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

Everton should’ve scored three times by now

Maybe years of playing Football Manager has trained me to appreciate fake crowd noise

Be a lot of bookies pissing themselves laughing about now

The away crowd launch a final ‘Liverpool! Liverpool!’ chant, home crowd does nothing to drown it out lol

defining a 'good game' as one where both teams score, there have not been many good games since the restart

Plane has just flew over the Etihad, “White Lives Matter Burnley” wtf pic.twitter.com/BXzOxEbyCM

seeing as away Burnley fans always look like time-travellers from the early 19th century or extras from Peterloo when they get to big cities. I'm amazed they didn't think thee devil's flying machine an unnatural conspiracy of flagrant witchcraft.

Grand club

There's been a joke going round Twitter about Burnley players wearing All Lives Matter shirts so I assume it's someone trolling Burnley fans? Insane thing to do.

it's an expensive way of being a cunt

Yeah I don't think you do this to make a joke about Burnley fans being racist knuckledraggers

Don't think anyone's that committed to the #bants

I've some vague recollection of the Burnley fans applauding an ex-player during a game, who had been accused of racially abusing another player and faced FA charges. lol about an absolute convoluted racist shitfest there!

I meant applauding him in support of his racism!

It's a deranged and expensive thing to do even for straight up Nazis clubbing together.

More to the point what plane company agreed to fly that banner in the first place?

The Lancashire Luftwaffe.

xp

Company that flew it is @AirAds2, feel free to send all the shit their way

Please join us in opposing the Marxist revolution threatening our country.

If only.

that's 5, hope they double it

jfc thought you guys were joking abt the all lives matter stuff

both L2 playoff semis have been cracking if you want a break from this tedium fyi

good lads Leicester, keep dropping points

On the subject of dropping points, I see Spurs are going with Aurier / Dier / Sanchez / Davies again.

thoughts and prayers

This is absolute bollocks and I hate watching it. At no point when we get the ball do I ever think that something might happen.

lol my stream froze AS the ball was played to Son there and I said to myself 'if he scores this is getting VARred by half a foot'

so did it prove

i think that for kane is probably, all things considered, the softest yellow card i've ever seen

lol, was just about to say I was looking forward to seeing which side would make the defensive error to break the deadlock.

Kane!

the most exasperated goal celebration of all time

We've looked much better since Bergwijn and Lamela came on.

ref is a cunt

channeling dmac

RIP big man

I thought Spurs looked pretty good for the last 40 minutes, or so. The problem, at least since Eriksen lost form / left, has been they're completely incapable of breaking down a team committed to defending. They're reduced, for the most part, to hopeful Aurier crosses and shooting from outside the box. When they game gets stretched, they're far more dangerous.

Many West Ham fans seem to believe that their club is going down.

Luckily for West Ham fans Bournemouth are probably worse, but I'm not sure Villa are.

Villa West Ham is the final game. Could be tasty but Villa have quite a few tough matches before then

This would surely be the best squad to get relegated in the PL era?

How long is Haller out for?

Surely not?

West Ham 02-03 was probably the best squad I can remember going down but that was mostly in light of what they went on to do elsewhere.

Carrick, Defoe, Cole, etc yes but there were three Scott Mintos for every Frederic Kanoute. On paper, the current squad looks very solid from front to back.

fulham last season is surely a good shout for that

That Fulham team was one of the worst defences I can remember watching in the PL though.

Current West Ham side is solid enough but completely devoid of ideas or creativity, even before Moyes.

yeah if they go down - still feel maybe not - it'll be purely because Moyes hasn't got his head around the fact that you need to win sometimes
