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

lol what an ending

astonishing miss from i think firmino

I love it when Klopps chucks a CB up front

Astonishing Firmino Lallana double miss there.

6 points between 10th and 20th.

I like this lfc team I don't think demanding nuts consistency on top of all the progress already made is fair just yet so good luck to em and may we all hammer united into sixth next year

except they're doing the same thing they've always done - raising their game against the best team in league, losing to the worst the next week. It's as predictable as it is satisfying

not convinced swansea are the worst team in the league any more

semantics

they do have an awful lot of 'lost to hull' and suchlike in their recent past

Newcastle signing Kenedy from Chelsea, which is kinda interesting I guess

First name Marc

impressive showing from Swansea's back 10. tbf they were gritty. 50 minutes in it was obvious Liverpool werent going to get a goal. sheer panic set in, I think the defenders had more shots on goal than the strikers.

xps regarding "Mkhitaryan 'always dreamed of playing for Arsenal'" i heard he was an arsenal fan as a kid

then again this could just be a lil robbiekeanism

I can't work out if Mkhitaryan is going to absolutely fly when freed from the shackles of turgid Joseball or if he's going to be called a fraud and a wasteman by some spittle-flecked Arsenal Fan TV interviewee every single week from now until he signs for Galatasaray.

This was from a 2009 interview with UEFA apparently:

"My favourite team is Arsenal," he explained, while still playing for home-town side Pyunik between 2006 and 2009. "I like their attacking play and fast style. Moreover, Arsène Wenger puts faith in young players while demanding results at the same time. I like that and want to play there one day."

“For the record I definitely don’t eat worms and I never did” said Dyche, before burping up a worm.

Brilliant.

"Look as if you’re chewing it and then spit it out, wash your mouth with water. It was a bit of banter that Soren has probably taken a bit too far, he was probably turning away at that moment. He’s a good lad."

The defense rests.

we need to get The Wisdom Of Gaffers going again

the mind that believes chewing worms is banter is a mysterious one indeed

If you're following this on Sky, it's worth pointing out that literally everything Danny Mills just said is incorrect

aww is this over already?

Group 1

Germany
France
Netherlands

lmao when will the hurting stop

ireland and denmark reunited

The what now

mou extends, ffs

What's the deal with Sanchez's missed drug test? Is this some supreme clowning of Mourinho on Wenger's part or something?

Lucas fuckin Moura tho

One moussa sissoko quite enough for any team you'd have thought. 25 million worth a punt of in today's money though

literally the Brazilian Andros Townsend

A bargain at the price

Sanchez is being booed by.. the Yeovil crowd

Isn't de Bildt (RIP) the Dutch equivalent of Somerset? ;)

Yeovil, such a pointless place it makes Swindon seem interesting.

Do you mean the language or a political autonomy? Former could be! :) Latter I'd have to read up about. xp

the darmian green situation looks potentially embarrassing for the mou government

Mix Diskerud signs for... Man City. Is this one of those ploys like when City signed Mooy? Just to try and make some money off the player?

Another source close to Manchester City said Diskerud would train with the club's reserves but is not expected to ever play in a game.

Great stuff.

Sturridge has gone to Albion

Any last minute thrills today? Mahrez to City? Do we not care any longer?

Each club performs to standard of manager regardless of personnel it's all utterly pointless

Well.. yeah. But bantz.

looking forward to a newcastle £35m bid for someone like assombalonga tomorrow

last minute's tomorrow isn't it?

don't think we're going to go for anybody else but the agent rumour mill keeps cranking

Oh I got my days mixed, deadline's not tonight, soz.

Wolves are in for a striker from Bournemouth iirc? Do you need another striker?

suggest that we might be after our old boy Benik Afobe on loan, and only until the summer, but I don't know how seriously to take it, I think this board keeps their cards pretty close to their chest

this bloke was castigating us for not following Derby's model and signing every Champo level striker available the other day
