Fuck Off Back To The Little Leagues: EPL 21/22

Wolves not the team to watch this season if you're looking for goals and excitement.

he had a good season in 2019-2020. scored the winners in both wins against Manchester City, which made him kind of a hero.

last year, he came down to earth a bit.

I want to walk back my criticism a bit, I think he might be immense under a good coach like say Klopp. But so far in his career just a waste

RAUL!!!!!

FUCK YES

well fuck me, season starts here

that was classic Raul. glad to see that again

Genuinely happy for him, that was great

lead won't last long the way Wolves are defending

Ach, I'm raising a glass of clear spirits for NV while it lasts

Podence off, thank god

I loved him last season. This season so far, eh

i've been reading about this. the EPL is on the lower scoring end of all the leagues. they're not the lowest, but for whatever reason, there aren't a lot of goals.

i don't know when this article is from, but they gathered some stats here:

https://bleacherreport.com/articles/1922780-statistically-ranking-the-worlds-top-10-football-leagues

would people be interested in a "what's your favourite football league" poll? it seems like there are a lot of EPL fans on here, but it would still be kind of fun to see what the results are

i just finished watching the AZ-GAE match and the final score was 5-0

haven't watched, if the score stays like this i might have to not watch us for the rest of the season

Fucking robbery if it stays this scoreline tbh

Jose Sa has had a good game

Definitely

sometimes you need to shithouse a win

Not been that shithousey? just a dull match that Soto deserved to edge

The Dutch league's always been high scoring. Goals are no guarantee of entertainment... or quality.

Raul motm? dunno about that. Basically they looked poorer than those 0pt matchs earlier, but yeah that goal deserves All The Plaudits

yeah hard to say "ship is righted" when your opponent fires off 18 shots (13 on target) at you and just bottle the finishing

victory! of sorts. i'll take it.

hopefully a bit of confidence for players and manager, a boost for Raul, another week to work on the issues. reading about the game and listening to the last 20 minutes is worrying when we were playing so well a few weeks back

Yeah Raul scoring I assume is the main factor, hopefully the first of many

ESR makes old school arsenal runs, he finds that place in the 6 yard box, so needed in this team

Spurs’ midfield looks adrift. No strategy going forward, no ability to stop Arsenal when they attack.

that's true. maybe if you add higher possession in the last third, that may make it more entertaining

I've got my window open, I'm guessing Arsenal are 2-0 up?

Yep.

Indeed.

Arsenal crowd isn't usually that loud tbh.

lovely interplay between aubamayang and ESR, Smith Rowe adds a directness with his unselfish, clever movement

3-0?

Yes, shocking performance.

Dearie me.

Could end up six or seven.

that was a great goal by saka

Yeah, good goal.

They might as well be playing the under 18s.

This is getting ridiculous

lol, kane crucial in the build up play there, drops like a sack of spuds for the initial error and then manages a sliding tackle that somehow avoids the ball completely, allowing saka clean through..it was a good looking tackle, zero contact with anything useful, but it looked good, thanks 'arry

all show and no go, lol. sorry.

The amount of space Arsenal have on the wings is unbelievable. It’s like Spurs are playing without fullbacks.

Nuno now 19/10 favourite to be the first manager sacked.

Jose also 2-0 down after twenty minutes in a derby at the moment tbf.

love that arteta has accommodated ESR and Saka, in a workable team, finally...for ones so young, they have literally years of experience playing together, coming through the academy at arsenal, that understanding is priceless for a coherent attack, at this level, we are decisive and threatening

glad to see Smith Rowe has finally scored in the PL

Four?

no he scored the first goal

No, I can hear the crowd from my flat and that sounded like another goal.
