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

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

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

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.

United will win this.

a bit soft but you can't raise a hand there etc

You’d imagine a 26-year-old England defender would know this, but no.

Dier again.

Never a pen.

this'll be overturned

it's taken four games but an actual match has broken out

Good game that. Felt like proper football again.

Seemed like a bit of a warm up game for united, lots of stuff not fully clicking

First 20 mins of second half was atrocious from Spurs. The chance Martial had blocked from an exquisite Bruno pass put me in mind of an old nakh post where he raves about the shooting technique of Samuel Eto'o. An Eto'o or a Romario would have got that shot off with minimal backlift and therefore more quickly instead of Martial's big swing. Nice save from Hugo shortly after.

Was Lucas not available tonight cos I can't believe they had Kane see out the whole game?

Couple of lovely flat crossfield passes from pogba and of course putting clown shoes on Eric Dier.

Guessing Moura was the covid player.

Fabulous couple of touches there

Yep. Two superb goals.

hate Watford but lol

i can't believe I finally get to watch a Wolves match after what seems like centuries.

i know even tho i hate crowdless games and they shouldn't have restarted i can't help myself

yeah I"ll feel cognitive dissonance, but not having a tv to scream out for the usual 8-10 months of the year across all the sports I watch has left me empty and injured. so I guess I'll manage.

lol

COME ON ME BABBIES

LOL Arsenal, too long since I've said that.

plus ca change

Gotta say the minute's silence has been immaculately observed since the restart
