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

xp Tottenham

lol

Disgraceful from FA putting out 6 teams today with 1 day off.

Palace didn't particularly exert themselves on boxing day to be fair

You're right tho - neither of our teams have exactly got an easy game to to follow up with either!

at least i guess it's more or less equally shitty for everybody, unless you take squad sizes into account

stupid thing is given no immediate likelihood of pubs opening to watch games in or grounds being open for half the clubs in the league it's kind of unnecessary for the TV companies to pile it on right now

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta says he feels "responsible" for the "suffering" endured by those associated with the club during a torrid run of form.

Arteta finally getting his head round what being a manager entails

Everton vs City is actually off due to City having too much Covid

Is Wilfried Zaha the first player ever to be powered entirely by resentment that they play for Crystal Palace?

Always assumed that was most of our players, but the phenomenon is particularly condensed and potent in wilf's case, yes

Cracking finish tho

Chelsea playing so soon after a saturday night game, there is obviously a conspiracy against Fwank!

Big test of Villa's European credentials innit

Thought that were in from Chilwell, would have been an amazing way for evil to triumph

Yeah made the McGinn one look ordinary

Fair result, decent game, is McGinn on the drugs though how do you run that much in two days

"every day in the EPL, someone is the main character, and your goal is to not be the main character"

wishing i'd put Diego Costa on my christmas list now

Missed the last two matches due to work/life. This one on during my class. Come onnnn...

Gonna have to just fake a 2 hiur diarrhea emergency

been generally distracted or hungover or both over the last fortnight, tonight's game is on Amazon which is a nice easy lie down on the settee at least

Big Sam continuing to work wonders.

he's finally brought out Leeds's true potential

oh dear, looks like they'll have to go back to the 10 - 0 - 0 system until Big Sam gets another idea

Cavani starting v wolves

Lol Nuno playing the kids. Gonna start out quick down the wings I guess, excited to see Vitinha and Hoever getting starts

Fucking Amazon pundits talking like United are Brazil 70

Love 2 be the plucky underdogs

ait-nourri's right foot eh

ball movement's seemed pretty good for Wolves? final product not there but they're getting into good areas.

Played well so far imo, don't wanna kiss of death it tho

wolves have had loads more efforts but utd look much more dangerous. weird one

totally missed that point blank Patricio save in real time. hot damn

One great chance either end

this ref looks like a pub owner

Really pleasing first half from the Wolves, silenced the crowd

been a bit taken aback by how much pleasure I've taken in reading the words "Sheffield United 0" this season.

rashford is having a truly awful game, lad's probably tired idk

I don't think it's unfair to say he's more often average than brilliant.

Not to be all Alan Shearer 'we don't know much about him' but Wolves' recruitment does continue to be a mystery: who is Ki-Jana Hoever?

Sarr is my hero tonight, imago

knew he'd do this eventually

Ffs call the police

another good man you can't keep down is rashford

Hehe. There's no end to the shit I don't know.

he still had an awful game and that was a spawny goal. kept going mind

Was really happy with how our young lads played, but we need to address the number 9 ish. Like I said the other day, a frustrating season but I think there's a lot of promise.

That shot only just squeaked in too, fucking jammy win that

Ffs call the police

:-)

Goddammit

nothing says 'united are back' like a jammy injury-time winner

i'd've been a bit frustrated even if we saw out the draw, if you don't score you're asking for that tbf

Nothing's topping that Brighton game tbf

I think no fans has helped Solskjaer. He always looks so young and gauche in front of a full crowd. Still stuns me that Mike Phelan is coach though. Mike Phelan.
