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

haha can't make this up

this fucking game

ay up THE OX is on

so I was thinking about the obnoxious aggression, self-importance & hubris of utd fans singing the lukaku song again followed by "we're man utd, we'll sing what we want" & realised that "spuuuuuuuuuuurs forever! pochettiiiiiiiino's the man!" is in fact incredibly good & moral in comparison

also i've been watching utd corporate videos & hollywood tie-ins which i wasn't aware of before & they are fucking amazing. this one's my fav https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6MkmonoaSw

loooool Rooney, Hollywood beckons

that's hilarious

if you watch a few you can see that as he suffers through them rooney does gradually get noticeably better at acting, truly a figure of pathos

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp cut short his Champions League news conference in Moscow on Monday, describing it as a "waste of time".

Klopp, whose side face Spartak Moscow at 19:45 BST on Tuesday, was asked if he was in love with any of his players.

It was a reference to Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino saying he loved striker Harry Kane on Saturday.

"I am really impressed that we're in a Champions League press conference and talking about this," said the German.

Klopp, who became frustrated while his answer was being translated into Russian, added: "I really don't understand the business any more."

He cut the translator off, saying his question and answer "were not important for Russia".

Before leaving the room, ending the 11-minute news conference, he added: "It was just an English thing. Pochettino loves Kane and who do I love? That's the question? A waste of time."

was just too shy to admit it's lallana

Thought it'd be Gini tbh, but Klopp otm.

Looks like Mendy is out for a long time

How did Brexit win?

chelsea sure but wtf spurs?

most of those fanbases are significantly metropolitan

bar Man U obv

Online football site, AskFans, carried out the study in a bid to gain further insight into how the demographic of football fans changes from team to team. For the purposes of the study, 4,680 UK-based adults aged 18 or over were quizzed.

63% of West Ham fans voted Remain?

be much more interesting to see results from ppl interviewed outside grounds

much more accurate

everton fans must have heard liverpool were voting remain

yeah, can someone explain that for me? i'd have thought lfc and everton fans would have had pretty similar political leanings

liverpool fans more likely to do the opposite of what the sun tells them?

guys you are too smart to take these results as being representative of anything

pretty sure top and bottom are correct tbh

don't think anyone's taking them too seriously xpost

right but it's not worth head scratching over any given team's results here given that it's based on prob ~300 ppl filling in a surveys on one site

ah listen everyone knows what everton are like - statistics or not.

Everton fans more likely to live in Liverpool I would have thought.

Worth remembering that only 1% of united fans have a UK vote

This was a poll of people based in the uk though so I guess it should be more remain if anything?

sergio aguero was in a car crash and sustained minor injuries, they will keep him out for 2 months https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/1630863/sergio-aguero-survives-car-crash-in-holland-thanks-to-seatbelt-but-faces-months-out-of-manchester-city-season-with-broken-ribs/

disappointed at the lack of zany rejoinders pointing out that everton hate being in europe.

There's a cracking game of 'footballer or Street Fighter 2 character?' to be played with this Huddersfield team - Schindler, Mooy, Kachunga, Van La Parra.

If Van La Parra was a Street Fighter 2 character, his move would be a diving type of attack. And he would be one of the predictably easy ones to defeat, that just keeps doing the same move.

Zanka.

Some people think it is quite childish to put a Cool Running character nickname on yr shirt, but's thats Zanka

12th of the month.

Lovely team goal.

need to keep it down to at least 5 by h/t!

My friends and I are deep into this super nerdy fantasy league with the scoring linked to Opta stats etc and at one point a week or two ago Ben Davies was the highest scoring player in the entire game. He just seems to have been unspectacularly hugely effective this season.

Then again Christopher Schindler was also in the top three last week and that's not going to last. Got to admit I expected today to be tougher.

The one time you want Kane to pass...

Kane is going to get 6 today. It is reminding of that 10-1 defeat to Man City that was on MOTD when I was a kid.

I have cleverly ensured that Spurs won't win by more than three by betting on them to win by four or more before the game.

Alli very unlucky there. Looks so much sharper than recent weeks.

what a dive by Alli! It is was even worse than VLP's last week. Oh good Lowe is coming off, his confidence must be shot.

Alli is a tart and tbh he could leave in the morning for the type of money it would take afaic

Lossl has been great for us so far, but today he has shown many flashes of how he ended up on the rejects pile!

Lol! Spurs will be quaking in their boots at the sight of Dean Whitehead coming off the bench.

If I was a Palace fan I'd be quite insulted by that United back four.

we have been like FC Vaporwave today, just dreadful.
