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

Yeah and that's still not certain. 6th is the lowest that guarantees us Europa League next season I think

6th definitely Europa, 7th also if Chelsea win the cup

Idly scrolling through the channels on Freeview I noticed the Watford v. Man City game is live on Pick, a channel that generally shows stuff like Border Patrol, Road Wars, Nothing To Declare etc etc. And Liverpool v. Chelsea is on live tomorrow night. What's that all about?

Pick is a Freeview Sky channel, they've shown the occasional game in the past before lockdown

Right, I never bother checking that channel out because it's crap, so I've probably missed a few games.

They've shown a few, none of the important ones really as far as I remember

Watford two down at HT.

If Villa can pick up one win in their final two games (and avoid a battering in the other) they've a good chance of staying up - assuming Arsenal don't field a complete second string on Sunday

well this is a delight

Hello

Arsenal don’t look up for this at all.

God bless Watford for making the end of the season worth watching but I cannot express how much I want them to go down right now. In what would be funniest relegation since Newcastle 09.

It'd be pretty weird if Villa stayed up right

as the boards' resident watford apologist i have to hold my hands up and say, fair play

Like, dreams where your grandparents are somehow still alive or whatever, I mean, sure that's nice to think about but it's a bit uncanny

i can't believe there is a club with an even worse record than my lot against City. At least we had that famous away 0-0 "victory" in recent history!

WaTFord apologist?

Arsenal appear to be playing six up front at the moment.

for all the good it did them :D :D :D

interesting one from Pogba there

these cunts better get tested for covid after the game

Kinda think Chelsea winning tonight might be the best result for Wolves, horrible thought

only caught the end of that but it all looked a bit scrappy and nervy. been a bit shit since luke got injured tbh, maybe they're missing some of the width in attack that he gives?

fuck's sake Chelsea i hope we thrash you

Lallana to Brighton seems like a decent move for all concerned.

Jermaine Jenas and other pundits acting like a Pearson led Watford would've definitely got points vs man city or arsenal is laughable.

Kepa being dropped for Chelsea's most important game of the season is p funny.

noted it with interest

also we're not starting Moutinho, which breaks my heart a shade but he's maybe looked a little tired at times during the return, not starting Traore either suggests we're gonna attrition it out first half but we'll see

definitely want revenge for the first match today. sad it's over after this but then again there's Euro up to finish.

and hell, talking regular season start by Sept? oof. gonna be some exhausted assed-players.

lucky we had the 3 month break really :D

still an amazing feat of squad management. my brother said to me earlier in the year that some of the fans overlook that when we play within ourselves or look a bit flat some of that is about managing stamina too, i think he made a good point

and yeah, Europa is back in the next 10 days or so, new league season starts around September 12 i think, not too long a break

massive match for us this, think we'll need the win for 6th

xpost especially true given how many results were achieved from short, late contained bursts of firepower, like both Man City matches. or the Southhampton comeback.

Heard a rumour that the already unstoppable Traoré applies baby lotion to his arms before each match so defenders can't catch him. I approve.

GL later on lads.

that's good. i have no idea how much more the stateside MLS matches are going to keep going after the tourney, considering this tourney has only worked due to an enforced bubble and even then shed two teams who had massive infections. i need some sort of sport as a distraction until this nightmare is over considering I live in its epicenter!.

xpost lol he needs a racing stripe.

Ah fuck here we go

Watford conceding a penalty two minutes in can’t hurt.

Bye Watford

And there's Spurs

Bournemouth winning, Antonio misses a terrifying sitter for West Ham

lol Bournemouth still going down as it stands

Absolutely absurd that one more win earlier in the season would have put Spurs in the Champions League spots right now given how shit we've been for most of the season.

Man, if we'd had a marginally better August/September

That Bournemouth goal has pretty much fucked it for Watford I guess?

Watford are one down anyway aren't they?

Two down now.

lol Jota scrapping

Neither squad really found their footing yet.

Glad The Great American Hero has mostly had nothing to work with so far

Watford looking fucked by half time, Bournemouth only a West ham goal away from staying up as it stands, a point would keep villa up

Got a feed with gentle hiccups and it's not enough to risk looking elsewhere but it's slightly irritating

Like I said Ne we've kept our big boy on the bench, settle for this at the moment

Hoping Podence comes on at some point too, love Jota but he's been more graft than craft since the restart

Yea keep it level and bring in fresh Traore to attack tired legs. I can dig that
