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

so we put a Donk on it?

Ings moves ahead of Salah and Aubameyang, one behind Vardy.

I thought this might be a winnable game for Watford but they’ve been really poor.

Just turned it on in time to see them pull one back and then tragically concede the free kick, such a shame for them.

Sane has signed for Bayern

Clive Tyldesley says "proper training" is needed for pundits after a study found "evident bias" in some broadcasts relating to the skin tone of players.

Tyldesley, main football commentator for ITV, said on YouTube he had written to the Professional Footballers' Association about the matter.

He also questioned whether ex-players may have contributed to the findings.

"Co-commentators, ex-players, their members, may well have contributed to the stereotyping," he said.

"I mentor undergraduates. I discuss the business, the purpose of commentary with them - does anyone discuss that with the co-commentators who step straight off the field and pick up a mic?

"Most of the opinions and judgements you hear during commentaries come from the co-comms, they don't come from me, the lead comm."

well now

a piece of commentary that's always stuck in my head: Tyldesley referring to the "languid Samuel L. Jackson (?) style" of Nwankwo Kanu

Greenwood really is an unbelievable finisher

Yeah he made that look easy

Bit of a soggy chip bag performance from Brighton there

Aye I was about to say ffs

Okay that was fucking greay

Um greaT

greasy lightning

Newcastle gifted a goal inside five minutes.

Bournemouth relying on Solanke (0 goals in 36 matches) and King (4 in 20) to get them back into it.

Foxes two down already

oof Leicester getting a doing, that 3-6 is still open

snap

I would love it - love it - if Wolves finished 3rd.

lol me too but even ignoring the run-ins United and probably Chelsea can't be caught. interesting wobble from Leicester tho.

would dearly love one or both of the first two to snap but no way i'd put money on it.

has taken me a long time to come to terms with the legit goodness of Fernandes-fired United but it looks legit, heartbreakingly

i still maintain without a drop of sour grapes tho that lockdown football is terrible
