Aston Villa won't win the league - Premier League 2024/25

Christ, Lee Carsley, I'm already yearning for the days of constant lingering shots of Southgate having a think in the stands

Bailey went down screaming and holding his leg after just running with the ball in possession in space, then just got treatment and played 25 more minutes without incident

I don't understand how on earth Unai Emery was the one guy on earth that looked at Morgan Rogers at Boro and figured he'd be effortlessly surging through Premier League defences of given a short run of games

Can't see us keeping Arsenal out with an enforced switch to an 18yo at full-back, but if they can keep it tight til 70 mins...maybe

Ah the consent enthusiast scores, great

Anyone got wolves v Chelsea on? High energy entertaining footy. Thanks for the instagram post Madueke, games better when the teams really hate each other

Wolves looking so up for it and dangerous on the counter that they quite simply will not score today

Luckily I'm too hungover to get a stream on

Lol. I can’t believe it’s not 3-2 to wolves already tbh. No more goals in this game would be so cruel

You should flick it on, Wolves’ attack is vicious and Chelsea’s defence is barely hanging on

It's on the radio but I'm superstitious about following us on the BBC

There it is. Don’t say i didn’t tell ya

nice

Clearly not watching us is working out for me so far

somewhat surprised VAR didn't find a way to chalk that off

Maybe we're getting cashback for last season's relentless shafting

Wasn’t the biggest fan of the tackle that led to that goal but I’ll chalk it up to my bias

Omg lol

Desperately unlucky

This has had about three matches' worth of great dribbling already

WOOOOOOOOW!!!!

Omg this game hahahaha

Bag Chelsea all you want, we are the entertainment the premier league needs. WHAT A GOAL!

illegal goal kick to set it up though maybe...?

Lmao this rules!

What was illegal about the goal kick? Didn’t see.

It really does. inevitable that as soon as it hit the 50th minute we were getting another goal

ball was still rolling

some guy on my stream just said VAR can't check restarts though

yay Larsen off the mark

2nd yellow

He absolutely HATES them

Ait-Nouri should have been off yeah

Gusto could have gone in the first half too

Madueke has been very good

Gusto felt more 50-50 to me. Wouldn’t have called it unfair if he got sent off there, though maybe a bit strict. Ait-Nouri much more cynical/clear-cut

Palmer and Madueke have basically combined for the same goal three times

Yep! The lead up has been pleasantly diverse every time tho. I have not seen Chelsea play with this kind of confidence in Lord knows how long. Early, but Maresca looking like the real thing. We’ll see how/when/if the league eventually figures them out

Crikey.

Just watched this on tape delay.

Christ. Wolves defending is a shambles rn

Maybe they were also hungover

missed this one

What’s the point in VAR if this ain’t a straight red card then 😂pic.twitter.com/UkhhbfRV8l

just a bit of banter really

lol that's a red card in rugby nowadays

Eriksson was coming to the end of his tenure at Manchester City while on a post-season tour to Thailand.

“One morning when I was on a sun lounger by the pool, he walked towards me with a bottle of champagne and two glasses on it,” Hamann said.

“It was still only 10 in the morning. I looked up and said, ‘Boss, what are we celebrating?’ expecting him to make the triumphant announcement he was staying.

“He turned to me and smiled that gentle smile of his and took the air of a Buddhist philosopher, as he said, ‘Life, Kaiser. We are celebrating life’.”

We can confirm that Matt O'Riley has joined English Premier League side, Brighton & Hove Albion.

i can see that working out for all concerned

lol

Chiesa has never looked the part when I’ve seen him but what do I know? He was really highly spoken of for a while, 10m seems like a steal.

he came out of the traps like the next big thing but otherwise all i know of him is injuries

I keep forgetting we have Guedes
