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

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.

Best of luck and thank you, Matt 🍀

£26 million? That'll do nicely.

good to have the adults in charge again!

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

it's a real "lads we can't sell" fest tonight

lol yeah

feel like Gary is thinking "please don't make me put in our real players"

xxp

we've signed 2 fringe Wolves players on loan today... going up.. see youse in 2 seasons

heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy Guedes did something wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

more Lima's work there though

how Lima doesn't start ahead of Doherty god only knows

after last week, that might change.

though nothing more o_O than Sa giving up 6 goals on only 1.85 xG. sounds like Ramsdale deal is dead though, that they're going to settle for Crystal Palace keeper

at this time i'll take anybody who won't trigger my anxiety every time he goes up for a high ball

i see Hodge is one of the players that's gone to Huddersfield, gotta think he'll be good in League 1

I'll tell you something he seems more useful and mobile than an aging Jonathan Hogg as a reliable DM. He'll do for me!

he had a few Prem starts for us and usually looked tidy, didn't do much wrong just never established himself

that's a lovely counter

yeah nice goal by Guedes. hopefully our actual league match on Sat finds us showing up!
