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

moving chorus of "I'm Forever Kicking Tiddles" here at West Ham

bielsa sacking and leeds decline yet more fuel for my opinion that patrick bamford is the most important player in the prem. #notawasteman

weird almost box midfield Wolves first half, not enough width from Hwang or Trincao, not enough flair or pace either, but fair enough in the circumstances, plenty of that on the bench if we need to

pundits pointing at Fabio but he's still my baby and i'm not prepared to hear a bad word about him yet

Missed most of first half, but I'm here!

FUCK

poor defending that

Silva doing decent box work

Thank God for Sa

savage knee to the groin for Cresswell there

Kilman lucky not to give a pen and get a red there

nobody looks on it here, i know he made a lot of changes but some of these should be taking their chance

Yea Kilman perilously close to a "fuck it, see you next week" moment there

Double sub Moutinho and Jimenez? Idk what will rev them at this point

Neto's coming on, that mix of excitement and worry kicking in

The only real attacking chances have come from getting the ball on Silva's foot at the front of the box.

Gotta find other entry points as West Ham seem comfortable

hope i didn't frighten my neighbours when i smacked the table after another failed backheel 1-2

I also yelled at the TV.

Meh. Shit week for Wolves but sched coming up is favorable

too many of ours didn't look like they were in a big game. West Ham are pretty good and I'm guessing most of the changes were in service of neutralising them but we had no ideas and no flair until Neto and Podence came on, and since we don't have Adama to make up for no ideas and no flair this is what you get. nice bit of fitness building for Neto tho, no point overdoing it but his feet look fine. i'd like to give Fabio more game time alongside Jimenez but then you're looking at a back 4 and i still don't think we've got the central defenders for that

anyway yeah frustrating as this week has been the real real moment of truth is that next run of 6-8 games

Alisher Usmanov has just had his assets frozen by the EU. I’d guess the U.K. will do the same.

Everton’s line that UMC Holdings, which provides a lot of their money through sponsorships and loans, etc, is a different company to the US-sanctioned UMC LLC might not hold any water if so.

Beyond that, I guess it comes down to how deeply the government wants to dig. Moshiri is not Russian but accumulated ‘his fortune’ through UMC, Usmanov’s company. In practice, it is a fairly open secret that he’s the owner on paper because Usmanov, who continues to provide most of the finance, wouldn’t have passed the Fit And Proper Person Test.

Chelsea reportedly up for sale, with Abramovich wanting £4bn.

daniel levy sell spurs buy chelsea challenge cunt

Starting bid £100m structured over seven years, plus Harry Winks.

aiui, Abramovich has ‘lent’ Chelsea £2bn and wants that back, in addition to the club’s valuation of £2bn, which seems completely improbable.

Time to throw them out of the league

Tuchel whingeing about being asked questions about Abramovich was truly pathetic, you're the one that signed up with the bastards, you cunt.

Everton announce they have suspended all commercial sponsorship with Russian companies USM Holdings, MegaFon and Yota. 🔵 #EFC

"Everyone at Everton remains shocked and saddened by appalling events in Ukraine. Everyone providing full support to Mykolenko and his family".

Great to see them stepping up and suspending all sponsorship from the guy who owns them.

I think Tuchel has been quite honest and straight forward these last few days; not really hiding at all, when it would have been easy to do so.
But I’m not sure what good it does to grill him on this issue just because you can’t speak to Abramovich directly.

im of similar mind

either straight up ask him and every player in similar boar "how dyou feel about taking oligarch money" or suck it up as the passive press you are the rest of the time

seems to me tuchel answered questions on abromovich the first 4 or 5 times and then got tired of being expected to answer the same slightly reworded question and variants another 4 or 5 times.

has pep been asked re zinchenko what his thoughts are on the clubs owners abstaining in UN vote about Ukraine?

he should be but again imo on a personal level- pep you take a huge salary from this regime is it moral

fuck em all

Raul Jimenez on the bench....interesting. Neto starting.

tired, below his best tho still better and more important than the idiot section gives him credit for. fingers crossed for Neto. is Fab starting then?

Wolves playing as if they've never seen a press before

And conceded. Awful

Just got to the pub in time to see our score and West Brom go 1 up

Shd've stopped in

and a PK conceded. and no question on that one.

piss poor defending. what the fuck.

c'mon Sa.

welp.

Hindenberg level performance this half

Better not go out for the rest of the season

Villa have...gone absolutely fucking mental

Toney! Toney! Toney! (“Feels Good”)

this was absolutely necessary for Brentford, still think they're in trouble but

Wolves more like poodles amirite

*middle finger*

Checks table

elanga's lay off for utd goal was lovely in a tight area.
they'll lose but utd have looked decent.

can't watch these true life murder programmes
