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

How was sissoko let back in here

What is poch trying to prove

Lollll

Aurier fouled as he crosses it

Skews it forty yards into the far corner

God we have been terrible

That goal though

Swansea are a complete waste

Eriksen pass completion can't be 65%

Meaningful passes approaching zero

We look...competent now that we scored a fluke. Not disgusted to cruise and take a restful win but if they decide to go for it with ten mins to go it'll get nuts

Dier just gave away a brilliant chance with his patented move of running away from the biggest threat whenever the ball bounces

united squandering chances all over the place, it's like me trying to put the key in the front door after a heavy sesh in the pub

this rashford shot though

Rooney's bid for a World Cup call-up gathers steam

out of the englanders obv

moyes

Rooney's bid for a World Cup call-up gathers steam

Are you sure you want to joke about that?

Fucking hell just saw other results

spurs have needed a day tbf

Spurs neck and neck with Burnley, 15 pts behind the league leaders.

... sorry, 18 pts.

Uh ahead on goal difference

Burnley averaging less than a goal a game, Champions League watch the fuck out.

Leicester and Chelsea won it that way iirc

Uh ahead on goal difference

one 12-0 against you and you can forget about that

who you playing on saturday btw?

Ha

Grudgingly impressed by Palace. Leicester were awful even before Ndidi got sent off for diving but Hodgson has them well drilled and effective on the break.

"shit ground, no lights ... shit ground, no lights"

Two assists from our most derided player Quaner, love that big guy! Sometimes he looks so inept like he has won a prize to play in a professional top flight football match, not today though.

and Deeney has just seen red for bringing him down!

This ref must have got a nice envelope from our chairman, he's giving us everything.

this is every bit as horrible as I feared with the added factor of Lloris turning into the ghost of Robinson past. Rose intensely lucky not to concede a penalty

could easily be 4-0 already

Spurs looking sloppy, decent chance for Kane there tho

Ali is such a little scumbag

Kane should be off too

thought yellow was the right call for Kane though not by much. Alli an indisputable red

we deserve a tuning here oh look a penalty

lol how is this not 6-0 or so

Winks you fool

Dier a cunt for that penalty

Rose a cunt

Alli a cunt

Kane eyes on ball so not a cunt but definitely red

None of our players want a chance they look scared of one

Stream died what cunt was at fault for the third

dunno, but that cunt Dier was definitely at fault for the fourth

omg who was that cunt for fourth

xp

Giving the ball away for fun and all this past few games.

Poch should cull these pricks

XP Dier is on the cuntlist find me another

a number of Sting style crooked accountants siphoning these fucks' allegedly low wages would be a heartwarming festive story

4-1 don't care

ah bless they scored

Don't think we can really judge how good this Man City team is until they play in a more competitive league.

it still counts as Best League in the World if there's just one team distorting the average

Yes, but there's no competition for them, not since Rangers went bust, the fans must be so bored of watching just rolling teams over week in week out. They should about playing in Spain, even if they have to start at the lowest rung and work their way up.

still think united could beat them on a good day or at least make more of a contest of it than they managed last week. and I’m not just talking about in the tunnel afterwards.

lmao at Sean Dyche on MOTD to postgame interviewer "thank you for correcting me"

with the withering venom of, say, a terf tweeting at Owen Jones

Anyone can beat anyone on a good day. Yous are barely playing the same game as them

... in which our protagonist completes phase 1 in his transition from TWP to TWJ (the white Jesus):

The former Manchester United and England captain also told how doing community service working with disadvantaged adults in Macclesfield, Cheshire, had changed his perspective on life.

He said: “I’m still doing it and am about halfway through it.

“It wasn’t something that I was thinking I wanted to be doing because obviously I’ve got children at home and when you have a day off you want to rest.

“But I’ve really enjoyed doing it. I’ve been working with adults with learning difficulties in a garden centre and especially around this period at Christmas, going in and helping them with different things.

“I’m honestly really enjoying it, working with these people, and it is a place I will certainly keep in touch with when my hours are over.

“Seeing what they do, they obviously need support in what they do, there are a lot of adults with learning difficulties who need a little bit of help and guidance with what they do and someone there to help them.

“The staff there are doing a fantastic job and when I go they make me feel really welcome.

“I will keep in touch with them and try to help. Just going in, they have made me feel so welcome. There has been no stick. We don’t actually talk about football, it is a refreshing place to go and it is relaxing, you are with people and doing things you wouldn’t do normally if I didn’t go there. It has been great. It is not somewhere I would say I would go and do but I’m in that position and try to make it work and I’ll certainly keep in touch.”

there is a punchline so obvious and so off-colour here that i'm gonna take the high road
