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

nothing special, danny ings did it the other week

lol no it was pretty good though, better than the ings one

I was definitely coming here to say it was ridiculous, I was going to kind of elongate it a bit

Gotta find joy where you can when your team doesn't even exist

Yes, the ladies just lost 7-0 to Man City so not much help there. Will the 16:30 deliver any kind of worthwhile schadenfreude at all? We'll see

It really is disappointing how the last ten years have seen English women's domestic football attain the same dull hierarchy as the men's

Former top-flight regulars like Notts County copping a few desultory 11-0 thrashings on their way to fuck off to the little leagues forever

That was good

Embarrassed by our central defenders again but that were good

Harry Maguire. £80million.

It bears repeating.

my 'Luke Shaw for England' campaign showing no sign of abating

Rashford really leading Britain's line isn't he, streets ahead of the pack

blitw

Without their traditional long-ball tactics you have to say Liverpool look pretty toothless

Off you fuck Frank

this is some nil-nil

well it was

didn't notice the Rodri offside

shocker

aww that was a peach

Liverpool have had 22 shots and essentially no chances. Burnley penalty.

Burnley goal.

how much time left?

Three minutes.

oh no!

klopp out

Origi should have scored when clean through in the first half but there has been next to nothing else.

I recall Klopp struggling to manage Dortmund out of a slump but I can’t imagine Liverpool can be this bad for long.

liverpool need to FOTTLL imo

Cursed season

I spend more and more of my life in sickened disbelief at the rabble we fail to beat tbh

what the fuck has Klopp done to Shaqiri?

Liverpool need to go back to basics

Pumping it in the mixer brought them some brief success. They can't turn their noses up at it now

gifting 3 pts to BNP fc is a bloody crime against humanity m8!

it is kinda funny that the defence is fine. they should move fab back into the mf play the rookie CBs and revert back to fun lfc circa 3 or 4 seasons ago. not sure they have the energy to play that anarchic style atm tho. thiago clearly the man to help us control games which he does in a way that renders the forwards ineffective in combination with their lack of form. it's interesting to me how city have managed the controlled almost bloodless economical efficiency that a covid season requires which I think lfc were looking for this season. just hope they are better for when the Leipzig games roll around.

oof

Breaking news, apparently it *is* possible to sack a tory for poor performance

hah hah! laters fwank!

I'd love to see Wrighty's face and Lineker's face and Shearer's face etc etc on hearing the news.

usually getting beat in the championship playoffs at an overspending club in your first full season doesn't get you promoted up to Chelsea manager. If that cunt had been sat on top of an ICI smokestack he couldn't have had more smoke blown up his arse.

tuchel incoming

Newcastle are hopeless without ASM.

I am not sure there is a worse player who is so absolutely pivotal to how their team plays than Shelvey.

Heh yes, the "key player and that, in itself......" analysis

City trundling their way from 16th or whatever to the top in 5 months while we went through 8 league leaders seemed somehow inevitable this season.

Its why cameras move around a lot during a marathon

Also why you should only check in every third or so of the contest and maybe then the last half hour

I like this analogy because it makes my team one of the charity runners dressed as the pink panther or something, or maybe one of those comedy Jesuses (Jesii? Jesuodes?) running while 'carrying' a cross with wheels on the end.

Dier would still let that cross go over his fuckin head mind

Dele Alli falls for third time

VAR says no penalty

Lol

Jesus denied by Peter, an absolute rock today Brian

curse the british punditry class for making me want chelsea to succeed this season just for the pleasure of seeing their sour faces. 'i'm sure the feeling won't last but i find it disquieting anyway.
