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

Offside or handball or what

Nope

Souness going in so hard on bale after this match that im actually googling to make sure he is still white

This is possibly the perfect Leeds performance in the first half - having a goal ruled out for being 2mm offside and then immediately conceding two due to catastrophic defending.

Wilder gone

game's gone sensible!

I reckon the letter's dated 15 November and it got lost in the post

carrying that downward momentum from a disastrous Prem season into the Championship with the same manager rarely seems a good idea. Although Norwich seem to have bucked that trend in good style this season, but the manager didn't fall out with the owners and lose the dressing room.

The owners seem to have had a huge amount of patience with him. aiui, they tried to introduce a new DOF position after Wilder spent £90m on Brewster, Berger, McBurnie, Ramsdale and Mousset, and he objected.

Sheffield United have not sacked Chris Wilder, sources indicate. Clearly a fast-moving situation & may change soon, but as things stand he remains a SUFC employee. More @TeleFootball

‘Dwight McNeil golazo’ is something I hadn’t anticipated needing to type.

Burnley are killing Everton.

this is a glorious mullering

Enjoy the little leagues gammon utd

caek to thread pls

bananaman prolly just radge at the prospect of more A23 derbies next season, which would be quite odd tbf as they're usually guaranteed 4 points from them

"gammon" is an unfair slur on a club from a cosmopolitan city with a proper theatre and stuff, especially as it looks like the real gammon club are going to remain in the prem again with a little help from their friends!

I can't stand Wednesday myself, but we usually insult them as "The Massive" because their fans have often been as big-club delusional as that lot up the road.

This is an alarming start from Spurs.

Its not untidy tbh its just very passive

Rabona!

that sounded entertaining

He absolutely doesn’t want to use his right foot for anything other than balance.

was just reflecting on his previous rabona goal

was quite the move, featuring an extremely lengthy moura run where he was fouled about 3 times

Sick goal.

Clinton and the radio commentator just spent two minutes struggling to remember the word "rabona"

moura dribble, raking bale crossfield, volleyed reguilon cross, rabona nutmeg finish

Erotic

deems feeling again, for the first time in months

Feeling like we should be two down tbh

strongly doubt this is the final scoreline

Doherty has been abysmal.

was just gonna say exactly that

you'd think Mou would've stopped playing him in a defensive position by now

martin tyler literally losing his concept of time

Its the players around doherty giving him no chance also tbh

Spurs centre halves defending crosses without reference to the opposition players consistently confuses me.

What do they think would happen to a cross if they marked the men trying to score from it, i wonder

Its a very very curious trait, really. The "we dont mark" approach.

I wonder when it will start to work.

Hojbjerg has sidefooted it to arsenal players all game

Not a great platform that

Sheff Utd have always had a strong whiff of gammon to me, more so than Wednesday, or other yorkshire teams apart from the obvious. Probably the Warnock connection, then the reaction of many of their fans to the Evans case, added to by Wilder's bizarre recent ramblings. But maybe it's just an unfair personal prejudice, as are the rest of my opinions on football clubs.

"gammon" is an unfair slur on a club from a cosmopolitan city with a proper theatre and stuff,

As a native londoner(ish), I have to let out a condescending bastard patrician chuckle at 'a' proper theatre. Also, check where Millwall play.

I feel like Burnley are the whole gammon club like a gammon stick of rock. That time their fans looked like befuddled 18th century time travellers dispersing from Wembley. The time their fans gave a supportive ovation to an ex-player against Brighton who was in trouble for racially abusing another player. The time they tried to do stats based moneyball with a commodore 64 and computer told them Brian Laws was the best manager outside the prem. Ah you know all the rest!

OTM.

you spend 7 years in the prem, suddenly everyone's theatres start to look inadequate

i bet the burnley playhouse are planning something well cultured for after lockdown

this is quite the rollercoaster read
