Lads, it's the Premier League thread - EPL 2019/20

well this game is kinda dishwater atm. Wolves just getting dispossessed and fouling

Looks like Leicester have been all over us first half but it's not on TV and I'm watching Arsenal huff and puff against Newcastle.

On the plus side it usually bodes well for us playing against the run

goal for Wolves overturned by VAR for an incidental, unclear possible handball.

fuck this

extremely harsh hand handball judgement according to 5live

it wasn't even 100% clear that it did hit his arm, it was incidental.

meanwhile the sportscasters are fellating the ref as to how correct he got it.

Diego Jota is having a terrible match

*Diogo

had 1 v 1 with keeper there

i forgot this is the year VAR will ruin the EPL, just like it did our mickey mouse league since last year.

it's been pretty bad in MLS, but only because the refs that PRO hires are too fucking stupid to know how to apply rules

there's gonna be VAR in schoolyard games soon

Wolves-Leicester has been much mor exciting this half.

For the record I hate the way VAR is implemented before we got robbed. Non-intentional handball is a slightly different stupidity

for me, being a fan of NFL football and watching that game getting micro-officiated into the ground for hte last decade, this feels more like that.

I don't mind it for like, possible red cards that were missed

i hate it for PKs because every little contact looks savage in slow motion

Pedro / Mount / Barkley / Abraham front four for Chelsea today.

Make me bet I say Chelsea edge it but

meh, 0-0 draws are so much fun, thanks VAR!

three teams, two points. not a great sporting weekend, but take one on the road.

Wolves easily dispossessed throughout the match though.

Bit of a gutter after scoring but i'd've took a point at Leicester

yeah and they def were the lesser team so.

ok I guess I root Chelsea now since they have my country's only good player

plus I used to work for Aon and I hated that fuckin company so fuck Man U

feel like Man U are gonna get stomped at home

Plucky amateur hour looks very open right now. Abraham and Mount look very up for it.

surprise, our nonexistent midfield is getting ripped to shreds

Luke Shaw getting caught out a lot. Pedro looking good for Chelsea so far

Penaltyball?

no wayyyyyyyyy

Bring back sarriball

Laughably inept defending from zouma

For the second time. He looks rattled.

Feels like a lucky break for United who don't appear to have realised you need to defend that left hand side.

Wan-Bissaka's going to walk Utd's player of the season I think

They can get two more of these pens and still not wins this, it feels

Shit from Shaw shitter from mount

Not convinced wan-bissaka knows what to do with it in the attacking third

Pogba will be utd's player of the season

My god these last few minutes of football. The ball's just pinging from area to area because neither team has a midfield capable of making a tackle.

That lay off from Martial!!!

Just incredibly poor

More comedy defending, Utd escape

No midfield feels right but y'know

This passing goal kicks within your own area is going to lead to some lol moments this season

Pedro having a shocker

Pogba is a disgrace

well that was a half

pinball

This is doing the rounds and basically the only players from the current 22 who'd get in either of the old teams are the right backs.

it's hilarious really

Maybe Pogba at a push.

Pulisic will be in prior to 70'
