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

he was probably the best player I've seen in the flesh in a Town shirt, but that says more about Town than Mooy!

Fair! He was great for HTFC in the 17-18 season, dare say he kept them in the PL then.

When we we first signed him my step-dad said: "he's just the kind of driving midfield player we've lacked for donkey's years. I reckon he's even better than Jimmy Bullard"

High praise indeed.

Bruno Fernandes to Utd confirmed

probably not going to have much impact coming in at this stage of the season, but he's not Lingard or Pereira so it's a win for me

i did not see that actually happening

unconvinced tbh but we shall see

Yeah, touch of the Mkhitaryans about him

But honestly anything is an upgrade at this point

Every big club signing seems like a punt tbh

Nice to have Boly back.

And Podence sighted warming up!

shite game, shite players, fucking shite manager

SHITE

Bruno at least knows where the goal is, unlike every other player in the squad

Missed this cos our Joel took me to the cinema, glad I missed it from looking at the text commentary.

Yeah you missed nothing. Drab second half from Wolves.

However, Podence looked quite good for a dude who arrived on Thursday. Even had a chance in the box that he couldn't quite get off

I have no idea how Man U didn't score. Boly was def rusty

I have no idea how Man U didn't score

see above

have never seen a goal that required so many catastrophic errors in unbroken sequence from so many individuals as that second west brom one

west brom don't belong in a premier thread just now

It's impressive how VAR seems to continually find new ways of being unsatisfactory and pointless

both teams wearing black armbands in west ham Brighton game because graham potter's dad died seems a bit... I dunno, unprecedented?

ffs!

the fuck is that not a pen

refs are cunts

jesus every game has a ref winning or losing it

and black armbands/minute's silence for the kitman's fucking cat that just got run over

Nuno still <3

grinding it out is not the same thing as relying on them missing

dean a cunt obv

less of one now

jesus welcome bergwijn hi there

henryesque imo

beaut

what a nice chap ederson is :)

im dead bury me by the sea

Could’ve used him today against Ajax, Stevie. Great goal.

If this season does actually turn out to be a dream then it was a pretty fun one

in fits, sure

LOOOOOOOL Mourinho reaction when he discovered Sterling was already booked pic.twitter.com/pRM9uNUVi2

jose being told sterling was already booked after the dive.....love it

😂😂😂😂😂

having watched both spurs v man city games this season the fact that spurs have ended up with 4 pts from them is hilariously outrageous.

also will never not be bemused re villa game that keepers are allowed to punch attackers in the head and no penalty is ever given.

the normal case for that latter is a grey line, the particular instance referred is just assault

ive seen the spurs/city 180mins stats and its like....48 shots to 5 or something insane

still can't stop watching that mourinho clip

This is everything you hoped it would be and more.

Barcelona in meltdown after Lionel Messi hits back at Eric Abidal

(Messi's) outburst is all the more significant because Messi has a clause in his contract which enables him to unilaterally walk away for free at the end of the season.

Nuno's got a phone call to make!

😢

really don't understand how this winter break is supposed to work

I'd be more bummed with lack of footie this weekend but Orlando City's MLS preseason begins today.

we could do with the rest tbh but there's 4 games this weekend and i'm not sure why some and not others

yeah i was confused about that too.

everyone kinda gets a week off overall
