He's grinning for some reason

Leno: not ready

wa-hey!

🙂

Its good

Very clear penalty

^he's all too ready

A whole season of looking at this thread title :(

you'll love it by september. love it

and let's face it, I spared you someone concocting something ever so delightfully covid-related

I salute Brentford, the new champions.

We'll come up with a better one and its only friday tbf

had your chance imo

It was an unpleasant and awkwardly-timed quandary for us, but we've got to put it behind us, get on with it and wring whatever scant enjoyment we can from the coming season

I quite like oppo fans giving Saka the respect applause, I am beyond being able to hardman that it means the game's gone or whatever

Arsenal getting Delapped again is so beautiful

Kind of hard to argue Leno wasn’t being impeded, tbh.

Roffle

deems in with the 'foul on the keeper' in 3...2...

oh SV got there first lol

Leno isnt impeded hes just surrounded

Joke defending

Fifty years ago a defence would deal with a throw-in that did not initially appear likely to beat the first man

Carragher's gone 1.0 Savage

You could let a ball bounce twice in the street

carra will have relished the opportunity to put the boot in on the arsenal

And you know why? It was oudda respect

both of Brentford's subs being called Mads is somehow hilarious

Danish moneyball regens all the way down

and a Marcus to ruin it

that's a fairly amazing save

Thy was quite a Pro Evo (RIP) passage of play all round

Brilliant save, lovely cutback and hit

Well, that's a vibe

Per a friend

I am not an Arsenal fan, I am an Arsenal masochist. Get it right.

They won't get to play arsenal every week but great start for brentford. Toney looked the business despite not scoring

Actual takeons in the box, forgot that was even allowed

A breath of fresh air indeed

I'm too deeply ensconced in petty old little league feuds to wish Brentford too much goodwill. I want to see them a getting proper arseholing at some point. And the manager is a fucking tool.

classic calz

Arteta really is the David Brent of football, his pep lite football theories simply don't harness much of the talent he has at his disposal. A man lost in sexy football lingo and ideas but unable to see what's in front of him, arteta out...from an arsenal fan!!. Ben White was soo slow to react for both goals, what a nightmare start, welcome to the club, pal!!

that said, i didn't see much preseason but was impressed by partey and felt nkeitah was very sharp and ready.....then both are injured and out for weeks, then BOTH laca and auba get injured days before the season starts?!? Brentford deserved the win against our cursed lot!!

Pogba has three assists inside an hour.

And Bruno completes his hat-trick

Brentford's plunge down the table begins

David Brentford

Fourth Pogba assist too.

I hope Lewis O'Brien is watching this

a beautiful afternoon of football

Nice match Wolves! Missed the goal in real time, but watched it now and what a beaut. I love Raul.

Good win.

only 2 points clear of Man U in the relegation zone tho

LOL Newcastle, worse than Norwich.

Aaron Ramsdale wears Small Gloves, I always rate/fear a keeper with Small Gloves

Okay that was…bemusing.

Repeateadly, Small Gloves, fucksake...

This is a great performance from Liverpool considering they have literally no lineup options

Except benching "Hendo" which I applaud cus he's a fucken wasteman

Jordan Henderson's one (1) skill: when Trent Alexander-Arnold goes forward, he moves slighthy to the right. That's it. That's all he does. Liverpool captain and first choice for England, he moves slightly to the right. See how much better this Liverpool midfield has looked without him, even accounting for the Ox? They have missed Thiago, him and Fabinho have been running shit

haha oh look, another match where liverpool whips major ass

also, hi, i'm here for the man u emergency meeting

there is no emergency, the project is sound, Ole must stay

haha

Manchester United board have decided to fire Ole Gunnar Solskjær after 5 hour internal talk, confirmed. Mutual agreement to part ways now considered. 🔴 #MUFC

Once Joel Glazer approves the decision, it will be confirmed and announced by Man United. pic.twitter.com/e9V7GeLIE7

Looks like Fletcher/Carrick as caretaker

Cool!

Amazing

Wonder what happens if Joel Glazer doesn't approve the decision? Lols all round I shouldn't wonder!

So Spurs under Conte, there's clearly a lot more enthusiasm than under Nuno but this is just a fucken mess, Leeds are running rings around them. Is it maybe possible that these players aren't smart enough to understand tactics and such? Cus I'm sure he must have given them some instructions before they went out, but what am I even looking at here?

The pure entitlement dripping off Kane, how obnoxious does a team have to be to make The Vile Revenant seem the more likable?

Kalvin Phillips has been great, he should sign for a nicer club

Boos at halftime, quite rightly

Different game second half, like phenomenonally

Nonsense isnt it

A game of two halves isn't it Trevor?

Kane is so ponderous

Look they prolly deserve the win for that second half but cmon, first half was pure rank

Dan James Runs Quite Fast, put that on his gravestone

Moura has had a good half

Two breaks in succession totally wrecked by Kane. He is shit tbh

Kane had an ok first half and an awful second

Lucas the opposite

Pass timing and selection and execution generally awful, awful, awful

Pretty slack to work off the ball too

Enjoyed watching the Stevie G-less Rangers getting mugged by Hibs earlier today and was reminded that, even though he won them the league, Rangers' fans never seemed to have much good to say about him or to rate him very highly. So, good luck Villa.

"I will always be as authentic as I can," he said. "If anyone doubts me watch me after those goals. That is real."

this is totally something an actual human being who is real would say

I'm cool with Villa getting the *celebrity* manager they deserve!

It's the assumption he's gunna walk into the Liverpool job when Klopp goes that irritates me, like you did nothing in your years out of football to demonstrate any sort of coaching ability, you just showed that given shitloads of money and openly biased desicions you can elevate a hate group's sidething above a Celtic who just threw that season away for I donno why the fuck, aye you did well with the media in sticking to the big "conspiracy against us" narrative, I don't want that pathetic cunt anywhere near Liverpool, OK you played fairly decent in let's not lie <50 games, but you burned every bridge when you went there. Who was the last guy to go from Rangers to Liverpool? Graeme Souness, the crooked piece of shit, who did his best to destroy the club and they're only now rebuilding. I hope he fails at Villa and Xabi Alonso replaces Klopp

looking forward to the Carrick era

🗣️ Carrick on what changes we can expect: "We will have to wait and see really. I worked with Ole closely, with similar beliefs as a coach and manager. I have got my own personality but it is very similar because that is why we worked together."

— UtdDistrict (@UtdDistrict) November 22, 2021

shoulda hired Paul Carrack instead

"Tempted," "How Long" or "Don't Shed a Tear"?

Oles at the wheel but carricks in the foundations

that doesn't make ole look very good. if they share similar "beliefs," it must've been that people just didn't like ole's personality and/or there was too much baggage. ouch!

Former Newcastle United manager Steve Bruce is said to be "very keen" on the short-term managerial role at Manchester United. The 60-year-old Englishman made more than 300 appearances for United as a player. (The Athletic - subscription required)

Subscription of disbelief maybe

Rangnick as interim is kind of intriguing I have to admit

Yeah this will be worth seeing

Conte isnt going to be able to do much with doherty, sanchez, ndombele or alli based on this showing so far

Or Sessagnon.

Verdict on that pair of bookings?

Cannot see it as anything but two fingers tbh

My commentator has just noted spurs have looked better since his sending off, which yknow fair

rangnik as director of football would worry me a bit. red bull franchise operation recruitment was legit.

he's apparently moving into a two-year consultancy role at the end of the season

remains to be seen what exactly that means though

Conte quotes are correct but worrying

Our players are much worse than anyone might realise when daddy poch isn't using them as avatars.
