No More Sarri - Premier League 2019/20

[Jah Womble]

Aspilicueta now falls foul of a tight VAR offside. At least it's consistent.

This weekend, anyway.

[Toby Gymshorts]

Then from that, via an incredibly soft free kick, Liverpool go two up.

[Jah Womble]

...and like yesterday, the injured party concedes almost immediately. (hobbes is having far too good a weekend thus far.)

Not that I've heard. Good stat that. The eight conceded was to Boro, wasn't it?

Southampton run them close. Put eight past Sunderland and shipped seven on a few occasions.

Have Arsenal scored eight? Nope. Seven is their best and lost 8-2 to Manchester United.

My lot have scored nine once and conceded six a few times. (Just to log that.)

I remember the occasion of course, but the thought of Southampton scoring eight in a match is utterly surreal.

[EIM]

Man Utd will finish above West Ham no doubt. But they are more their natural level than Liverpool or Man City now.

No doubt...?

[delicatemoth]

[to Toby] No, I just got his name wrong.

[Toby Gymshorts]

Fair enough. Was a bit confused for a second.

[delicatemoth]

I'm not surprised. Following on from my exclusively breaking 'Leicester sign Neil Maddison' from last summer, I think it's safe to say that I've entered the Bobby Robson phase of my football watching life.

[Mr Cogito]

I'm looking forward to the documentary already, delicatemoth!

[Jah Womble]

[to Toby] No, I just got his name wrong.

You thought he was called 'Jeffrey'?

[hobbes]

We're giving Mount far too much space in the box.

[hobbes]

...and like yesterday, the injured party concedes almost immediately. (hobbes is having far too good a weekend thus far.)

If it's any consolation, I'm coming down with a cold and I have 3 final stage interviews next week.

Man City's midfield four. David, Jeffrey, Leroy and Bernardo

[Jah Womble]

Ha.

If it's any consolation, I'm coming down with a cold and I have 3 final stage interviews next week.

...and yer man Kante has just scored.

[hobbes]

I hate Kante.

[Toby Gymshorts]

Nervy and scrappy at the end, but it's the result that counts (over the moon, Brian, etc.).

[hobbes]

He's a spectacular player that Kante. All over the pitch.
With a bit of luck Chelsea could have a very good team on their hands here. The big question is whether all these younguns have the stamina for an EPL season. It's a long way from when Man Utd did it with kids.

[Toby Gymshorts]

I wouldn't be surprised to see Man City put a bid in for him at some point. They don't especially need him, but, y'know.

[Toby Gymshorts]

Oof.

He's starting to look very, very tired.

[3 Colours Red]

Man City's midfield four. David, Jeffrey, Leroy and Bernardo

I think David Silva might have taken the hair transplant a bit too far.

[blameless]

If OGS deserves the sack for not being as good as some of his predecessors, then Phil Jones probably warrants being loaded into a trebuchet and fired into Manchester Ship Canal.

[Toby Gymshorts]

[Tony C]

Pretty disgusting from Jones, that.

[Toby Gymshorts]

So was what he said.

[Snake Plissken]

I'm not entirely convinced it is an accurate lip reading.
