[Buzzrock 14,920]

And the OGs continue

[SimonBolivar 10,958]

Oh you crazy Bees

[midtown 3,345]

Oh boy Klopp is going to go ballistic about a fair earned goal.  Can't wait to hear this post match whine

[Buzzrock 14,920]

Your 7th place Brentford Bees everyone. Is there a big six team who can beat them?

ummm.. not sure a team can get as high as the third spot without being flopping bitches.

[shadow_operative 15,932]

huuuuuuuge pet peeve of mine: if the ref blows the whistle on a corner/set piece it is against the attacking team 100% of the time. there is essentially no scenario where an official will call a foul on the defending team, and this leads to larger attacking players getting manhandled with no call. today it was gabriel:

im not even complaining about this particular one, because there's zero incentive for players to not do this, ipso facto to not do it would be stupid. i just hate this unspoken rule with a passion, and if the FA or UEFA would mandate calling fouls both ways in these scenarios then this shit would go away.

Finally the "the entire PL" is against ARS has kicked in.  Took long enough

[shadow_operative 15,932]

is there any way Arsenal could sign a striker like Josef Martinez on loan?

Emi back between the pipes today vs Wolves.

[RamjetFDO 10,575]

Welp. That was ugly. Wolves on the front foot almost all match so far and rewarded in the 12th.

1-nil

[RamjetFDO 10,575]

DANNY!

1-1 in the 78th.  GAME ON VILLA!  

[RamjetFDO 10,575]

Leon Bailey with a U12-level scuff of a miss after deftly going around the keeper...  FURK!

Match ends with honors even.

With today's results, Everton have entered the relegation zone.

I saw an article talking about them firing Lampard and bringing in Man U Legend Wayne Rooney.

Chelsea vs Fulham is a big game tomorrow.  Chelsea will be looking to move back into the Top 4

Spoiler

in London

 

[WBT 20,571]

Fulham up 1-0 at halftime.  Willian's demonstrably refusing to celebrate against his old team game is on point.

[Cheeseweasel 26,438]

What a debut!!!

1) What the fuck was he thinking?

2) I do like listening to French announcers.

Having taken French 1 four times (2 in high school & 2 in college) and now being relatively fluent in Spanish, I can understand a fair amount for the Français and the accent cracks me up.

I’m in a real physical league, not la liga! I can start breaking legs and only get yellows, right?

[kingkoopa6 8,350]

Yea. Dum dum. You can go in hard. Just no studs up. Everyone should know that 

Also. If you have shitty touch or lose ball no last second tackles. That’s called everytime too

If he played like that at Atletico, Simeone would have never gotten rid of him

7 PL clubs? Well, i guess Saints just got priced out!

Boom.  2 minutes.  Leon Bailey.

1-nil Villa over Leeds!

[shadow_operative 15,932]

holy crap what an alert and athletic save by Emi Maertinez.

[RamjetFDO 10,575]

EMI!  World-class save!

[shadow_operative 15,932]

this has been highly entertaining.

[RamjetFDO 10,575]

VAR giveth this time!

2-nil Villa!

[RamjetFDO 10,575]

Tyler Adams definitely showing his class for Leeds today, too.  Completely shut down what should've been a productive Villa breakaway.

[RamjetFDO 10,575]

Gonna be a nervy last 10 minutes or so ... Leeds have one back.

[RamjetFDO 10,575]

4 PL wins out of 6 under Unai...  Let's keep that momentum, boys.  #UTV.

[Bartles 769]

City have gone more than 135 minutes without a shot on goal despite 70+ percent possession. I know that's always a Pep thing (and some was playing backups in Carabao) but it's been bizarre. Not getting any kind of decent looks, and of course allowing the occasional meaty counter-attack the other way.

[Napoleon 8,679]

How about that?

Smart leave.

. . . . . . . . . . .

And how about that AGAIN?!?!

Fucking crazy!

[Cheeseweasel 26,438]

No fan of City but they got absolutely screwed by the officials. Prem refs are garbage
