Leicester than zero? - Premier League 2018/19

[ursus arctos]

Completely out of character

[Toby Gymshorts]

You know I meant the money, right?

I'm well aware the attention is everything.

[EIM]

Yes, I'm as fickle as the next person who might have once called themselves a fan but is now trying to detach themself from this toxic bullshit.

Embrace the toxicity. Bathe in it. Let it wash over you like a bracing alpine stream, but full of toxins.

[Toby Gymshorts]

Is that a metaphor for Brexit? That's surely a metaphor for Brexit.

[Toby Gymshorts]

Do I mean metaphor? I've not slept properly in three days and lots of things are confusing at present.

[EIM]

I've no idea what you're on about, Toby.

[Toby Gymshorts]

Me neither. I think I'll go to bed.

[The Awesome Berbaslug!!!]

Is that a metaphor for Brexit? That's surely a metaphor for Brexit.

It's all the same. I can't help feeling that that is deliberate. Given that it's all thanks to Murdoch.

[Satchmo Distel]

It's a bit of a Catch 22 though. If Klopp were a cold technocrat he'd be accused of "lacking passion."

[anton pulisov]

Can't tell where the shirt ends and the shorts begin.

[Snake Plissken]

It is nearly 2019 and Phil Bardsley is starting a Premier League game.

[Lang Spoon]

Fuck off. That cunt is Too Shit for Scotland.

[Janik]

1-1 in the Man Utd-Arsenal game, and both goals were the result of poor defensive errors, De Gea palming a fairly weak header backwards and just over his own line, and then the Arsenal defence letting a un-threatening looking pull back go past about three of them to reach Martial to sweep home.

[Toby Gymshorts]

Liverpool 1-0 down to Burnley, because Liverpool.

[Lang Spoon]

Fantastic. Next year is our year, etc.

[Janik]

Liverpool level within five minutes of going behind. Chelsea have let two in in about the same period of time against goal-shy-Wolves, as I believe they are now officially called.

[Toby Gymshorts]

Liverpool now 2-1 up. I'm really, really trying not to care.

[Toby Gymshorts]

Arsenal retake the lead after some comedy defending from Rojo, then Man United equalise almost directly from kick off. Blimey heckers.

[Janik]

This is a silly game. Two more awful defensive errors in a minute and it's 2-2. Marcus Rojo was extremely lucky the ball squirted in for 2-1 Arsenal. If it hadn't, it was almost certainly a penalty and a second yellow.

Now Man United are clinging on more by luck than judgement.

[Toby Gymshorts]

3-1 Liverpool. I wonder how long Burnley will stick with Dyche?

[Janik]

Ranking the Man Utd-Arsenal goals in terms of defensive incompetence, worst to marginally less awful.

#1 - Man U's second: three men Arsenal players around the ball play after you Claude, and then pass to Lingard for a tap-in. WTF?
#2 - Arsenal's first: butterfingers.
#3 - Arsenal's second: you are not suppose to form a guard of honour for the forward, you know. Nor shoot at your own goal.
#4 - Man U's first: erm, why have you all stopped whilst the ball is still in play inside your own penalty area?

[Toby Gymshorts]

Fellaini really is a horrible shithouse.

[Janik]

Pity that Mkhtaryian (sp?) 'goal' was offside, the finish was a fine bit of skill.

Oh, and yes, pulling a blokes hair, that is Ramos-esque.

[ursus arctos]

Primary school kickabouts in Milano featured significantly more tactical awareness

[Snake Plissken]

3-1 Liverpool. I wonder how long Burnley will stick with Dyche?

Name a realistic replacement. And I'm not convinced he should go just yet.
