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

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

de gea is a cheat code at this point btw

Late last season I think I was happy enough with the idea of all the players who wanted to leave being sold for huge cash and poch holding a refreshed and committed core.

Now I think it's necessary tbh. Rose, Dier and if this isn't just youth/form/inconsistency with Alli then him too.

Poch will have more success with motivated 6/10 player like Harry Kane than with unhappy superstars

xp that's some Jim Montgomery 1973 shit there

Wenger out.

arsenal have ripped utd apart here and are 3-1 down

Is it true that this game is completely ridiculous and amazing?

Arsene, meet Jose (xp)

if koscielny played for utd and de gea for arsenal this would actually be 5-0

OK, so Pogba sent off.

first united match i’ve missed this season, sounds like i done fucked up

game of the season, super fun

City are going to batter us but it's good to see this united team have some resilience. Great game.

Apparently Arsenal's expected goals was around 5. Which I think just tells us how much bollocks Expected Goals is.

it would appear to tell us that arsenal didn't place their shots well when they had the chances and that de gea is exceptionally hard to beat.

Not sure we need an opaque stat for that when it was dead obvious for anyone watching the game though.

Sigh... we're not even fun like arsenal

Ref obv seeking to even things up, that's never a red but the koscielny one is clearly red

Oh wait he's just missed a clear penalty the other end he's just a clown

Is it true that this game is completely ridiculous and amazing?

Yes. It was insane.

Ref in our game also a clown both ends

Ref won't be happy til one of our add is killed.

The red we got had better be a fuckin machete

Hmmm no complaints!

would love an inter-ilx game reffed by deems

Have to fancy inter there

Was gonna say

Palace looking v decent all a sudden justice4woy

If this doesn't finish with City in double figures I'll consider my afternoon wasted.

i'm hoping for david moyes to pass at last into the netherworld at full-time, his spirit rising into the night sky like an extended sigh, dawn breaking over the ground as if a great evil has been lifted.

that and some goals.

really need city to lose but otoh moyes making that sad doggy face is straight up one hundred years of lolitude so i dunno

xp I think Moyes was put on earth for a reason, a short term ascension or redemption is not on the cards.

Oh I'll just go ahead and say it. I believe David Moyes is the second coming of the lord Jesus Christ.

What if god was one of us
Just a stranger parking the Hammers bus

"not all of us are going to heaven. that can't happen. it won't. the truth is there'll be plenty of people in hell and we need to face up to that."

I have scryed the futures that may be and the futures that shall be thru a wyrd glass using such arts as are known to me, hard won in the dark tumultuous days of the nether divisions. No vision has been shewn me that sayeth Andy Carroll may pass through limbo and obviously he's disappointed but he's a good professional and he knows what he can do to get back into St Peter's thoughts, Trevor

for a side that splashed away £130m on defensive players in one window, they still can't defend set-pieces for shit.

It's not about the destination (Moyes knows he'll end up on the cross by Easter), it's about the journey.

more appropriate that this was a slow icing-over of hope than a rout imo

never a red ffs

given that he's already self-banned Clattenburg should be banned from ever refeering aain anywhere.

i find the whole interview bizarre. what a fucking idiot.

It's so fucking stupid, his "game plan" and all.
