Who are the ad wizards who decided to put Brighton and Watford on big NBC?

You think NBC wanted that game in this time slot? They get whatever the EPL puts at 5:30 BST time slot.

Yes, yes.  Who in the EPL decided this should be the Saturday night primetime showcase?  Better?

[Jive Turkey 12743]

I’ve got Palace v. Brentford on the Cock right now. CP is my second team after Liverpool. Got some cat named Gallagher on loan from Chelsea. He may have something. But I am fascinated by Brentford. Hopefully this is fun.

I'm sure it's similar to the NFL where they try to give everyone a primetime game...week 2 seems like a fine spot for this game to get it out of the way

Ingsy!

[RamjetFDO 10604]

What. A. Goal.

Danny Ings with a first half stoppage goal from a textbook bicycle kick.

Villa Park is rocking!

[Zepol87 9263]

That was badass

[Buzzrock 15029]

Hot damn Villa

[utee94 15897]

WOW.  That was awesome.

Probably the same as last year. Dude never actually plays. Always has a strained pussy. 

[RamjetFDO 10604]

Clear penalty. Arm wide and away.

El Goalsy with the clinical finish.

2-nil to the Villa.

[Hagbard Celine 11007]

happy ramjet

[sidis 9858]

Jeeeesus. DCL had a great Pk but has missed two layup goals one-on-one. 

[mdmost 43321]

Leeds/Everton tied up with 20 to go on a nice strike from Raphinha. 

[RamjetFDO 10604]

Emi just took him out.

Should've been a penalty to Toon, but VAR sez "not so fast my friend".

[RamjetFDO 10604]

... and The Holte End singing (to the tune of kumbaya):

VAR, my friend, VAR!
VAR, my friend, VAR!

Ohhhh lorrrrd, V! A !R!

Norwich 2 games | 0 points | -8 GD

Newly promoted Norwich should feel hard done by the schedule makers. First two matches against Liverpool and Man City. 
 

Don’t get me wrong, it’s awesome for me that Liverpool and City rolled them, but still.

Thanks for Buendia though.

They don't have the talent to play so open in the EPL.

FWIW, I'm in favor of more lenient offside calls (and in this case, it probably doesn't make a difference in the result) but that's offside. 

 

[mdmost 43321]

Southampton up 1-0 at the start of the 2nd half against who I think are the soccer version of the LA Rams. 

[Hagbard Celine 11007]

great wolves defending

Pretty sure those lines need to be parallel to the 18 yard box line.  With that being said he does look offside if you just look at the box line.

Arsenal is probably more apropos, same owner and all.

Umm, who drew those offside lines?

redraw those lines accurately and that is a good ‘let them play’ non-call.

Chelsea with Lukaku might be unbeatable

Kante needs to get healthy for us to be a serious problem against top sides. Lukaku helps a lot though. Having a 9 that can actually hold the ball up is a revelation. 

And we score again as I'm typing that... but this Arsenal team is a bit of a mess.

Damn, they made that 2nd goal look easy

[mdmost 43321]

Going to be a long day for Arsenal. 

[Cheeseweasel 26438]

Arteta doesn’t make it to Christmas.

That’s what I’m fearing. Their depth is ridiculous. And they have a manager who knows what he is doing. 

[Cheeseweasel 26438]

That’s a pen. 

[yoladu 4170]

I wonder why Southampton didn’t go for Lukaku. 
 

They needed a new striker. Total failure of the scouting department.

Arsenal gets City next.

Arsenal are severely lacking in elite talent.

So when does Arteta get sacked?

City next, then Norwich and Burnley, then Spurs at home.  Maybe if they lose to Spurs?

Those relegation battle, bottom of the table 6 pointers are tough. 

[ztejas 43752]

Chelsea had 16 shots on target today. 

Actually I don't think that's right... NBC was displaying that but it isn't matching up elsewhere.

End of the season.  I don’t see them doing it mid season. Partly because, who do they get next?  Is there a decent replacement available?
