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

OH FUCK ADAMAAAAAAA

yomp

what a beaut

VAR checks for a pen and i'm not even sure which end it was supposed to be

i must have missed the announcement that this was a cup tie

Wolves a bit rattled and niggly the last 5 minutes and as i'm typing it we get another Traore stopper from Dier

Greenwood is going to be an absolute superstar

feels like every spurs player has been booked

kudos to Kane for getting back there tho

oh look United have equalized, we'll definitely be 5th on MotD2 tonight

AW FUCK GREAT SAVE

bout time

Kean subbed for Niasse fifteen minutes after being brought on. No idea why.

oh ffs

gutted at the stoppage loss, but the unbeaten streak had to end sometime I guess.

congrats Spurs fans.

Wolves w/ brutal sched coming up, tho no Europa for a while to exhaust them.

v harsh

on the whole i'd rather be in Miami

great game, maybe the best i've seen us play. all i want for Christmas is a goal poacher tbh

very harsh, tho tbh the final ball from wolves all game didnt really hurt us as much as other teams have managed tbh

yeah that energy came with a degree of headless chickenry at times, Jota, Raul and Traore all chose the wrong option on occasion

postgame spring break at the beach is killing me

wow chambers and kolasinac are terrible!

who was last defender for that second goal? on a fuckin trolley so he was, still running the other way yet

a wondersave away from the sickest hat-trick in living memory

Arsenal have not lost a top flight home match by more than a three-goal margin since a 5-1 defeat against Wolves on 22 April 1961.

This is a pretty crazy statistic, especially for Arsenal given recent times.

Lads, how's this for a xmas surprise: Pards is most likely the new manager of ADO Den Haag (link). The ugliest side in the Eredivisie - all about stamina and rolling up sleeves, nice football we don't care for; sort of like West Ham on the pitch, and w/ Millwall Bushwackers as their audience - thought it wise to take on Pardew as their manager. For whatever reason.

Now I'm not saying this is a bigger failure or a more unthinkable appointment than Moyes at Sociedad, but it sure is promising!

Dutch media say he'll be on the pitch as early as Sunday. If this happens, I feel obliged to start a 'Pards goes Dutch' thread to track the man, the myth.

looks like fun but i feel i shd point out that historically West Ham's fans thought of them as a footballing side, they've never wanted to be lumpen *on the pitch* which is why Big Sam wasn't embraced

Can we expect some of this from Pards though?

(xp) Ron Greenwood's Academy etc

You are completely right to point that out. xp

Lol Tom, I too am dying to find out how fast Pardew contracts the shh disease.

lbi Please make that thread

eshex boysh

A stunning first half collapse by Liverpool at Villa Park

As good as they've been this season, it's difficult to see what the way back is for them now, as a club, as human beings

praying for a 4-2 here

Any other result and we'll be forced to reevaluate what the most embarrassing scoreline to win by is

Praying for a 9-0 here.

Still think it bizarre they even have to play tonight tbh

I forgot it was the Caribou Cup and got excited for a second

declare the result and mix teams imo, grealish and mcginn captains

Why? I don't necessarily think domestic fixtures should be jiggered around so one team can play in lucrative mid-season matches that are basically meaningless friendlies, like the world club cup and the champions lea

i'm just pleased that there's another team this aston villa has put four past (ignoring that norwich already managed this too)

now mix teams

Norwich almost conceded a Wesley hat trick, a different order of magnitude in the Shit You Don't Come Back From stakes imo

I hear thee but they didn't sign up for this tbf, it comes with winning the CL. Rather it should be the other way around: they should've fielded the scouse babies in the desert, not at home imo.

think the sponsors would probably have something to say about that

This is going to be a good quiz question later "who beat Liverpool 5-0 in the middle of their PL-winning season?"

they should've fielded the scouse babies in the desert, not at home imo.

I agree but I imagine the club would get a serious financial rap on the knuckles from Fifa for fielding a team of youngsters for the mickey mouse shite in the desert

Rumors you love too see: Zlatan to Everton.

Funnily enough, last night was the 43rd anniversary of Villa 5-1 L'pool (5-1 at h/t) in the league. L'pool went on to be champs that season too.
