Alone in the Park - it's the Prem 2020-21 thread

Last time EFC won seven in a row* from the start of the season, Archibald Primrose was PM. Me neither but he seems *awful*.

* granted three of these have been Carob bar cup and two of those opponents I wasn’t even sure were league sides

Oops, flagrant mixing of asterisks there. That’s probably jinxed it.

He's usually referred to as The Earl of Rosebery, or was when I did politics A level anyway.

The upcoming Merseyside derby could be a top of the table clash, when was the last time that happened?

Cavani to Utd appears to be a thing

Wonderful

Newcastle have now scored from five of their six shots on target this season.

Saint-Maximin has been superb again.

Cavani is such a weird move for Utd. P sure he's moved on to the 'frequently injured' part of his career. Still back in the day he had the best movement of any CF I have ever seen.

Everton and Villa the 2 teams that have improved their starting eleven the most in the close season? Guess perhaps Chelsea but would need to see some evidence that Chillwell/Silva/Mendy will work, though it's hard to imagine they could be worse than what came before.

Breaking | Bayern Munich are in advanced negotiations to sign former PSG attacker Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting, according to @SaberDesfa.

Howard Wilkinson's still alive

Pulis or gtfo.

West Ham are completely bossing this. It’ll be hilarious if they start losing games again when Moyes comes back in person.

well i guess i feel mildly better about last Sunday's result now

what's the opposite of a dead cat bounce, Moyes appears to have invented it

if you lose today it'll be time to worry tbh

If we don't win today I'll start to worry, nervy already

Saiss at wing back, hmmm experimentalism until Rayan Ait Nouri arrives

like Kilman tho, nice to see him get a game

who's that little shit holding his face when he wasn't touched

ah, Podence. sorry NV but he's straight on the twat list

he was touched but i know that's your shtick this season <3

that half was so bad the ref couldn't bear to add any time on

telling myself we're in a transitional phase but idk

he got a charge to his shoulder and held his face! hatred of simulation has always been my shtick but i am going all real-man brexit warrior tis true

if it's the same incident he got a hand across the nose/eye, didn't look much but then all Podence did was wince and clear his nose, ref had already blown

dendoncker with a gruesome facial disfigurement there now ;)

physio having a look. all teeth still present

bit more like it

a fist has been put through the face of fulham's shonky defence

Should be level. Lookman is very dangerous.

He looks a player, incredible surge forward to set up that counter a while back

still out of sorts, good job Kamara had a mare, yeah Lookman was good

think the break might be good for us

Not an impressive victory, but a victory.

Attack is inert af rn

no settled wing backs and not playing an attacking mid to make up for that, there's a bunch of things i suspect but i'd like to think this is a transitional thing like i said. also pretty sure this is more points than we had after 4 games last season so nothing to get worked up about yet

time for the ilx derby folks

lol

lol

welp

I can go back to the cricket earlier than expected.

With back four of Aurier, Sanchez, Dier and Reguilon, I will be amazed if it’s the only penalty they get.

wella wella wella

OOF

sounds like i shd've watched this instead of our game

lol again.

Great game so far

lol

lol at all this

everything about maguire is hilarious

GAME DELIVERS

lol x 3

him and pickford always find the perfect facial expressions to match their many calamities.

United could realistically sign Sancho and Cavani and still not improve this team in any meaningful way.

Greatly enjoyed Kane consciously aiming for Luke Shaw's hand there.
