Liverpool have 2nd sewn up - EPL 2018/19

Genuinely can't see Newcastle not scoring, even if accidentally.

yes

general play gone very sloppy even tho overall a good performance

Jesus christ.

this is actually jol days defending

the centre halves just not even pretending to concentrate

The state of Cardiff's first XI underlines what a miracle worker Warnock has been. I'm not sure the last team that started a PL season that looked worse on paper.

Time to stick a tenner on Paterson scoring. Love that he's achieved his dream of playing in the Premier League.

Dunno if Colin's a miracle worker or if it's easier to bully Champo officials

either way he'll be fine in this league so

gone by november [/wycleff]

Commentators talking shit, definitely a red

Yea it was a red, glad that wolves got an equaliser, they deserved it

Donkey tackle, great free kick, going OK so far. We look nervy as fuck so

all things considered that was ok

Naby Keita tho

Liverpool look terrifying, Keita has been brilliant so far.

West Ham seem to have decided not to play a midfield tbf

Based on this first half an hour I've seen absolutely nothing to suggest that Liverpool can compete for the title.

Absolutely nothing whatsoever

they've got the linesmen, um, onside already

Feel like Liverpool have missed a real opportunity not to just write 'CAPTAIN' across Milner's headband. It'll probably ruin their entire afternoon when they realise that.

Emery out.

City's three subs today have been Sane, Kevin de Bruyne and Gabriel Jesus.

Lolz.

Beeb p much otm

TWP done good

Insane sequence from Wayne Rooney to save a goal and then assist on one pic.twitter.com/AdcL8CjBJO

Good right back play there

Not so sure about having the keeper up for the corner when you're not even behind.

loooool NV

there it is

levy out

Anyone want to hazard a guess as to what "critical safety systems" means?

shit, I can't believe they used Pimlico Plumbers on such a big job!

sissoko in front of back 4

Find someone who looks at you the way Florent Hadergjonaj looks at Eden Hazard pic.twitter.com/TCTVVXlFW7

can't really blame Hadj, when Hazard came on it was like watching a 5d chess master doing a demonstration to tiddlywinks players.

de bruyne out for three months, potentially

They don't play anyone you wouldn't expect them to beat (Liverpool) til the 6th of October

And City's players tend to come back sooner than expected anyway

we've already established foden is ready

TWP at it again (although the keeper could probably have done better)

rank

couldn't have hit that better for the goalie lol

I'd have saved that ffs

It is easy when everything is good to be there, but when the winter is coming it’s easy to run away. I want to be there on the front line, fighting and trying to win.

“I feel the responsibility to be here and that is why I am. And then because I am happy and I think Tottenham gave us, all the staff, a lot of things that always we will be grateful for. It was a moment to say ‘we are going to be with you all, fighting in the circumstances’ because we knew what was going to happen.”

Asked whether the failure to add to his squad, together with the uncertainty over when the cub will move into the new stadium and the fact so many of his players were away at the World Cup, makes this season the hardest of Pochettino’s time at Tottenham, he replied: “I think yes.

“For everything, for me it will be the toughest season and I think if we want success we have to give more than our best. It’s not enough 100 per cent, it’s 200 per cent. We know from inside that it will be hard, the season, and because we are warriors we want to fight.

“We want to be proud at the end, we want success and we do not want to complain or make excuses. I am a winner and I love the challenge, so that is why I feel full of energy. We want to go again.”

fucking hell my ovaries

not for me to contrast with any other top 6 manager but can u imagine jose in this situation can u

well no, Jose actually wins trophies

may his reign last for 1000 years

KDB out for three months.

City say De Bruyne, 27, has a lateral collateral ligament lesion in his right knee, but does not need surgery.

'Lateral collateral ligament lesion' was Tool's 'New Yersey' iirc

well,... actually..

Watched the first episode of the Amazon City documentary. It's essentially a Pep hagiography, and the fact that season went so well for them makes it inherently less interesting, but the level of access is impressive

0 - Kenedy failed to complete a single pass in the first half against Cardiff City - he is the first outfield Premier League player to fail to complete a single pass in 45+ minutes of play since Nikola Kalinic against Birmingham City in March 2010. Passenger. pic.twitter.com/6EZbhRNI9B

Update: he just completed a pass! Straight red for Hayden.
