EPL 2017-2018

[sidis 9,823]

Umm, City is going to win. 

[Cheeseweasel 26,438]

Liverpool is sexy, but yeah. City.

 

I hate International Breaks as much as moving.

[mdmost 42,999]

Did YoLa make it over or did he choose to join Southampton and go with relegation?

[Biscuits And Groovy 21]

The relegation battle looks like it could be fun. Only 8 points between 18th and 10th.

Welcome to the party, hoping y’all stay up (although we could probably poach your talent cheaper in a fire sale

It's back this week, right!?!?

[Buzzrock 14,902]

Thank god. The off season is bad enough!

yes, and the good news is...everton has city at home.  can't see how the toffees aren't favored here.

[ConferenceRoom 6,141]

City doesn't win in Liverpool. It is known. 

[Schulz2.0 28,951]

The French media are reporting that PSG will hire Tuchel to replace Emery. Looks like he won’t be heading to Arsenal.

I just hope Newcastle can avoid being demoted again. I think they're safe, but who knows?

[Biscuits And Groovy 21]

I would like to see Newcastle stay up, and Rafa get the investment he needs to bring them back to top-10 finishes. St. James' Park is one of my favorite Premier League venues and when Newcastle is good the atmosphere there is one of if not the best in England. 

[In re UofA 29]

International breaks are the worst. 

[Biscuits And Groovy 21]

Thank god theyre ending tomorrow

[IPoopOnWhoop 104]

Palace with the early pk to take a 1-0 lead over Liverpool 

[Goo Punch 4,275]

This break felt like is lasted a month.

[Goo Punch 4,275]

Salah is a witch.

[Goo Punch 4,275]

Of course Mane should have been sent off long before the equalizer.

Or maybe just call the obvious foul

[Firemans4Horn 18,034]

Wow,

Are Soton getting relegated? They look pathetic. 

[Firemans4Horn 18,034]

One of the stupidest plays I’ve ever seen by the watford player.

David de Gea, also a witch.

All our best players play for other clubs. We are going down.

[Goo Punch 4,275]

Lukaku should have scored three times today.

[Firemans4Horn 18,034]

Nothing like a goal kick counter attack. Sane-debruyne-Jesus bang. 

[Jive Turkey 12,594]

City is clinical. They may be champions of Europe too.

Maybe, it might be also over except for 1 place and that might just be a 2 team race. The biggest problem for these teams is how they just don't get points. That's why in the 538 models right now having over 32 points pretty much saves you. Even at 30, with a game in hand Palace has some security.

 

 

[Yankee 39]

City really is on another level.

No shit. And people wonder why England sent no refs to the World Cup this year.

[Firemans4Horn 18,034]

Meh,

his first yellow card was weak and he was getting mugged prior to grabbing the ball. Swarbrick was garabage today and it wasn’t in Liverpool’s favor. 

[Firemans4Horn 18,034]

This is a wild ass game. Looks like the top 4 is set. 

[Surly Bevo 24,908]

I for one am very much looking forward to Stoke getting sent down (assuming it happens) . Kind of like wanting to be done with Sunderland last year because they are just so fucking pathetic, Stoke are just such fucking brutish louts.  

[Firemans4Horn 18,034]

538 had Chelsea’s top 4 chances at 13% before the game. They’re down to 3% currently. United, Pool, Spurs all at 99%

I don't see how Stoke stays up. They have 2 tough matches in Spurs and Liverpool, realistically leaving them with 4 matches to find the points to get out of the hole, and with only 1 against a bottom 4 team, they need help.

BTW - here are the run-ins for the bottom 6. I picked these because they are the teams that are 3 points within relegation.

                    4/7-4/8         4/14-4/16       4/17-4/23       4/28-4/30       5/5             5/13            PPD

Thank god for the relegation battle or the end of the season might be rather boring.

Maybe. But we could see it turn into a snoozer in the next two weeks. The bottom 3 have some tough games that could push them deep into the hole.

in Southampton's 3 key 6-point matches before this difficult run-in above, they earned 1 point, scoring just once.

Stoke 0-0

Newcastle 3-0

WestHam 3-0

they deserve to go down.

Unless it involves a shock bigger named club, I can never gather much interest at all in the relegation fight. Most of the time it is just terrible, boring football and I am rooting for all the teams to go down.

[Schulz2.0 28,951]

Pardew leaves West Brom “by mutual consent.”

[Captain Ron 12,866]

Is that what we call losing 9 straight?

The win this weekend was helpful I’m that regard

[mdmost 42,999]

I'd rather Southampton not be the 3rd team to go down but some clubs need the cleansing fire of relegation to eventually get turned around. Or you could plummet like a rock into the abyss like Sunderland or Wigan. 

[Captain Ron 12,866]

 

[ConferenceRoom 6,141]

Couldn't happen to a better cunt. 

[Captain Ron 12,866]

So who replaces Pardew?  From a quote by maninblack on SB:

Quote

Roy Hodgson - West Brom

David Moyes - Everton

Sam Allardyce - Crystal Palace

Alan Pardew - West Ham

Shuffle

Roy Hodgson - Crystal Palace

David Moyes - West Ham

Sam Allardyce - Everton

Alan Pardew - West Brom

Also

 

 

So look at this list for the replacement.
