Why is Buffalo’s fan base called ‘Bills Mafia’ and why do they jump on tables?

The Buffalo Bills fan base is called “ Bills Mafia” because of a series of events that started with a dropped pass by Stevie Johnson in a game against the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2010 . The pass would have given the win for the Bills. The same day Johnson tweeted an angry message questions his faith on why this happened to him, which went viral. Fans rallied behind their player and started to call themselves a “Mafia” as to say they stand with him. Thus why they started using the hashtag #BillsMafia to describe themselves, and the name stuck. "I think we have one of the best, if not the best, fan bases in the league.

There was little chance of the Basque coach getting worked up about a game in October.

Yet, the meetings between last season's top two unambiguously defined the 2022/23 title; City won both fixtures (thereby collecting six more points than Arsenal in those games) and finished the season five points clear of the Gunners. Arsenal broke an agonising sequence of 12 consecutive Premier League defeats against Manchester City to move two points clear of the champions on Sunday afternoon. Here's how that cathartic result has affected Opta's prediction for the final standings, suggesting why Arteta may be justified in not getting car...

Premier League form table after Liverpool & Arsenal duke out classic 2-2 draw

The final act of the Premier League soap opera is hurtling into view. As the number of remaining games in this desperately tight table tumbles away, the form of each team rounding the final corner of the campaign becomes increasingly important. Liverpool and Arsenal delivered one of the most enthralling episodes of this season's series with a breathless 2-2 draw at Anfield on Sunday. A share of the spoils left Arsenal's lead at six points above Manchester City, although Pep Guardiola's side have a game in hand and host the Gunners this month.
