Leicester than zero? - Premier League 2018/19

[Snake Plissken]

Yup.

Unfortunately for me, this years Burnley look like last years Stoke.

[Patrick Thistle]

Joe Hart seemed to have a good game

[Snake Plissken]

He has all season. It's the buggers directly in front of him who are the problem.

[Satchmo Distel]

None of the big six is totally fucking up and collapsing yet like Chelsea did in Mourinho's last season (lowest is Man U at 10th) but it's early days. Arsenal and Man United are the least convincing for well-publicized reasons (the result of years of stagnation).

The test will be which squads can sustain the Champions League-Premier League grind that starts shortly.

[EIM]

Manchester United will finish top four, I would have thought. We were shite against Brighton, and fell apart in the second half against Spurs, but this whole UNITED IN CRISIS paper talk, with images of a cracked club badge, was a premature overreaction.

Pogba can fuck off though.

[Jah Womble]

Oh, Man Utd are as far from 'crisis' as can be.

However, Mourinho showing some semblance of remotely holding it together following an off-day would likely help his players' cause.

[Patrick Thistle]

My predictions
Top 3: Man City, Chelsea, Liverpool
4th/5th: Spurs, Man Utd
6th: Arsenal (but not guaranteed)

[Jah Womble]

However, Mourinho showing some semblance of remotely holding it together following an off-day would likely help his players' cause.

In other areas of his life, he seems to have matters pretty well organised:

I would really love to know if Jorge Mendes is covering all or a part of these fines his clients keep having to pay with for these schemes.

[3 Colours Red]

I think I know where I'd be looking for any discrepancies next, considering that one of the HMRC's main offices is in... WOLVERHAMPTON!

[hobbes]

Well thank fuck the international break is over.
Liverpool 1 up at Spurs after Vorm forgets where the goal line is.
Before that a pretty even game although Liverpool had one disallowed for offside in the first minute which would have stood if Mane hasn't waved a boot at it as it was going in anyway. Ho hum.

[hobbes]

Oh and weirdly Alderweireld doesn't have the club badge on his shirt. Presumably that's why he keeps trying to rip them off all the Liverpool players.

[hobbes]

Moura is decent.

[hobbes]

Vorm however, really isn't. 2-0 after Vertongen tried his hardest to score an own goal only to hit the post and Vorm watches it go through his buttery fingers. Firmino tap in from 2 inches.

That wouldn't have gone in

[hobbes]

It did though. Mane didn't touch it.

[ad hoc]

Yes he did.

Actually the idea that he didn't is a new one. He definitely touched it. Absolutely sure he did (though now I want to see another replay because I'm a bit dumbfounded by the idea that he didn't - absolutely sure that the ball after Firmino(?) touched it was going well wide until Mane touched it

[ad hoc]

Liverpool are going to win the league aren't they? I wouldnt mind that if I didn't have such a dislike of Klopp's way of being

[hobbes]

Watch it again. Mane didn't touch it.
And Liverpool won't win the league.

[Snake Plissken]

No. They’ll be fun watching though.

[Toby Gymshorts]

5 out of 5.

They won't win the league.

[ad hoc]

That should have been a penalty at the end

[hobbes]

What? When?

[ad hoc]

When someone kicked Son's ankle

[Toby Gymshorts]

He'd have got the penalty if he hadn't taken his (terrible) shot and then decided to have a sit down.

Liverpool are not going to win the league. They're still - despite a great start - far too flaky.
