***Official*** English Football Season 2019-20

[andmark]

Yeah, Bournemouth weren't exactly inspiring at the end of last season and today's result is hardly reason for optimism. They'll be in the relegation fight.

 

[wpdavid]

Palace will probably struggle this season, especially if Zaha goes in January.

 

[cpr]

Linekar, Shearer and Wright remind me of that table of middle aged men in the pub whose only thing in common is that nobody else will sit with them because of how annoying they are

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

It must be pretty exhausting expecting and almost having to win every game. Still worth it I am sure.

Yeah I'm not at all complaining about it but I definitely don't enjoy the game in the same way that I used to.

 

[duffer]

Willock and Nelson starting. Bruised banana kit. C'mon Arsenal, let's do this thang!

 

[duffer]

Mustafi not even in the squad haha.

 

[Lillian Thomson]

Interesting (albeit only vaguely) that Old Trafford and Anfield are the only two grounds unable to display VAR for the crowd.

 

[sledger]

Mustafi not even in the squad haha.

I expect he'll be sold before the transfer windows close elsewhere tbh. Probably imminently.

Enjoying that the Arsenal young lads are being given a game today. Hopefully a trend that will continue.

 

[Uppercut]

Newcastle look terrrrrible.

 

[sledger]

Newcastle look terrrrrible.

Yeah really uninspiring.

 

[Uppercut]

As doubtful as I am of Solskjaer's ability as a coach I really like his selections. Was resigned to Matic starting today and great to see Tuanzebe on the bench rather than any of our vast selection of established defensive failures.

 

[sledger]

Good day at the office for Arsenal really.A win on the road in less than ideal conditions in a fixture that is often a bit of a banana skin, some important players missing, a large number of young players featured, 3 debuts, some good looking link up play, never really looked troubled. Quite pleasing.

Newcastle are bad though. Not the worst defensively or in terms of organisation, but evidently very limited in terms of ability to actually play football.

Will watch the Utd/Chelsea game with interest. Don't really have a preference in terms of winner, just hoping for some lols.

Just stumbled across David Baddiel parodying Jason Lee, doing blackface. Not good tstl.

 

[sledger]

Yeah. If he really wanted to parody him he would have just stuck a pineapple on his head.

That said... I'm not entirely sure if that would be a whole lot better, come to think of it...

 

[andmark]

Yeah, the pineapple on the head made the whole thing even worse.

 

[sledger]

Oh he did that as well? Haha never mind then.

 

[andmark]

Oh he did that as well? Haha never mind then.

Haha, I wasn't sure if you were joking. But yeah, rather dodgy stuff.

 

[Uppercut]

I think that might be the worst Chelsea XI I've ever seen.

 

[sledger]

Haha, I can remember when Kurt Zouma was heralded as a great prospect.

 

[vcs]

Chelsea have played much better than Man United so far.
