'Even allowing for inflation, this thread is not worth 198 Terry Francises' - EPL 2017-18

These pricks had better not get something out of this.

Morata's been really good

Paulinho IN at Barca. £36.5m

there now, everyone's happy.

Lol what a day of sporting glory

If Barca then shell out for Soldado and Vlad Chiriches we need to start worrying.

watching MOTD has re-affirmed that Lossl has made two very good saves today, but still his distribution is L1 standard. but sometimes they all seem shite tbh.

Was at a wedding miles from radio or any other telecommunications infrastructure.

Did I miss owt

I think the main story was that apart from a few exceptions, most premiership defences are still in pissed up holiday mode.

Sissoko in the starting line-up oh dear.

Booing Sissoko is odd. How many Newcastle fans would have rather he stayed?

he acted like a twat his entire time there tbf

bit of a let-off for Kyle Walker jr. there

Walker-Peters has looked alright so far tbf. He and Sissoko are playing lots of meaningless passes to one another.

Imagine if Newcastle fans booed every player who gave up on their club.

hooray harry sticks one up some daft frenchman #fuckoff #brexit

No fucking way that was accidental from Shelvey.

hah! what an absolute shithead and good news for us.

Lovely.

I can cope with Trippier being off for a few more weeks, KWP is fine here.

good to have Newcastlol back bringing the lols where they belong

classy lot for booing a player mainly because he was deliberately stamped on.

he's also a massive cunt though

I wasn't aware of that tbh. What has he done?

let's go to the archives

(and that's just the most egregious example)

that'll be why the Newcastle fans booed him off

oh ... that type of cunt. He looks a pretty fucking tidy player tho!

they obviously booed him off for this reaction. Unfair? Possibly. But I wouldn't have much sympathy for one of the nastiest players in the league

I mean I'm quite casual about him now because I have previously only seen the odd clip of him, but if I saw him going studs up on our record signing - I'd probably want the bastard strung up as well!

Dele is a childish enough prick, and at six foot and with a nasty stream in him I'd not be rushing to his defence.

One of the nastiest in the league? Wouldn't have said so tbh. Maybe in a spurs shirt it's more surprising to see it idk.

he looks like a boy scout next to some of the lower league nasty fuckers I've seen in my time. Darren Bullock was more like a violent offender than a nasty footballer. But he had a heart of gold and only ever bludgeoned to death his own .. etc..

He once threatened to break Craig Bellamy's legs in the tunnel, but got sent off before he could do that, for stamping on someone's head. Not for us, I should add.

Chris Morgan played epl which is a disgrace given his career was the injury of players

well here is a coincidence, both Morgan and Bullock were both former Warnock signings.

Early days obv but I have to say Matic looks like a superb signing so far

Was just going to say the same.

Kind of amazing that united haven't created a single chance from all the corners they've had considering the physical size of the team now. That goal was pretty great though

lol what was that bit of drink bottle arranging ocd all about from Mourinho?

Well this is quite satisfying

down to 2nd ffs!

more like waste ham amirite

More like Slaven Bilious amialsorite

this is fucking up that 250/1 quid bet I've got on Hudds being top after 3 games. Gonna have to treat that cakewalk against the Geordies next week as a GD improving exercise.

oh fuck me! here comes the hyperbole after Man U have a good game. It never gets old.

The hyperbole is terrible, but I've not seen ManU play this good in at least a year. I'll take it before the inevitable string of draws kicks in.

I'd say four years...

tbf they were excellent, but the portentous tommyrot starts to become unbearable!

This is a good United team, like it's actually balanced in a way that no post-Fergie squad has been. Still needs more in attacking midfield positions but the Matic deal could go down as one of the all-time worst transfers for the selling club.

It is only early doors, but to miss out on Lukako and lose Matic to the same rival seem like season defining blunders.

To have sold them both tbh

But wasn't there some kind of nonchalant arrogance from Chelsea's negotiations? Like they thought they were a shoe-in to resign him at one point? God I hate that creepy, wiggy bastard tbh.

Meanwhile on the Spanish Super Cup Ronaldo came on for 20mins, had a contentionsly disallowed offside goal, scored a ripper, got booked for taking his shirt off, booked again for diving and have the referee a bonus shove on the way out.
