The Premier League - 2021-2022

Those are some damming stats, 19 PL games, 2 points 47 goals against
Seriously what’s the point

 

Absolutely right. 20 years ago, Arsenal and Man Utd were the top sides. Man Utd for their financial muscle, genuinely being one of the top 3 clubs in the world and therefore bigger budgets, and Arsenal because Arsene Wenger was brilliant. Man City, Chelsea, Spurs, all had spent time in the 2nd and even 3rd tier before that. Clubs like us, Oxford, Wimbledon etc could establish ourselves in the top league and genuinely hope to stay there. It's really ruined now with so many clubs being bankrolled and SA buying Newcastle is an utter joke.

 

Even taking away our result, a cracking day for us with Norwich getting ****ed, and draws in Palace-Newcastle (you can't rule them out yet despite their billions!), and Southampton-Burnley! Maybe we're not quite doomed JUST yet!

 

Asking for a friend are we still the worst team ever in the Premier League??

 

Still a good thing all the teams you'd expect to struggle failed to win today though.

 

Leeds are an interesting one, looking a bit like Sheffield Utd Lite in terms of their first vs second season. It’s annoying that we were so utterly abysmal against them yet could’ve easily got a point and very likely all three with a different manager.

 

Brighton have gone off the boil a bit since that brilliant start, can see this being a pretty handsome win for City.

 

Could be 10 here. Hope it is.

 

I mean we were awful last week, but the Norwich result earlier and how City are already 3-0 up against Brighton helps put it into context a little bit. When the big guns turn up us also-rans have no chance.

 

Yes, here we go again. Even the team in 4th place can’t compete with the moneybags clubs.

 

They're doing an 'us'.

 

The Brighton fans as one calling Walker a w***er for time wasting and the commentators apologise for bad language.
How sh*t is our world right now?

 

Hughes still not made it onto the pitch for CP !

 

Tony Blackburn, Freddie Star, Kenny Everett, Leonard Rossiter, Mary Berry, Dame Judy Dench, Sylvester Stallone, Amanda Holden, Sir Paul McCartney, John Parrott.......your boys took a hell of beating.

 

Oh shiit, Raphinha went off injured for Leeds this afternoon - that is not a good sign for them - can they be dragged further into the mix/mire?

 

Holmesdale Fanatics not messing about.

Unfurled this banner against Newcastle today. Police are investigating.

 

Fair play

 

Really!?

 

Not much to investigate surely?

 

Apparently so.

Apparently they received several complaints.

 

Hmmm. Sounds like Newcastle and their fans are just going to accuse everyone who protests of racism. Good luck with that. I don’t think that sign is racist. It’s undoubtedly offensive to PIF but that isn’t a crime.

 

For what?! Pathetic - that had better come to nothing pretty quickly.

 

No more racist than dressing up in Arab headwear etc, surely.

 

Yeah, @UEA pretty much hit the nail on the head, the Geordies are going to complain at every opportunity.

 

Have to say credit to Palaces fans for that banner!

 

No more racist than the guardian cartoon. I would love it if Newcastle go down. Love it.

 

They spend £100m in January and still go down would be perfect.

The BBC report about this is terrible, "It featured illustrations of a man dressed in traditional Arabic clothing alongside what appeared to be Premier League chief executive Richard Masters." It wasnt just any man in Arabic dress was it, it is the Crown Prince and quite obviously so, why are the BBC reporting it this way?

It is quite obviously not racist in any way and factually accurate, **** anybody complaining about it.
