***Official*** English Football Season 2017/18

[Furball]

Is it Huddersfield who have the absolute **** of a run in?

 

[Furball]

Title race is back on in Italy.

What a header from Koulibaly.

 

[cpr]

Talking of decent goals. Forget De Bruyne, Salah is POTY for me

Called it. Though what I didn't call was people deleting the replies taking the mick out of this statement....

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Fair play to Salah, he was insane. KDB still should've won it though.

Mendy is the ****in best. Just swamped by fans on the pitch and loved it haha.

 

[Uppercut]

I would've given it to De Bruyne but I might just be being a hipster by overlooking the guy who scores in every game. Also I hate Liverpool.

 

[Ikki]

I think Salah and De Bruyne both deserved the POTY award. Ultimately, it's hard to compare a midfielder to a forward. Salah is on track to break some big records: most goals in a 38 game season, most goals by a player from an English club in all competitions and most games scored in a season.

Brighton too. They could easily lose all four remaining games and end up going down.

Southampton's looked horrible a few games ago, but they've got the worst of it out of the way now and you can see them picking up some points.

 

[Uppercut]

Southampton were actually decent for most of the season but have been horrendous for the past couple of months. The games look winnable but I still wouldn't be backing them to do it.

Same, guess it is easier to stand out being the best player in a decent team than one of many good players in a very good one.

 

[Furball]

De Bruyne not getting it is stupid.

Only needs 23 goals in 7 or 8 games...

Another of the football didn't exist before the Premier League brigade I see.

 

[Cabinet96]

How do you even find out pre 1992 records? I don't have a clue what the most games scored in a 38 game season was before the PL era, or what the most games scored in was, and I wouldn't know where to look.

And certainly not before WW2, if Marc was talking about Dixie Dean.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Even if it was a 38 game season Dixie played in Salah would get nowhere near his goals total and he didn't get freebies in europe against part timers like Maribor to boost the overall total.

Just looked and Dean got his 60 goals in 39 league games. Suck on that Salah and co.

Why would I consider that when I am talking about the record in a 38 game season? I'm sure you're aware the First Division had 42 games. It may be true that Dixie Dean had a more impressive total regardless, but that's not going to be the relevant record, is it? And it may be un-PC to say but football now >>>>>>> football then.

In any case, it is an amazing record to beat even if it was only the best total for an EPL season.

 

[Niall]

Yeah would have expected more considering the media love in of them.

Channel 5 next Monday showing a documentary regarding the Wenger v Ferguson feud back in the day. Easily the most exciting rivalry in premier league history.

Enjoyable enough, if obviously a little to reliant on talking heads. Scholes came across as lacking any self awareness when you consider what a thug at times he was on the pitch.

 

[Niall]

Not sure Roma have watched Liverpool this season, utterly absurd how open they are. Liverpool should finish this tie tonight.

 

[Ikki]

P.S. **** Dixie Dean

Decent watch, but yeah, pretty sure Scholes is either taking the piss or is genuinely that biased. Mind you, Keown wasn't much better. Loved Phil ripping on Gary constantly though.
