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

he's also an avid cricketer

that is not a character flaw

FL doing the post-match interview looks like an unconvincing parody of a football manager from hale & pace

hes gone some size the cunt

that game was tasty enough

there was a Stoke fan poster from a sub football message-board I used to frequent in the previous decade who was a published author of some seemingly very bad books + who lectured at Norwich uni and was a bit of an arrogant dick, but a very very funny poster with it and he hated New Labour with a passion. The poor guy ended up downing a bottle of vodka and jumping off a bridge and ending it 10 years ago. He once posted a list of reasons why Lampard is a cunt that went something like: 1. Lisping Tory Boy Cunt 2. Corporeality... I still don't understand the meaning of 2 and it has stuck in my mind, but 1 perfectly fine (with the caveat I don't judge on speech impediments but in this case...).

lol luiz wtf

x2

xp calz, first result on google:

relating to a person's body, especially as opposed to their spirit.
"he was frank about his corporeal appetites"

lol, that mystery of a decade!

joke not to give that peno on martial

james the new g bale, booked for being fouled?

xxpI knew the definition of the word but my semi-autist brain struggled with the context. fucking hell though - I need to try harder!

total piece of shit tackle there from some BHA thug

Ugh that Burnley goal

unbelievable

amateur

if amateurs are that bar

Are we going to do this every week?

well seeing as we never adjust anything at the back despite seeing these bollocks dropped every week, i dont see why not

left ourselves three against one from absolutely nothing a minute before, that back line is a disaster.

sanchez normally the victim of the other three hiding but no blaming anyone else there, thats just awful from him

500 games in from the lad poch and he only listens to the praise poch out

Spurs fans next to me were pissed. One was about to pay his tab and leave

Meanwhile idk what the Wolves were doing but Burnley had their passing lanes well-marked. Could be 3-0 Burnley if not for the GK

The quality of crossing has been appalling and there are no other ideas atm.

the ball bounced off a newcastle defender in the box there and it was left to be resolved about five mins and nobody in a white shirt wanted to intrude great manners the cunts

kwp tries to concede another and sanchez done his best but fucked it up unlucky son

and i like sanchez and think he carries the can for a lot of system/toby faults but he has been so bad under simple high balls this season that it beggars belief he hasnt gone and taken a youtube course since last week or something

three today hes been like a sick calf under

Clear pen imo.

Shocking.

idk how it could be much clearer. He dived head-first at his legs.

Yeah I'm surprised he didn't give a peno there

the actual fuck

theory: gap between ref saying "ill let var see that more clearly" and var saying "weve an onus not to overrule the ref unless clearly wrong" is going to be a big fucking cunt-up all season

real avb stuff this

this has two nil all over it what a fucking shower

Looks like the Premier League noticed everyone was pissed off about VAR and concluded that the main point of contention was all those pesky correctly awarded penalties

That was an obv pen in the Spurs match. Shocking no call.

Meanwhile Wolves just got bailed out by a PK for an undeserved draw

The best kind of draw

bruce joins a list of many to have comprehensively out-thought poch this past twelve months

hard not to keep that in mind the next time a press conference becomes all about his big fucking decision to keep getting paid 8m a year or not for his troubles

VAR generally, but in particular the way it's been implemented, is a complete and utter disaster.

Aubamayeng is offside, no one flags because it's tight, play on, shot gets blocked for a corner... Arsenal get a corner. No check. Because it's not a goal. But if Arsenal had scored from the corner, it wouldn't be checked. That is absolute insanity. Literally training their referees to be worse.

Alexis Sanchez to Inter, here we go! Done deal with Man United ⚫️🔵 #transfers #MUFC #Inter

This is an extremely odd decision given our lack of options up front

And now Smalling is going to Roma on loan!?

I may have been rather hasty in writing Daniel James off...

was just pondering that

Nearly another one there

Solskjaer looking clueless after conceding a goal again

we're a midtable team with a midtable manager and our best attacking player is a kid from the Championship

it's gonna be a looooooong season

Which match do y'all think is the best of the next batch.

West Ham - Norwich I'd say

and Farke looks like the coolest and hardest manager in the prem, no competition.
