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

He is something dodgy.

Basically all it takes now is for Watford to lose to Arsenal, Bournemouth to get a soft 1-0 victory at Everton and for City to do what they did to Watford in the FA Cup final and they're down on goal difference.

oof Bournemouth with the equalizer

oh god here comes VAR

no goal, sounds fair enough tho

and Southampton finish them off

mind you, i probly hate Watford at least 50 percent less than i did yesterday so

lol Leicester ffs

Third own goal for Spurs since restart.

Lovely goal.

Spurs are hopeless when they need to break teams down but give them 28% possession and they’re unstoppable.

Kane is back in spirit as well as body, 3-0.

😭

That is all

Guess it sums up how poor most teams are this season when Spurs have been awful most of the year but are still going to end up a result or two away from a top 4 finish

God to think if lockdown had started a couple of days earlier we could have scraped a 0—0 with Leicester in mid-June and still been absolutely fucked

Leicester are dogshit.

14 draws the Wolves have had this season, more of them games we shd've won than lost. If we'd converted 4 or 5 of those to wins we'd be right up there.

fantastic result for united that, great manager that mourinho

Brendan Rodgers really is perfecting the art of the truly great Premier League choke.

I don't know what the deal is with Rodgers, his teams start off like steeplechasers and end up as seaside donkeys.

Makes me glad that he left Celtic while the going was good.

He was going down fast towards the end.

Michael Gove could be Celtic manager tho without a discernible effect on results

Leicester were fine when they had the ball (literally 70% of the match) but the defenders played like they'd never met each other before, which i guess is understandable with Pereira, Chilwell and Soyuncu out.

Sounds exactly like a Brendan Rodgers team tbh.

Soyuncu has been one of the best players in the Prem this season so yeah makes sense. This season's Leicester remind me more of Spurs in 2011 under Redknapp, exciting and lethal first team played every week and run into the ground by spring. Feels like an absolute freak of nature that didn't happen to Ranieri's Leicester.

maybe, but we've gone 2 seasons + overtime on very limited squad rotation, clearly luck has to be a factor but i think a good medical team can play a big part

Soyuncu's been crap since Christmas

Yeah I sort of checked out of football around then so maybe.

GOAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

PO-dence

lol missed it, had the radio on and they scored while i was out of the room

good to see Podence's role continuing

was a pretty great sequence, he was right in position

god the last Crystal Palace match was so long ago, I was in the Phillipines watching it

palace's run of form just needs to go on another seven months and we might even get to play them again next season (wednesday pending)

fuck me that one sounded alright too

holy shit, spun in a circle, wheeled it around, rifled it in

they are basically beating the shit out of POdence atm

he's the sort of player that's going to get kicked on the reg, small, quick feet, makes defenders look stupid. comes with the turf, they've been kicking shit out of Jota since the day he came

whereas on that second goal, Adama was basically getting dragged down by two dudes and somehow managed to stay upright and fire off a key pass.

yeah well lol

JOta stopped shaving again, I see

there it is ....clean sheet

good stuff but it's just reignited the aggravation of getting robbed at Burnley

yeah, 6th is the best they can do now, right?

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
