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

lol joe hart

SOTON LEVEL

ref almost deflected it wide, ogbonna tries to palm it over, but nothing's going to stop that hopeful goalward punt from wazazza

West Ham’s next three fixtures are against Chelsea, Man City and Arsenal.

looooooooooooooooool

lmao

actual tears for moyes

Stick a fork in Moysey he's dun

spurs down to seventh

There was this documentary about Zidane some years ago, soundtrack by Mogwai. Camera's followed Zidane for the entire 90 minutes of a match. Do that with Moyes and I swear it's gonna rain Oscars, for the tale of humanity, defeat, emotion that it tells.

Sacked by the middle of next month.

tad ambitious maybe but i wouldn't be surprised if he gets the chop when they're at or near the bottom in mid-Feb

Egg on face for Mr. Davies.

sitting next to a hammer (& also my best my mate) right now and he's basically crying into his beer. any quick suggestions for shit i could say to cheer him up? cause i got nothin

xp lololololol

sack him after 6 months looks like he fucked up, sack him after 6 days looks like we fucked up, or whatever the fuck the line was

There's only two options left for Moysey now - career options that is, anything else is too distressing to contemplate - Scotland or Rangers.

Saints bow to the inevitable.

5 minutes of injury time in the southampton game arggghhh

xp oh fuck no!

ffs city, stop being boring

Damnit

don't mind when they're winning 5-0 and reinventing modern football or w/e but these single goal margin wins are no fun

Otm.

talking of 5-0, commiserations to calzino, that's brutal

Yeah, that's harsh

Howe is the next to go isn't he? B'mouth are aimless.

When wagner starts a game with Quaner and Cranie in the xi at the emirates you expect an absolute twatting. But we were good value for the first 60, apart from being as impotent as usual in the final third. But tbf Quaner had a shot on target. I saw enough in that first hour to know we will do better against the weaker sides. I don't fancy our chances against the ugly TWerP on saturday tho!

xp, it's this apparently

"I was telling Nathan Redmond how good he is at the end. Southampton have some super talented players, Redmond is so good one against one. But they didn't' want to play, they were time wasting from the ninth minute. I just wanted them to play." - Guardiola to BBC post-match. Stop

xp rabid in the headlights

Encouraging, but I'm going to regard last night in the same kind of tediously deep historical context that my middle-age demands... i.e., it's basically the same as the night we thrashed Leeds in late '79 (Latchford (3)) and went back to garbage the weekend after. I think Leeds had already lost 0-7 at Arsenal in the League Cup that season. And we nearly always thump West Ham (and we always thump Moyes), even when the performance doesn't merit it (e.g. the 3-1 away a few seasons ago when WHU were one up into the last few minutes). And surely, given the positioning of Hart and the last two defenders for that WR wonder-strike, just about any hoof on target would have been a goal. Good of him to go for aesthetics.

Based on the first half there is reason for some optimism. Everton gelled at times and though it wasn't very good, there was some spirit there, good intention. Not as lacklustre as they have been all season. But the second half they only just managed to hold on. WHU (Moyes' WHU...) caused all sorts of trouble for EFC. It's a small miracle it ended 4-0 where it could've easily been 3-3, too.

Idk what Big Sam needs to bring to the table to change things around, other than the old vague 'confidence' and 'winning mentality'. The players individually are better than to sit in the bottom four. Most of all you need a striker under your xmas tree though.

Now that would be a bold tactic

wayne rooney could prob do a job up front for a game or two

tho would need to find cover at left back

Sissoko on the bench, a start for Son.

"I've managed six clubs in the Premiership, which is more than anybody else.." says Big Sam without mentioning how many times he has been pumped.

I'll Poch out in deems stead: Poch out.

Busy so haven't been near it

I note one shot on target against us is worth a goal again.

Will catch highlights with interest tonight to see if lloris uninspiring recent form continues

is this a sort of derby

lewis dunk's third goal for liverpool there

What has happened to Spurs? The drop-off has been inexplicable and I haven’t read or heard any cogent theories why (or even non-cogent ones).

tough run of fixtures mostly i think

Teams are playing compact against us, we have only very limited routes to goal ito creativity and eriksen and alli are the guys tasked with making things happen around the box. Both are in shockingly poor form in the league.

Also we've been playing sissoko.

Also...beginning to worry about pochs book.

de gea is a cheat code at this point btw

think the players were reading ilx

xpost

If they were then they've not been listening the lumpen cunts

lol

i'm sure they'll be grand these narratives change v quickly

talking to a Spurs friend last night who is completely fucked off with Alli

fantastically cool assist by ramsey there

it turns out that the best thing to do when faced with de gea is to kick the ball in the opposite direction to him
