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

v harsh

on the whole i'd rather be in Miami

great game, maybe the best i've seen us play. all i want for Christmas is a goal poacher tbh

very harsh, tho tbh the final ball from wolves all game didnt really hurt us as much as other teams have managed tbh

yeah that energy came with a degree of headless chickenry at times, Jota, Raul and Traore all chose the wrong option on occasion

postgame spring break at the beach is killing me

wow chambers and kolasinac are terrible!

who was last defender for that second goal? on a fuckin trolley so he was, still running the other way yet

a wondersave away from the sickest hat-trick in living memory

Arsenal have not lost a top flight home match by more than a three-goal margin since a 5-1 defeat against Wolves on 22 April 1961.

This is a pretty crazy statistic, especially for Arsenal given recent times.

Lads, how's this for a xmas surprise: Pards is most likely the new manager of ADO Den Haag (link). The ugliest side in the Eredivisie - all about stamina and rolling up sleeves, nice football we don't care for; sort of like West Ham on the pitch, and w/ Millwall Bushwackers as their audience - thought it wise to take on Pardew as their manager. For whatever reason.

Now I'm not saying this is a bigger failure or a more unthinkable appointment than Moyes at Sociedad, but it sure is promising!

Dutch media say he'll be on the pitch as early as Sunday. If this happens, I feel obliged to start a 'Pards goes Dutch' thread to track the man, the myth.

looks like fun but i feel i shd point out that historically West Ham's fans thought of them as a footballing side, they've never wanted to be lumpen *on the pitch* which is why Big Sam wasn't embraced

Can we expect some of this from Pards though?

(xp) Ron Greenwood's Academy etc

You are completely right to point that out. xp

Lol Tom, I too am dying to find out how fast Pardew contracts the shh disease.

lbi Please make that thread

A stunning first half collapse by Liverpool at Villa Park

As good as they've been this season, it's difficult to see what the way back is for them now, as a club, as human beings

praying for a 4-2 here

Any other result and we'll be forced to reevaluate what the most embarrassing scoreline to win by is

Praying for a 9-0 here.

Still think it bizarre they even have to play tonight tbh

I forgot it was the Caribou Cup and got excited for a second

declare the result and mix teams imo, grealish and mcginn captains

Why? I don't necessarily think domestic fixtures should be jiggered around so one team can play in lucrative mid-season matches that are basically meaningless friendlies, like the world club cup and the champions lea

i'm just pleased that there's another team this aston villa has put four past (ignoring that norwich already managed this too)

now mix teams

Norwich almost conceded a Wesley hat trick, a different order of magnitude in the Shit You Don't Come Back From stakes imo

I hear thee but they didn't sign up for this tbf, it comes with winning the CL. Rather it should be the other way around: they should've fielded the scouse babies in the desert, not at home imo.

think the sponsors would probably have something to say about that

This is going to be a good quiz question later "who beat Liverpool 5-0 in the middle of their PL-winning season?"

I agree but I imagine the club would get a serious financial rap on the knuckles from Fifa for fielding a team of youngsters for the mickey mouse shite in the desert

Rumors you love too see: Zlatan to Everton.

Funnily enough, last night was the 43rd anniversary of Villa 5-1 L'pool (5-1 at h/t) in the league. L'pool went on to be champs that season too.

Silliness of the competition aside, I’m looking forward to seeing how Funes Mori gets on against a good defence. He looks like the kind of player who might do ok in the Premier League.

Was confused for a second there, but it turns out it was his twin at Everton until last year.

yeah, Funes Memorious

saw the highlights of the flamengo game, was surprised to see giovinco and bafetimbi gomis playing for the saudis. flamengo managed by fm10 legendary manager jorge jesus, oh the battles i've had with that man..

would love lfc to finally win this but even if they get to the final think flamengo will be too much for them especially as flamengo have an aussie rules player on the right wing for them.

just want it on record that I think minamino will prove an excellent signing. v pleased with that

alderweireld signs til 2023

This has strong pre-season friendly vibes.

Less quality on show than Boro vs Stoke last night.

Genuinely the worst match I’ve seen this year. They should both be docked points.

I wonder which incoming manager is more depressed right now

Wtf Wolves

Such a weird lack of fluidity compared to recent weeks

I assume they've got my hangover but my head hurts too much to watch

Poor defending, Moutinho not himself.

Traore trying to do way too much despite being triple teamed
