of misery).
Newcastle is tied with Chelsea for 4th - the last Champions League qualifying slot. There is no way on this good, green earth that Ipswich and Leicester will not join Southampton in the Championship next season.
I’ll give Ipswich a pass, they were in League One just two years ago. It’s embarrassing how bad Southampton and Leicester have been, they have absolutely zero excuse. Probably the worst group of promoted teams in Premier League history

Worst promoted group…so far.
The gap between the Championship and Premier League is definitely only growing. We did have the group that all survided a few years back, but that was an anomaly

He’s quietly one of the best players in the world. Arsenal looking good for the semis.
Extraordinary.
Scoring two free kicks in one game; amazing!

Justin Rose is -8 thru 16, with a chance to set a new course record.
Rose dropped a shot on 18 to finish -7. Leader in the clubhouse by 3. A gaggle of players at -4.
Wind at Augusta today is 12-15mph, gusting up to 25mph. The 12th is a crapshoot that has claimed a number of victims already this morning. Watching Amen Corner on the Masters app, the most recent group of three landed one each in the azaleas, back bunker and water (i.e. two long, one short).
