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

LiVARpool

yeah something tells me that when hands are tight to the body and you're not looking at the ball, a penalty is hardly just

Lol I think we've comfortably had more var calls go against us than anyone this season

obviously that has nothing on the penalty that's going to be given to liverpool to win it ;)

The measure is more properly incorrect var calls, or calls not referred to var that shouldve been

How one would measure this, idk

The inevitability of those handballs being given til the end of the season hasn't diminished their tedium in the slightest

I was sick of them in may last year tbph

A good weekend for... *scans table*... Southampton?

tbaf, Fulham's goal could easily have been VARred out of existence for a tiny shove on Salah so

I was amazed it wasn't

imo spot Liverpool a goal or two, u no they're good for it

Leicester are at it

I cannot remember a more uninspiring Arsenal team than this

I mean they're not going to be relegated. That would be absurd

Let’s pray today is the day Aubameyang ends his goal drought. We truly need him firing.

lol

Seems like he's been in pipe and slippers mode since he wangled that lucrative new contract.

Herbert Chapman didn't gun down John Lennon in cold blood and bring a crude version of the 3-4-3 to the British game only to witness the bleedin' Gunners getting turned over by dour wooden clog wearing cunts like Burnley a century later. He'll be spinning int ground enough to power all the factories in Woolwich tonight, Brian.

I think youll find they havent the players for a rotation policy, calz

lol!

It's quietly beautiful that the fans are already booing in the Emirates library.

Quietly, sure

Poor old Kieth will be beside himself.

*checks earpiece* no it still hasn't been confirmed that Kieth is even aware of this result yet, give it a few more days for it to reach his office.

lol i forgot to add #one thread

I believe they should bring Wenger back.

I have a half-baked theory that unless you're George Graham or Alex Ferguson, the authoritarian managerial approach has a limited shelf life and Wilder has pissed enough of his players off that they've just given up. Either way they're making Saints look amazing so I'll take it.

Have been thinking the same thing a lot recently. His whole shtick of balling the players out in public got a lot of plaudits for being "straight-talking" but it must wear very, very thin. His signings of Rodwell, Ravel Morrison, Jagielka and Ramsdale are extremely suspect. I don't know if SU are just content to go down with him, but if they want to have a hope of staying up he's gotta go.

What the fuck, I didn't even know he signed the first three of those lol

That is a Full Relegation Flourish

The first two especially reek of hubris and believing one's own hype - that sense of 'I'll succeed where others have failed'.

rodwell hasn't been a footballer for like 3 or 4 years.

guess he's holding out for utd but would be quite interested in seeing what poch could do with dortmund. gio reyna is quite something.

arteta's post match insistence that arsenal are playing well gives me strong roy hodgson at lfc vibes.

just realised we're on Amazon tonight, nice

Reassuring to know that no matter which upstart channel are covering the football the commentary team will still be all over the dick of the big boi clubs

Meh, working. Gonna hope to keep the cell phone offscreen while i teach lol

First time my new fibre broadband has had a proper run out, going great so far.

Disappointing if we play on the counter against this rabble

We really lack an edge at the moment

yr edge had his skull caved in tbf

speaking of which how is the poor bastard doing

seems well, he's at home, just got to rest and give it time, nobody's publicly talking about a date for return

even with Raul fit tho we need more players contributing more goals

Something inherently annoying about Silva

Which one?

Not as annoying as Mason Cunt

Lovely goal from Podence, needs to trust himself more

the poodle-haired chap who was standing a mile offside for his disallowed goal

still like Podence tho

I am v hopeful for Fabio but I don't care how old he is I was fucked off with that offside

Podence could be a great number 10, that's one reason I think we should be moving to a back four

haven't been impressed by Havertz at all either

although I have a suspicion Lampard doesn't really know what to do with him
