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

Yes

His first two touches were a penalty and then a peach first time under pressure floated ball out to the left wing.

Essentially we have assou ekotto in goals

Danny rose has a serious attitude problem doesn't he

I mean he's great and his mentality to go from mediocre left winger to a European class full back and all that

But why would you force a ref to take you aside for a separate conversation with your captain and you just from some argy bargy at a corner sixteen mins into a game. Why.

Winks out.

rip kane

Jesus Christ I feel like phoning in an airstrike were dying out here

Sissoko aurier and son not exactly great at quick recycling of possession huh

Contropinion maybe but those printed on poppies piss me off. Kind of defeats the purpose? 'Here's your kit m8 we printed on the poppy so you don't have to even think abt it'. They should put a real one on, with a pin, so they too have the risk of hurting themselves putting them on. Yellow for losing it during the game.

otm

McClean should be made wear a poppy for every cunt act of violence he pulls.

seems they should have the choice. i wouldn't wear a poppy and i certainly would object to my employer making it mandatory i do so.

xpost

I'm sure they could ask to send it back

not if it's printed on the shirt

LG otm. The mandatory, auto-print use renders it meaningless imo.

could put a sticker over it or something

Next year, need a player to one-up McClean by requesting a white poppy to be printed on their shirt.

one of these or something

lmao

Good save by Gazza there

Palace forced a save, well done lads, that's our target for the day reached

Poppy's too small to be considered truthful. If they really MEAN it they should wear these imo:

Aurier tho.

Funny to start with winks/sissoko today. Against a team that will sit back you'd have though dembele/Alli make more happen even if they aren't metronomic

zahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa jfc

McClean should be made wear a poppy for every cunt act of violence he pulls.

Stickie or pinnie?

Sonned

Aurier should never get back in this team

Feel the same about Mkhitaryan

3 centre backs has left us looking very lightweight in midfield too, fucking shambles this

In other news Januzaj just scored first for La Real

8 point gap for City

Not sure what the game plan was there but that was really awful

well, I guess we'll have Pogba (and maybe even Zlatan) back after the international break. It's disturbing how reliant we are on him though. After all those millions we still need a new #10 and another creative midfielder

ye should forget your zlatan now and get rashford and martial more minutes

Are West Ham really planning on replacing Bilic with Moyes? That makes no sense whatsoever.

Where is utd defence

it's almost as if they played a good team

That can't possibly be the case, the only factor in play when they lose is themselves.

^^^lol otm both of ye

for a guy who's seemingly so concerned with keeping the ilf flame, you really don't post more than "lol" or the occasional smiley face do you?

He did get rid of Pandemic who was polluting the board with knowledge tbf

prem thread still not on ilf. on the sacred terraces of which i just posted leon clarke's entire club & goalscoring history to save everyone the trouble of using wikipedia

nice narky start to the week itt ye fuckers

also i was on here yesterday praising the virtues of stoke vs leicester, a game where two sides basically both tried to play on the counter-attack. nobody else said a thing. if you really take an interest in the EPL then you'd pay attention to midtable dynamics like that ;) <smiley

uh not yesterday, two days ago. nark on

Cunts

I don't get to watch much but spurs games now and uh I'm pretty sure I post during those....

FAO of The Clerk of Jerks. It is a football thread not a fucking Gogol novel ffs!

ok i've started watching the highlights

chelsea allowed rashford a completely unmarked header from a longish cross after 7 minutes. he didn't take the chance. chelsea did take the chance. you have to expect one defensive mistake per game unless you're some kind of spoilt football brat

rashford chance actually worse marking/easier finish than the morata one, which came about due to an inspired bit of movement by all the forwards, overloading the centre-backs

I am not even going to get into the blind entitled nonsense you read/hear from superclub fans expecting a procession every season, and crying like spoilt brats when it doesn't happen. Because I have a serious lack of dazzling wit and am already on a yellow!
