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

Suppose there is no hope left seeing Newcastle go down is there? :(

Feel like pure shit just want lockdown back

Oh Pedro shd've killed them

still it's SCAM-PO WOLVERHAMPTON iirc

Good win. Yea Neto shoulda buried that but good match!

must've been tough conditions to play in, happy to settle for ruthless efficiency at this point in the season

this is a soothing balm

Bring back VAR

I enjoyed that

come on City

ffs

KDB that's the spirit

that

is sick

lol missed a sitter you cunt

lol missed another sitter you cunt

ah bollocks penalty :(

fffs

Gah

cursed team

reckon that was only a yellow, wasn't really going in was it

dunno i've only got the radio on, makes everything sound more extreme, especially on the official Liverpool station 5 Live

I mean it would have been a slightly rogue decision to only give a yellow there but i'd have done so

rah
never in doubt
pouring one out for klata, garda and chris

ridiculous 2 seasons from lfc, following ridiculous 2 seasons from city

well at least the pundits can jizz this out of their system now, we play Chelsea last game of the season so things are still close

So many years of Liverpool won't xxx threads over the years. It's all over.

Congratulations to Liverpool and all of their empty seats.

Looking forward to some socially distanced celebrations in Scouseland.

That’s the thread title for next season sorted.

Wile E Coyote caught the Roadrunner huh. Guess ACME came up with some shit that worked

I'm old enough to remember my arsehole brother in a Liverpool kit (was it Crown wallpapers who sponsored it then, not sure) when they used to still have that league winning sheen around them. always knew he was a superficial cunt and Fuck Liverpool yah!

The traditional thread title is ruined and I don’t like it

Never in doubt.

Just use Man Utd instead.

Thoughts and prayers once again with Michael at this difficult moment 🙏

controversial opinion: we can still use the thread title for next year, Liverpool would have just proven it wrong for this season (if the traditional title had been used), who knows what next season will bring?

don't really have a strong feeling for Liverpool either way (hate Gerrard, love Shankly) but still feels significant to me that this absolutely huge club in English football have just won the league for the first time I can remember and I turn 36 next month.

also congratulations to the legend VVD

I'm happy for Liverpool, and for VVD and Gini (esp in the week where they turned their home country upside down announcing a boycott against the biggest Dutch footy telly show because they're racist fucks) though I already loathe the swooning Dutch fans - and I'm sure across the globe - claiming they've rooted for the club of Kuyt and passion and hard work to finally win a title lol.

Thanks mate, and congratulations to you too. Gotta say it feels absolutely lovely - tonight, at least, everything is right with the world again.

Congratulations to the new Manchester United on a tremendous achievement!

liverpool won't win the league (again)

It’s like Kissinger winning the Nobel Peace Prize. It’s meaningless now.

I think we should shut down this board and refrain from talking about this sport. It’s the only way.

(Chris, Stevie T, Ronan, other Rednoses of my acquaintance: I will buy you all a pint when it is safe to do so. Bitter, yeah?)

Congrats

Hopefully with things already settled, both City and Liverpool honour their moral responsibility to field teams of kids, who are extremely unlikely to die from coronavirus, in their forthcoming fixtures against Aston Villa

maybe in a minority on ilf, and there's still time for them to be pipped, but i think lampards chelsea are legit and will be even more so next season (if there is a next season)

i wish that wasn't the case, but as far as this season goes yeah. don't think anything's a given about next season for umpteen reasons

Impossible to say really, but with having already clinched both Ziyech and Werner they're shaping up some nice version of Lampardball it seems.

the game will be harder next year when each player is fitted inside a human sized hamster ball

i've kinda been assuming (based on nothing) that if next season does go ahead most teams will stick rather than twist in the expectation of some kind of stoppage during the season for pandemic related reasons.

based on that scenario there are a couple of obvious teams that have already improved from last season and during this season that should continue that next ie chelsea, wolves , man utd.

but like noodle said nothing is a given in football during normal times let alone now.

my main ish with Chelsea would be about younger players keeping form two seasons on the bounce but as SV has pointed out they've strengthened. at some point can't help but think Abramovich will get his oar back in, too. biggest concern for the Wolves is whether we can hold onto our biggest guns and push on - no concrete reason to think not, but good as Fosun are they're not in it for the love of the game

have to imagine Jimenez and Traore are going to be heavily courted

we don't *need* to sell, it might be hard to persuade them if they wanna go, Champions League might make a difference there but more likely to be about money. it's easy to get paranoid about journalist/agent chat now, which is a nice place to be. keeping Nuno still my number one wish tbh

my main issue with nu-chelsea is kepa, think he is mignolet(tho not quite karius) level

unless erik garcia is really rated i think pep/city will make an offer that can't be refused for varane or koulibaly which will help but still have a cdm problem in that rodri is no ferandinho and fernandinho is no fernandinho anymore either
