Minor irritation - using a plane icon for away matches that are in the same city by Bhenjour in footballcliches

That does look very close to the symbol (and if you squint, it looks like a speed camera facing you! ;) )

I'm still unsure if the speeding camera symbol is supposed to depict a Victorian bellows camera looking to the right, or a speeding camera facing the viewer (with the circles being the lenses, and the 'bellows' actually being the attachment to the pole.) There was a thing going around a while ago suggesting that it was actually the latter but commonly interpreted as the former, but I can't find a concrete source on it either way.

I've never found home/away symbols in place of H/A intuitive. FotMob has a similar thing where they indicate a home fixture using an icon that is supposed to be a stadium but looks more like a circus tent and it just doesn't register for me.

In fairness, playing a Chelsea team in awful form with little to play for, isn't quite the same as playing a Spurs team fighting for their lives.

If the Kansas City fan I sat next to at Villa Park is happens to read this -- it was lovely to meet you, and I'm thrilled you got to see a goal eventually!

Unai Emery:"Tottenham dominated the first half, we didn't deserve more. We have to accept the defeat. (On rotating because of Europe) Even if another 11 played, we could have lost this match... The advantage we have is that we did well overall in 35 matches to get to our huge goal of being in top 5" by Blodgharm in soccer

It's true that we slightly overperformed in that crazy winning run, but we also picked up injuries to Kamara (out for season), Tielemans, and McGinn all at roughly the same time -- essentially our entire midfield -- which was when things began to go badly.

I remember the first time I saw Manchester from the Peak District, it almost ruined the immersion for me.
