Premier League 2016/17

Betting is fun. Millions of us like having the odd flutter, but being a footballer means you aren't allowed to do it. It's as simple as that. Wait til retirement for that ambitious 9 team acca!

Even if being able to influence the result weren't possible, the likelihood of footballers to have 'insider knowledge' that could give them an advantage over the betting companies is enough reason for them to be banned from it.

I do wonder if giving said 'insider knowledge' to the betting companies would also be banned.

Matt le Tissier put a bet on an early throw in after kick off but he hoofed it and it stayed in. Him chasing the ball to put it out was the fasted he's ever moved off the ball.

[Lineker]

Janmaat subbed off injured already. Must be too full from yesterday!

[Baddar]

And now Behrami will be going off, it seems. 

Good finish from Cabaye. Palace needed to score whilst they were on top. Watford haven't got going yet.

[Baddar]

That is awful all around. Shit in the run up to the pen, and Benteke deserves a bollocking at half time for that take. 

[Baddar]

Now that's how you take a pen. Deeney levels from the spot.

Poor Batshuayi... Even when Costa is suspended, he can't get a start.

The front three for Chelsea today are Pedro, Willian, Hazard, probably with Hazard up front. Fabregas is a straight replacement for Kante in midfield.

Least he doesn't play for Palace or West Ham so he's still dodged a bullet there like. 

So I thought Man City's tribute to the dearly departed Gundogan was cringey....Leicester have decided to try and top it off by giving everyone a Vardy mask in protest of his suspension. 

[Noah]

This MUTV radio commentator, Tim Long, is pronouncing Herrera's name weirdly.

Hay-ray-rah.

Finally! Was starting to be concerned with a potentially goalless 1st half looking likely.

[stokeriño]

In fairness...Pedro may have come in rather than Batshuayi today, but it's difficult to see Batshuayi pulling off something like this:

1-0 at HT. Please score a second goal before I start to go mad.

EDIT: Why couldn't this have gone in?! 

 

[Baddar]

It's good, but it's not quite Lamela.

Half decent first 45. Sunderland carved out a few good chances, Pogba struck the post after a deflected shot and had one that looped over the bar. The Blind goal came from our first real chance. We've made Pickford make a few good saves before the break as well. Hoping we can grab an early 2nd like at West Brom.

[stokeriño]

Hazard taken down for a penalty, rolls it in for 2-0 just a couple of minutes into the second half.

A two goal lead! How I've missed you.

[DavidMarrio]

Urghhhhhhhhh.  Just drop points will yous.

Nope.

Kevin Mirallas.

Sorry @Benji, sorry @Meacon. >_>

[Meacon Keaton]

No need to apologize. This season is what I expected to go through when I "chose" Leicester in the first place.

[Gorka]

Just fuck off already, Bradley.

[stokeriño]

3-0 Chelsea.

12 wins in a row!
