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

Intrigued you can kick someone in the head, at shoulder height, in the box and not give away a penalty.

ASM is such a delight. Newcastle don’t deserve him.

only just now watching y'days motd. wrighty with the dmx tribute!!!

Havent felt less like watching a spurs game since avb vs liverpool

idk if you can disallow a goal for that.

Get tae fuck

That should be him off tbh his first yellow was a shocker and there should have been no leeway for him after

Lovely goal.

Well I'm a bit ticked off now

I could understand it tbf

Cavani devastating for that disallowed goal, the gulf between his movement and diers would just make you aghast they play the same sport rly

Giving up handy chances now, midfield is vacant

Cavani's love for a diving header another extremely pleasing aspect of his game

Fully deserved that, tho tbh id get sick enough of hearing sky insist a team beating us was great as opposed to having the ball and space presented to them very frequently.

Id swear commentary and analysis of the interesting moments just gets dumber every year

Cavani was outstanding, as was shaw on the ball

Thought we were lively but not doing enough in front of the defence all game and dier obviously just had no interest at any stage of working hard or smart enough to handle cavanis movement, he was a coward for that second goal and tbh i wasnt fucked bothering to watch the third except to note that if i am subbed on instead of sissoko i think we draw that game

Henderson was very good too

On Solskjaer's claim that he would not feed his own son if he acted like Son, Mourinho said: "Sonny is very lucky that his father is a better person than Ole.

"Because a father you always have to feed their kids, no matter what they do. I am very, very disappointed. Bread is bread, cheese is cheese."

Yeah Henderson v unshowily handled his business

The Wolves/Spurs thread unifies at last

Wolves boss Nuno Espirito Santo is reportedly being eyed by #THFC amid uncertainty surrounding the future of Jose Mourinho...👀🗞

Solve the problem of scoring first and going on to lose / draw by never scoring first.

Who hasn't been linked with the Spurs job? This one sounds plausibe though.

Thoughts at our end that Nuno might want away. Who can say? I'm not judging him on this season personally but the honeymoon is v much over.

what a flop

Terrible ref, terrible decision not to at least get him to review it.

also was Kane not offside on his goal? i figure i missed something

As bad an attacking outfit as i can remember in thirty odd years

And certainly defensively no better than par for us

Lower midtable next year without massive turnover of players

Penalty for me. Contact doesnt have to be brilliant when you run into the back of a guy taking a shot.

No protest from reguilon, who was stupid to do it and on a wider point worryingly miles behind play for the millionth time in the last few games

He was going down before Reguilon touched him.

Torn apart by mediocrity here

Horrific tbh

i swear to god there's a conspiracy to keep these bums in the Prem

I take no pleasure in this

Couldn't find a cropped image of the actual Onion one sorry

Clinical counterattack that, shonky defending in the run-up tho

🚨 Official statement.

12 football clubs today jointly announced an agreement competition, the Super League.

AC Milan, Arsenal , Atlético, Chelsea, Barcelona, Internazionale, Juventus, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United, Real Madrid and Tottenham have all joined.

condolences to anybody losing their team to this shitshow but let's assume it's really not gonna happen

I find it hard to believe that it’ll go ahead if it means anyone participating will be banned from international football, etc.

I see some of the top German clubs still have some class about them

Juve have apparently said that all the clubs intend to remain in their domestic competitions, so I guess they want to position it as a Champions’ League with zero risk of not qualifying.

We’ll see who blinks first.

lol I remember when the Bradford City chairman Geoffrey Richmond was part of a prem 2 plot, for clubs that were too shit too stay up. Hopefully this goes the same way.

Good riddance, fuck the lot of them.

there goes Liverpool's bullshit "club of the people" rep

Good old Spurs eh?

Tottenham joining a European super league is like Bananaman getting called up as an Avenger

— Kai Humphries (@kaihumphries) April 18, 2021

Arsenal ffs.

Newcastle heavily tipped to be the 7th.

Hopefully they’ll be admitted and the Saudi deal will fall through so they just have to muddle through with Steve Bruce and Jonjo Shelvey.

that's what draws the big TV money

No clubs are clubs of the people unless they are owned by fans which means about 3 or 4 in the EFL and none in the prem. The change in the champions league that was gonna happen on Monday would ruin the competition anyway. Sheer folly to change the CL as is IMO. I like it with one group stage then knock out with group stage determined by domestic league finish. LFC fan here but if they can't finish top 4 then they shouldn't be in it just cos they were good a couple of seasons ago. Roll my eyes when uefa and prem go on about greed and competition tho when they are just as self serving and greedy as the 'top' clubs, and as for any outrage from them on behalf of fans they can get fucked.
