I read this in the wrong order, and I thought Seo was responding to the Norwich City spot above with "That's hilarious."

I was like ... woah!

Don't mind me. I'm just a teenager from Spain hanging out in England for a little while.

I jumped out from the couch when it happened, immediately thought of the Rooney overhead goal in the derby game several years ago

Jurgen Klopp, the energetic and toothy German born manager of Liverpool FC since 2015 -- and the one often referred to by the hosts of the
Premier League weekly review show 'Men in Blazers' as a Teutonic Care Bear -- has announced he will leave the club at the end of this current
season, also adding that he expects to remain out of coaching for at least a year and that if he does return to the EPL it would only be for
Liverpool and no one else.

The respect is pretty high all around. Will he resurface, however, with a club based in Saudi Arabia or Qatar or UAE?

At the end of the Wenger era, he was my #1 replacement wish, so it was rough to watch him be so great at Liverpool while we had to sludge through Unai Emery and the early Arteta era. But no complaints today.

German National Team is a great shout. Maybe Barcelona is a possibility? No one is ever safe there.

I love how I keep seeing it referred to as "New York New Jersey" like it's one place.

And the "Tri State" dealers we hear about in car commercials.
I feel like walking into a car dealership and asking them what the three states are and show me their membership.
