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

ref: any clear and obvious reason to overrule my decision there frank

frank: nope

done

well Lampard would say that

I don't have any faith in the FA or UEFA or FIFA not to consistently find ways of making football worse

OTM.

the weird thing about it is, VAR as currently implemented is biased towards producing fewer goals from open play and more goals from the penalty spot

which makes for a pretty shit 'product'

I wonder how the FAI suing FIFA over the Henry handball plays into the thinking. If there is a principle that the governing body is responsible for errors (it was settled, so no legal precedent, as such) idk how easy it would be for them to let errors of fact, as opposed to interpretation, slip through when they have the technology to stop them.

everything is interpretation. trying to behave as if otherwise is the issue

I think there's only two or three managers with a better Premier League win record. That's what I do, I win.

Ugh

oh ffs!

Burnley are so awful. They’ve had 19 shots, none on target.

Of course saying that, they score.

Jahanbakhsh overhead kick for Brighton!

WHAT A GOAL 😱😱😱

Take a bow, Alireza Jahanbakhsh 🙌#BTAllDayer pic.twitter.com/YfZeoKRNUF

wow, brits only content itt

i expected better from you of em all sv

Haha the amazed kids at the end of the clip <3

What a goal

look ok we all love an overhead kick but

if you wanted the perfect set-up for one you'd not have it much different than that

doesn't hit it clean either

Hey now, are you trying to do deems' job for him?

happy new bollocks

lol @ Chelsea

it's almost Traore timeeeeeeeee

first shot conceded, 18 seconds

also fan on my NUC is making an orrible noise, while im here

first completely unmarked header at back post

90 secs

could be a gpod game for neutral this

Weird whiff by Jimenez there

utter shite

Lovely goal from Ings but so slack yet again.

look if i were on my own on a pitch id have made that look a little less clumsy than hes done there tbh

ndombele off

injury, fitness, or because he wont cover the defence, ah who knows

Goddammit, Donk

kane couldnt have less interest in winning or holding a ball up

This official is garbage

these are officially garbage

like a team of reality tv stars told to do a football scene

Wolves a pretty mediocre half there.

idk that I agree with the sportscasters that Neto should have had a PK, but he definitely shouldn't have been given a yellow for simulating.

Nuno's gotta get them refocused here. attack is aimless, and defending has been dire at times. almost gave up a second there.

Fucking abysmal

Southampton look like the only team that’s going to score. Spurs are totally sluggish, Lucas aside.

think lo celso is buzzing but looks incredibly naive ito what hes going to get away with trying

sissoko been good, aurier been ok

kane and alli have been rotten, attitude and effort and everything else

watford player with a glorious deliberate punt out of play so they could complete a substitution after nearly 5 minutes with ten men

Neto gets one back.

Xpost yea that was hilarious

wolves obviously score from the throw

kabasele a 'lucky boy there' imo

Red card!

'lucky boy there' no longer exists in our brave new world of computerised truth

Second red for DOGSO in three matches...both earned by Jota lol

generous yellow but harsh red imo

Kane pulls a hamstring scoring while offside.

kane offside by the width of a pulled hamstring

tbh no loss to see him subbed

xp off
