Premier League 2019/20

Surely that was handball? It was miles more handball than most of the Womens World Cup handballs.

See, in Europe that's a pen all day nowadays. Glad those aren't being given. His arms weren't exactly miles away from his body even if they were quite high up. They did say they weren't encouraging defenders to just put their arms behind their back through fear of conceding a pen.

Harry Kane, I love you.

Harsh on Villa.

Just watching Football Focus from earlier today.... had no idea that the CEO of Sheffield United used to work for my dad! @DFF

Two men have been charged with public orders offences after getting into an altercation with security outside of Mesut Özil’s house. 

I guess this is why he and Kolasinac were left out of the squad for tomorrow’s game.

Went to the game yesterday, which was my second visit to the new stadium and I'm just not over how good it is, the South Stand, in particular, is amazing. Get to go again for the Newcastle game in a couple of weeks and I'm proper excited. That said, does my nut in when our fans get super frustrated and start audibly groaning or moaning when players make mistakes - just get behind the team ffs. 

I thought Villa were excellent in the first half yesterday. I thought Wesley was a proper handful, Mcginn was class and Grealish was great until he lost the ball at the end for the goal. I think it also showed that the diamond we were trying in pre season doesn't work against teams who are going to be compact and sit a little deeper - we looked so much better when Eriksen came on and we started playing with some width. 

Ndombele also looks much better in a 2 than in a 3. We only saw glimpses yesterday, but he's got so much potential.

It's actually crazy that a match which wouldn't really have had any major implications a decade ago is now perhaps the most vicious rivalry in English football. I say that using this as a ridiculous example of stoking fake tension between the two groups of fans, and that Tube brawl which seemed like an absolute farce of a thing.

[Colly]

It is disturbing how dangerously misleading social media can be. There should be a disclaimer at the top of twitter saying "find a fucking source".

As far as I could tell it was a bunch of Londoners fighting other Londoners over a dinner plate.

Just the one new signing lining up for Newcastle against Arsenal, with Joelinton starting up front.

None of Arsenal's new boys get a start, but Joe Willock and Reiss Nelson both play.

[Kaney]

I would have really expected at least one of Pepe or Ceballos to start. I know Emery likes to blend them in gradually but it would have been a really good statement to come out all guns blazing for once. At least Mustafi is nowhere near the lineup.

[Baddar]

It feels like they're lining up to play Oxford in the Carabao Cup or something. There's 5 players on the bench who could become starters in the next few weeks, and no Ozil at all.

This away kit is sexy as fuck.

I want us to keep it forever.

[Moses Julep]

I was kinda bummed the Premier League is on DAZN this year in Canada but then I realized there's a promo with my cable/internet provider where I can get DAZN for free and now here comes endless football streaming!  

[stokeriño]

Have the best of the first 15 minutes. Give away clumsy penalty.

Yep, sounds about right.

[The Lusophone]

Luiz wouldn't have given away that penalty.
