Lads, it's the Premier League thread - EPL 2019/20

Here we go.

Ah shite

All 22 players take a knee before kickoff.

Someone just pressed the ‘celebrate goal’ fake crowd noise, which had me running back from the kitchen unnecessarily.

hi everyone

Come on Villa, Champions League of Rona places at stake here

That looked like it was over the line.

That’s extraordinary.

Dear me, first game back, how does that happen?

They forgot to switch it back on

Goal line tech otm

I'd prefer a cocktail bar background murmur than fake crowd noise tbh

‘System now working’ suggests it’s possible they literally just hadn’t turned it on.

IT FLASHED UP GOAL AT HALF TIME HAHAHA

I hope someone remembered to press the "fuck off ref" crowd noise button when the goal didn't stand.

lmao

People arguing about VAR. The world is normal again.

think we're gonna see a lot more shirt tugging in the box without opposing fans and var to an extent calling it out

So glad it's back lol

Something very right about the first game back being 0-0.

Absolutely hilarious that Mustafi is playing today.

Got to say the fake crowd noise makes a huge difference and I'm glad it's there.

This Norwegian advert for the return of the Premier League is beautiful, brilliant and unsettling in equal measure. pic.twitter.com/EWoHYKIh5s

OTM

de bruyne managing to make football with no crowd noise exciting somehow.

Lads.

I didn't like the fake crowd noise. I found it quite unsettling.

And the Sky Sports anti-racism message felt just a tad cynical considering Murdoch also owns the fucking Sun

Murdoch hasn't owned Sky for over a year now

Well I'll be darned

Sarah Vine seems to think BLM on the shirts is the first time football crowds have been subjected to political propaganda, despite about 18000 minute's silences for our boys and fucking giant poppies and soldiers on the pitch becoming completely routine in the last couple of decades.

xps they did however cut off gary neville last year when we went on about systematic racism and said his views don't echo the networks

we are almost halfway through utd-spurs and nobody has posted, you have forced me to come back from my huff prematurely u dicks

that said, i have v little to say except the reffing has slightly favoured spurs and utd look a bit tedious. probably should have kept my powder dry. ah well

decent away performance from spurs so far

LOTO hasn't gotten into the game yet

Spurs have been ok. United will score at some point though.

Rostov had to play their youth team against Sochi today after the first team was put in quarantine, which seems a bit mean. They scored in the first minute but ended up losing 10-1.

nice and kicky from lamella. kane looks nowhere near fit. hate when teams pull everyone back to defend corners, just leave your 3 weakest headers at the halfway line forcing the opposition to use 4 players to defend them imo.

keane " i would be fighting de gea at halftime i'd be swinging punches"

Thrilling stuff is it?

roy keane is thrilling stuff yes

lol and wouldn't let maguire on team bus

bruno looked ok

i truly pity anyone who's gone to the loo

evra doesn't know how to handle it, the presenter less so

Pogba on.

Spurs desperately need a second. It’s all United.

Bruno is magic

wtf Dier.
