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

want to know where 'last-minute penalty when 6-0 down' fits in sgt biscuits' cosmology of worst goals to score

It's crucial late goals like that which justify the four year deal they gave Dean Smith in November when he'd won like four games

i'm just praying for this "Nigel Pearson is good actually" nightmare to end soon

hate to say it but he probably deserves more credit than he tends to get for Leicester's title win

(he doesn't tend to get that credit cause he's such a fucking berk lol)

I have absolutely no idea whether Gedson Fernandes is any good.

correct

but if the ac milan interest in aurier at 15m is true then not having a better rb is irrelevant

Selling Milan the only player who can cross and them selling us a striker who needs crosses to be effective would be vmic for both clubs.

he can cross 1/10, hes been averaging out as ok lately, but thats not a flat 7 thats moments of 9 and moments of 3 alternating and out out out

Speaking of wrestling has Moyesy somehow done a faceturn or is he still part of the miserablist Sam Allardycio/Alan Pardew/Mark Hughes perpetual job gang?

michael oliver rather go through some elaborate fake injury than book a watford player for a knee high studs tackle on one of ours

Apparently Watford have a special "kick the shit out of anyone you like" pass

should be down to ten with capoue having a borderline red and two easy yellows but this is english reffing

ffs

Handball correct but ffs.

Waaaaay!

the handball in the first half, the red card in the first half, the red card in the second half, tanganga not getting booked for being pushed would all also have been correct and this ref is a cheat and a cunt

alli off for eriksen despite being ok today

That’s unbelievable.

Mou to quit in August after being refused an entire new squad

fucks sake shoulda won shoulda lost

Southhampton gonna try the high press all game huh

goddammit, come the fuck on

one thing Orlando City and Wolverhampton have in common - constantly conceding first

Fuck not again. Too hungover to watch this.

Had a bad feeling about this tbh, Southampton in form and we look pretty tired altho I will fight the next Wolves fan I read moaning about how we're doomed cos the squad's so tiny.

Wolves acting like they've never seen a high press before. constantly getting dispossessed, passing it to players who are marked by a defender who is already anticipating the ball. need to settle tf down.

xpost - think they are about to sign two defenders, right? and possibly a 19 year old forward? just not the one Nuno originally wanted?

sorry no more question marks

I've not paid a ton of attention to the rumours tbh, most of them turn out to be nonsense and Wolves under Fosun have been pretty tight-lipped until a deal is actually done. I'd be v surprised if we don't sign in this window altho personally my priority would be a striker and a midfielder. January is not a great time to sign players tho, and in my opinion the season has been a roaring success so far and yeah of course we need to develop and expand the squad but it's got to be the right signings, not just some desperate cast-offs with the wrong mentality.

Course if we sign defenders it potentially frees up Saiss and/or Donk for the midfield but tbh I see Donk as a better ball-playing defender than he is as a midfielder.

You're getting at least another season of Mourinho lads

Enjoy

aw shit here we go

jesus fucking christ

Could be worse, we could be Villa

Yay, Neto's "goals not robbed by fucking VAR" score reaches 50%

BOOYAAH

apparently VAR is good now nah only joking

omg the one time I took a late shower and they score twice. jfc.

I should do that more often.

didn't see either goal.

good shout, i ignore everything but Twitter when we're losing

unless i'm actually watching the game, obv

I hate missing comebacks. oh well - just glad it happened, now get #3.

they call 2-0 the most dangerous lead for a reason

GOALLLL

now, was Traore onside?

oh yes, definitely, by more than a full step

wow VAR saved us for once

god i love this fucking team

as soon as I saw Traore digging in for a run I hoped Raul would feed him and he did. lights out at that point.

he just requires so much attention that a dude like Jimenez can poach

oh dear God, Jimenez, don't be dead

The strikerless Villa have somehow stuck one in; the Mings Bollock remains tantalisingly undropped with ten to go
