Thread: The Premier League 2017/2018

I'd rather a double of Jack, than that double.










Kind of.

Pain is being near bankrupt in the old second division, still getting 40,000 + fans attendance evey home game.

No pain here...

Top of the league with billions in the bank and playing the best football the premier league has ever seen, just had a very unlucky week

So three home defeats in a row and choking to your arch rivals from a comfortable winning position is "the best football the premier league has ever seen".

That's almost as funny as Luigi's Oscar Pistorius joke.

The short ball high possession game inspired by Pep. ...muppet

So I see the FA have decided to "award" a goal against Stoke to Harry Kane despite it being some scnadyhooligan that put it in.

Naturally Mo Salah is a bit peeved.

But Gateshead came up with the best response.




Alan Shearer, Premier League record scorer with 260 goals: “I wonder if they will give me the other nine I also scored but were not given! #269 #appeal.”

Former England striker Gary Lineker: “I can think of half a dozen for the national side I might claim. I was only 10 yards away from Platt’s volley against Belgium if that’s near enough? Could yet be England’s leading scorer.”

How the fuck are Southampton (and WBA, for that matter) in the relegation zone? That's some fucking mismanagement/halfheartedness to find yourselves down there when the likes of Palace, Swansea, West Ham and Huddersfield are floating about like the turds they are.

Of those I'd say Swansea and Huddersfield at least have managers with an aim of how they want to play.

Our aim was to waste time when 1-1 against Huddersfield with an hour to go.

When Foster was clearly under instructions to take as long as possible on goal kicks at that point, I thought this league would be better off without us.

Yeah, decent players who should be staying up, but you won't be missed.

Wolves look a decent, enterprising team though.

Oh do fuck off.

Not taking the piss, but they've obv done very well and Mendes is behind them. That Jota looks like a player and they'll sign more pre-season.

Keep your team together and you won't be far behind as Villa have shown (there's one possible West Midlands derby next year).

Vaguely related:

In nigh on 25 years of watching United home and away, I went to most Midlands grounds in the 80s, 90s and 00s including Villa (10/15 +), WBA (3 or 4), Wolves (1 or 2) and Wolves was rough. Villa was a good drink and WBA was a good curry (and a beer too).

Always enjoyed my trips to the West Midlands (apart from the police). At least there'll be one team there next season.

Ah Southampton appear to have "Done a Man City".

Plastic cunts.!

Tiny totts vs Chokers at 7:45 on a Saturday? Whatever are they thinking?

Well Soton are the BIG losers today.

Disturbing news from Trafford, looks like the rags need some more charity from their noisy neighbours. .

Southampton were excellent for much of that game, but that could well be cheerio.

They were Jekyll and Hyde.

What might save them is that they do not have the hardest run in.

However, closing day they're at home to Man City.... not really one you want to depend on for three points, although by that time Pep might be tinkering with the kids (fnar fnar).

That Bournemouth game is massive.

At this stage the bottom six can always be assumed to have a shit defence, or they wouldn't be in the bottom six.

So the difference is goal scorers. If they can give Austin significant pitch time I think they can do it. Long is also looking more confident after his goal the other day.

Swansea and Everton away are games they can get points from...but they must beat Bournemouth.

Not really.

Swansea are 4th from bottom and 7 clubs above them have conceded more, up to Leicester in 8th. Arsenal in 6th have only conceded 3 less than them.

Even Southampton and West Brom (rooted to the bottom of the table) have conceded less than 6 of the teams above them in the table, going up to the 9th place team.
