2017/18 Premier League & General Football Discussion

[Jezza819]

Arsenal v Man City goes ahead tonight despite the very bad weather.

Bad weather, bad Arsenal.

 

[Phoenix]

Probably another demolition.

Well, I wasn't wrong.

 

[yas]

Could've been worse if Auba had scored that penalty - City would've woken up.

 

[andrea]

AFTV hur hur

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Games this weekend, this could change...

Saturday
Burnley v Everton (12.30 Sky)
Leicester v Bournemouth
Liverpool v Newcastle (5.30 BT)
Swansea v West Ham
Tottenham v Huddersfield
Watford v West Brom

Sunday
Brighton v Arsenal (1.30 Sky)
Man City v Chelsea (4pm Sky)

Monday night
Crystal Palace v Man United (8pm Sky)

And the reason it could change? the horrendous weather we have had this week, several Championship, lower league and Scottish games already off, the Premier League games go ahead....for now!

Everton showing how bad they can be. Allardyce and fat Sam out.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Full times.

Burnley 2-1 Everton
Tottenham 2-0 Huddersfield
Southampton 0-0 Stoke
Watford 1-0 West Brom
Leicester 1-1 Bournemouth
Swansea 4-1 West Ham 👍

West Brom's woes continue, Dramatic 97th minute equaliser by Mahrez for Leicester.

Liverpool v Newcastle to come today.

 

[Dennisch]

97th minute

This is something typical for the Premier league. So much extra time. You hardly see that in the other leagues.

 

[Famine]

Birmingham sack Cotterill.

And I'd think Luhukay is looking over his shoulder after that pap today.

 

[Crazy Taylor]

Going to be tough for them. Many teams get relegated when they sack 2 managers.

 

[jontikis]

Dramatic 97th minute equaliser by Mahrez for Leicester.

Indeed, it was pandemonium. The whole Leicester bench almost got into the pitch to celebrate.

 

[m8h3r]

Didn't watch the game and my football app didn't help but was the 7 minutes within reason?

 

[Crazy Taylor]

Saying Davide Astori has passed away aged 31. Was fiorentina captain. Fior was due to play udinese today. Sad when someone goes too soon.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Very sad to hear about Davide Astori, 31 is definitely no age to go.

Brighton 2-1 Arsenal, goals from Dunk and Murray with Aubameyang getting Arsenal's reply, Great day for Brighton who are now seven points clear of relegation, What else can you say about Arsenal and Wenger??

Man City v Chelsea up next.

Deffinitely time for wenger to go. 9 points behind chelsea. Probably still getting in europe. Got to win europa. Not contenders in the league anymore

 

[Jimlaad43]

Wenger should have left after winning the FA Cup last season. Leave on a high. However, he's now dragging his reputation down with the team. This extra season was a major mistake.

 

[yas]

He should've left after the first FA of those three... The last few years are lost time.

Anyway Arsenal supporters now chanting "you're nothing special, we lose every week" at Brighton is something new

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Man City 1-0 Chelsea, B Silva strike 30 seconds after half time, All Man City, Chelsea aren't really doing anything....quite boring to watch.

Thonk arsenal fans deserve a bit of crap. Always moaning, never happy. Theyre like liverpool fans of a few years ago. Gotta go through crap to come out smelling of roses.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Just finished 1-0 to City.

Chelsea were awful, did next to nothing they just sat back and let City have the ball, zero shots on target by them, Neville on commentary called their performance unacceptable and rightly so, the only reason City didn't score more is because they were in second gear for 90% of the game themselves, rubbish game overall.

Yep, two Sundays in a row of absolute trash served up from a top Premier League team, first Arsenal in the League Cup Final and now this "effort" from Chelsea today was maybe even worse. It's not a shameful thing to lose to Man City when they are on top form (first half on Thursday for example) but they are hardly that at the moment, they are just cruising through games without any effort because their opponents hardly put up at fight at all and seem happy to just not get hammered, it's pathetic.

Yet more money keeps on getting spent on the TV rights when the quality is getting worse and millions keep on watching anyway waiting for the odd moment of excitement, basically we are all suckers.

 

[Famine]

Birmingham sack Cotterill.

And appoint Garry Monk...

 

[Jezza819]

Is there a possibility of retroactive punishment for that hit on Schelotto by Kolasinac?

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Third Championship job in less than a year for Monk??

Palace v United tomorrow, I don't really like the trip to relegation threatened teams, they are tricky games, potential banana skin match as Palace are fighting at the bottom.

Is there a possibility of retroactive punishment for that hit on Schelotto by Kolasinac?

Yeah there is, its up to the FA if they want to take a look at it though, it also depends on what action the referee took afterwards, didn't Kolasinac get booked?

He didn't get booked for the hit. He got booked earlier in the game at 28' I think for arguing with the ref.

They postponed all of the Serie A matches yesterday because of this. Very sad.

Also paying tribute when italy meet england at wembley this month.

 

[Touring Mars]

Third Championship job in less than a year for Monk??

Couldn't help but laugh at the bit where it says "Birmingham City have appointed Garry Monk as their new manager on a three-and-a-half-year deal."

What are the chances of him completing that contract?

-

As for Arsene Wenger, it's not looking too good for him - at least Arsenal are still in the Europa League, and will likely qualify for next year's tournament as well, but they are just one more defeat away from matching their biggest number of Premier League losses in a season under Wenger's management (11, 2005-06 season) and need to score 22 points in the last 9 games of the season this year to avoid their lowest points total under Wenger (which is currently 67 (also 2005-2006 season). Last season's 5th place was his worst finish in the Premier League and at this rate they will be lucky to avoid doing worse this season.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Fiorentina have renewed Davide Astori's contract for life, his salary will go to his wife and two-year old daughter.

What an amazing gesture! 👍
