Premier League 2023/24

[Cymbols]

Absolute banger.

[Bobfoc]

Brighton must be the most exciting team in the league right now. They've had ridiculous wins and ridiculous defeats.

[Kaney]

Two nil down at home in a "title challenge" and needing a goal, and we bring on Eddie Nketiah. Never going to push forwards from here without a proper striker.

[DavidMarrio]

Least we don't have the stench of being top at Christmas attached to us for the rest of the season now. Good set of results over the last two days considering no one's really gone on about us this season compared to other teams

Liverpool win this league if City don’t do what City do best. Otherwise, it’s all City, which is most likely coz we’ll, its City.

City will be fine. Liverpool, Arsenal, and Villa all had the chance to put more distance between them and City and didn't. Will likely be that through 19 matches they'll be 2 pts off the top with a goal differential advantage.

I'm biased, obviously, but I'd reckon Arsenal and Villa will burn themselves out faster than Liverpool and we could end up in another tight City vs Liverpool run-in. Being in the Europa League might give Liverpool a slight advantage but tbh I'm expecting City to hit their stride second half of the season and win the league.

Cole Palmer is pretty good.

[stokeriño]

Madueke's not bad in front of goal either.

[stokeriño]

We are so throwing away a 3 goal lead. 😂

[gunnar hendershow]

Have to feel that Luton may have deserved a point there.

[Bobfoc]

Matt Turner is a gift to every opposition player he faces.

[Bobfoc]

Even though it's sad Steve Cooper had to go, Forest have looked like a different team since Nuno took over.

Very very good 2nd half. Good energy. Now to lose another away game tamely Saturday. 🤗

Just like that.

Fucking pathetic team.

[Naitch]

Man Utd proving that "you win some, you lose some" is actually a viable tactic as long as you don't draw often.

While we were tonked, this sums up my current thoughts. What's the point of VAR?

 

 

[DavidMarrio]

It was a pen and yet a really dumb decision by Jota. 

Stressful that, should have been a cricket score but some iffy finishes at times / poor final ball / just a bit of luck not going our way at times. Dubravka made some great saves and some were just straight at him. 

Anthony Taylor can get in the bin. No idea how Joelinton didn't get booked in the first half.

The Joelinton one is arguable, you can't book a player for stopping a promising attack when the promising attack still happened, but I think you could still book him for the daftness of the foul (should have just pulled his shirt...). As Neville said though that's the only complaint Liverpool could have, despite Drury not knowing the difference between Bruno and Joe. 

That second pen gets worse on every viewing though, he puts the right leg (the one there's contact on) down to step, then goes down on the left. The slight problem is that media/refs etc have made it so difficult to give a pen when you don't go to ground (ever since that one Gerrard got against Stoke), so players are encouraged to dive. And that was a dive.

We were shite again though, shouldn't have been in it at 80 minutes and deserved the loss, just annoying the manner of it.
