Premier League - 2023/24

He might score more when man city actually play well. They've been ****.

 

Premier league. So predictable. Yawn.

 

Zzzzzzzzzz….

 

So again I have placed Arsenal to win the Premier League. They say madness is doing the same thing and expecting a different outcome. Its going to be City again isn’t it? (As an aside my other three champions in the bet are Leicester, Barnsley and Mansfield. Another £1 wasted).

The fun is predicting the three relegation teams. I doubt last years situation with all three promoted teams surviving will be repeated. I wonder if there is value in predicting that all three promoted teams get relegated this year?

 

I don't think Burnley will.
About time Everton did and Wolves and Palace may struggle, especially as the keeper is on strike.
I assume they have another though!

 

Keep an eye on those new players, because in a couple of years they'll be with us...

 

Defenders.

They have that Argentinian youngster and will persist with Crisp Boy you'd think?

 

They don’t have a chance. Wouldn’t be surprised if they miss out on the top 4 after last seasons disappointment. Citeh, MU, Chelsea and Newcastle/Liverpool for top 4.

 

TBF, I can see O’Hara’s point re: Billericay.

 

Can't decide whether it will great watching MoTD now, watching L*ton regularly thrashed, or just a dreadful reminder that they are actually in the prem.

 

MOTD is a must watch now just to watch Luton getting stuffed me thinks

 

Heard a few things about this lad. Interesting to see how he does in the PL playing for a team in claret, rather than against them

Sell on?

 

That would be nice

Although they’ve bought him for less than we sold him, so probably not

 

Slightly off topic but it's not going to plan for Kane.

If he thought he could arrive and pick up a cup tonight he was sorely,at least at present, mistaken.

RB Leipzig have the wings at half time.

 

It's the German equivalent of the Community Shield. Yes, a trophy of sorts but not a real one. A bit like Haaland being a complete no-show two Community Shields running – it probably doesn't mean all that much.

Mind you, would still have been the biggest trophy Kane's won.

 

Dreadful miss by JP.
Fortunately it didn't matter.

 

True but still a tremendous hoot!

 

You can take the boy out of Tottenham……

 

JP was fouled but it will surprise no one here to learn he fell as if shot and dragged Location, Location, Location ontop of him. Very soft.

The Drunk penalty was absurd. Cross came in and it hit Drunk's arm that was behind his body. Short of instantaneously becoming the Black Knight he could not avoid the ball. The baying orange hordes behind the goal probably influenced matters.

They choked on the last day good and proper!

 

That penalty to L*ton is one of the most ridiculous I have ever seen. To then have it confirmed by VAR just goes to show what a complete joke the whole process is. Even the referee in the sky studio said it clearly shouldn’t have been a pen.

 

Silly little twerp.

 

That third goal is hilarious

 

Does the defender get an assist for the third goal? I know Brighton are decent but some of their defending was League 1 level

 

Looked to me like they were out on their feet by then and barely knew which way they were meant to be playing.

 

Yes very encouraging. They were cut to pieces at the back. Was it 3 times that BHA hit the woodwork ? Plus that Pedro miss. It could and should have been 7 or 8.

 

I haven't watched MOTD for years,not least because of that ghastly little tic Lineker.

I made an effort on Saturday and Shearer made the point that BHA could/should have had 7 or 8 and that L*t*n would have to improve dramatically.
