'Even allowing for inflation, this thread is not worth 198 Terry Francises' - EPL 2017-18

How long dya reckon before the commentators stop being surprised that Huddersfield can play football? It's pretty annoying

the worst is when they come out with that old chestnut about them being not able to "maintain the intensity in the 2nd half and will tire" bollox. when they clearly haven't looked at our late goals stats from last season. And know nothing about Wagner's intense fitness regime.

Pundits: they don't get any smarter

Don't tell me ye missed mayo for this

If I want to watch some insane old Irish guy repeatedly shouting "C'mon Toime!" at some fucked up mutation of football, there were school fields where that kind of shit used to go on in the 80's over here. But that's in the past now!

Tomorrow three weeks 3pm sharp I expect every one of us to do their duty

Is it on in the pub I ask myself?

Well that Lukaku pen was fucking shit

Dunno, I enjoyed it

:)

Indecisiveness about playing Martial or Rashford really paying off

Oh fuck off

Fellaini's jam selects itself

Lean mean ManU machine <3

Has any other promoted team ever gone for their first three games without conceding? Serious question.

1998-08-15  Newcastle United   - Charlton Athletic  0-0
1998-08-22  Charlton Athletic  - Southampton        5-0
1998-08-29  Arsenal            - Charlton Athletic  0-0

were relegated even so

Another interesting fact is that Redfearn was in that team, and no side with that ugly motherfucking face in the crowd at a Dewsbury EFL rally in it ever stayed in the top flight. According to MOTD it was all about the 2 chances they didn't put away, not really a good reflection of our overall dominance and the multitude of chances we created over the 90 mins. But never mind, I prefer dislike to condescension any day.

lol I meant to put EDL, but Redfearn is so entwined into 90's EFL history!

Everton are muck

Sanchez in the Arsenal team

Welbeck preferred to Lacazette up front...

And Mignolet 'rested'? Rested from what?

Neville and Carragher ripping Arsenal to shreds lol

Davies and Son reminding me why they're bench options. Rest of team like a well oiled machine, they're giving it away for fun

Stunning counter attack goal from 'Pool

Bizarre incident between Alli and lowton there. Alli gets foul, lowton lucky not to break a leg, probably the right idk?

outstanding mane goal

this is an Arsenal performance for the ages

Mane goal was fucking great

xpost they'll concede another couple of goals yet

Amazing :D

and it's a paddling

salah looks useful

Arsenal so bad it's starting to look like self-sabotage.

That Karius though, yikes..

Wenger Out season starts earlier every year

This is a cracking game at Wembley tbh

Wembley: Theatre of Deems

Cannot overstate the gulf between every other player in our team and Davies

And I mean sissoko is now on the pitch

Exhibition stuff at one nil up

idk idk

Alexis smirking on the bench again

could look this up but electing to ask here: is Spurs actually on tv? I'm in Gareth Bale's awful sports bar, 20 screens all showing the Arsenal game

Arsenal: 0 shots on goal today

Not that I'm aware mencap, I'm sopcasting

Burnley all a sudden look like utd 99

Oh trippier trippier trippier

Just cost poch his job imo

yeah score just flashed up. christ

There was absolutely nothing to that game until 84 minutes. We were pissing about after scoring, training ground stuff. With a few minutes to go they started going direct and we were last in countering and slack in defending and tbh it was completely deserved.

posting only because the first sentence is just astoundingly bad, I haven't read any further

"Three games into a new season, it is not being wise after the event if the thought should occur that maybe it would have better for everyone, not least Arsène Wenger himself, if he had guaranteed a happy ending after winning the FA Cup in May and spared himself these kind of ordeals."

Oof

Paid per word perhaps?

thats taking the piss altogether
