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

lol at Joao's wrestling move there

I know right?

lol Leeds have Jack Harrison, he started in MLS. saw him in person a few times

Lol the Mexican Sensation, VAR that fucker

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

just like they drew it up

textbook header tbh

Jimenez with the ball at his feet surrounded by defenders is truly a joy to watch.

love the dude

Fuck me thought that was 1-1

Slack defending all round

Gonna be charitable and say Semedo's not settled in yet

Greedy Neves tsk tsk

Patrick Bamford is a clinical pro who will always pop up with a goal and i have nothing negative to say about him

lol only joking, wasteman

i don't think we've played 30 minutes of good football so far this season but we're sixth and a point behind Liverpool, i'll take it

haven't found their footing yet but doing a heck of a lot better points-wise than they were last year at this point, so....

I'll take.

lol xposts

Very Leeds-like performance from Wolves there, almost like they out-Leedsed Leeds. Bielsa will allow himself a wry smile at the student becoming the master, even if momentarily. It's quite sweet really, you would almost say you respect it. If that contributes towards Wolves finishing within ten or so points of Leeds they can certainly say they've had a good season
(c) All Leeds Fans

we're just happy to make up the numbers, y'know, it means nothing until we've got those 40 points in the bag

impossible to say how good either of these sides are

Both top half I reckon, Leeds lost but still looked considerably better than, say, Southampton and they appear to have half decent squad depth as well.

You lads could maybe use a Wolves thread

This thread turning into a wolves thread > this thread being a spurs thread

Altho I am of course an aficionado of dirty leeds as long as bielsa is at the helm

I can't even slag them off any more now we have another impressive Bielsa protegee leading a quiet revolution at our club, with Bielsa turning up at games when he can, and us signing impressive Spanish players that would probably ended up at Leeds if they hadn't gone up this season. It hurts me to say it, but I do like Leeds Utd under Bielsa,

After the two years of shit I've just witnessed I'll take being a Leeds Utd b-side (still with some residual German dna from the Wagner era) if performances continue to improve as they have done recently.

Agreed but I doubt even during peak spurs a drab 1-0 on a Monday night could've generated 70+ posts. V impressive

ILF is a ghost ship

keep it here lads

It's like you've already forgotten what Deems was like in full flow.

Thought it was a pretty absorbing game tbh, not at the level of the madness we've seen lately but there was some decent football in a finely balanced game between two emerging sides with highly technical managers. Admittedly I had some significant fantasy league skin in the game but also for real it's on a Monday night in the middle of a pandemic and the football has been a bright spot and an immensely fun distraction.

Likewise it was a strong night for my fantasy team too, which is what I'm concentrating on after a harrowing Saturday of irl football

it was one of those games where there wasn't enough happening to stop me posting tbh

Lol

at least you lot have something more to say than "we lost and Solskjaer hasn't a clue why" or "we won and Solskjaer hasn't a clue why"

Ordinary people talking about fantasy football is one thing.

But BBC commentators and pundits constantly talking about it, during coverage of actual football - dreadful.

It is always dreadful in all circumstances and I'm so glad that my relentless bullying put a stop to it on here

I made a player who was in a notably good run of form my "triple captain", but they then missed a penalty or failed to achieve anything of note during the relevant game - how could this have happened?

Furthermore, I bet a moderate some of money on a particular outcome of a match. The outcome was at one point possible, but then changed due to one or more events in the game and I did not win any money

Let me tell you about these dreams I've been having-

*sum

Am I the only ilx footy kru member still completely put off by the sound effects? Haven't been able to even half enjoy a match this rona-period. I just can't.

was watching on NBC last night and the sound effects either weren't there or were really muted. still think it's worse with no white noise at all tbh

BT have been showing all the games on one of their other channels sans crowd noise xp

It's quite good as you can hear all the players/managers swearing at each other all game

I don't get how the fake crowd noise in a visibly empty stadium is any less uncanny than just being able to hear what's really happening

they should just pipe through Google's microphone-snooping feed of every illegal streamer as they munch on prawn crackers and occasionally swear

The fake noise is dire and ridiculous.

I'm in favour of the crowd noise but they should probably consider adding canned laughter this season

just add Henny Youngman routines to Fulham's matches

Yakety-sax on repeat, idc. I just can't get over thinking "wow, someone's actually choosing to play the sound of the home crowd whistling in fury because of a supposed dive by someone from the visitors... does that make sense or is the one guy controlling the audio just trolling rn?" Not particularly helpful thoughts when trying to enjoy a match tbh. It's probably me.

best job in the world tbh

every manager ever - players are being asked to play too many games

owners - let's have some more midweek games in the weeks when no CL and a play off at the end of the season

fifa - we'll run it seeing as we're masters of probity

also can i just lol at chelsea naming petr cech in their 25 man prem squad. with vvd out lfc might as well name lawro.

The EA FIFA in game oohs and ahs seem more convincing and better timed. There must be a way to hook up the game to real time football feeds.

Maybe replace all the banners with green screen as well and have a proper fake crowd with pies and phones and and guys waving to the screen instead of the camera.

Cech even now probably an upgrade on Kepa.
