I’ve watched Mudryk 3 or 4 times and he’s been shockingly bad every time.

He's been atrocious.

He just had a shot attempt that went backwards. Never seen that before.

Debut to forget for Caicedo. 

[Dutch 4465]

It’s as of Caciedo left his brain on the south coast of England. Wow. 

[SimonBolivar 10957]

Good job West Ham. Chelsea look like booboo.

Putin fucks around in Ukraine. Chelsea finds out. They look like a Fantasy team of misfit parts.

They just need a few more signings.

[Captain Ron 12862]

Is it too early to wonder when Chelsea will start looking for a new coach?

[ztejas 43411]

Man y'all are fucking hysterical. 

[Firemans4Horn 18034]

@Cheeseweasel this you?

So that's what maninblack is up to nowadays.

Last week: Keeper contact = No Pen

This week: Keeper contact = Pen.

Never change, EPL refs.

[Captain Ron 12862]

Those jerseys ... interesting.

I'm tired of the phrase "clear and obvious" and it's only week 2.

FIFY. I’ll freely admit it.

So I guess the real point of VAR is to spare your fellow PGMOL buddies embarrassment when they totally fuck up a match.

Mike Dean has admitted he failed to correct a mistake in a Chelsea v Tottenham match last season to prevent his friend Anthony Taylor receiving extra 'grief'.

“I said to Anthony afterwards: ‘I just didn’t want to send you to the screen after what has gone on in the game.’ I didn’t want to send him up because he is a mate as well as a referee and I think I didn’t want to send him up because I didn’t want any more grief than he already had.”

We suspected this all along. They are just now admitting it.

[The Maestro 750]

And no surprise it was Dean & Taylor either.

Soooo if you properly mark Sterling you shut down Chelsea....got it.

[Firemans4Horn 18034]

Luton are rough to watch. So undermanned compared to 90% of the league.

Havertz continues to suck ass. 

The fact that Chelsea found imbeciles to buy him is just shocking.

10-man Fulham just leveled with Arse in the 88th.

[sidis 9821]

We are definitely going down this year. There is no recovery…they literally are incapable of scoring.

It’s looking really bad for Everton. Unless something changes, they are screwed this year. 

[Firemans4Horn 18034]

Everton are bereft of any talent. 

[sidis 9821]

It’s cosmic at this point. For them to not get a goal out of the really good play for a lot of the game is beyond frustrating. That header should have gone in and their goalie made an unreal save on it. The late goal that had the offsides was such a pretty build up and a great finish with just bad luck on the millimeter offsides. Very frustrating but they just can’t finish.

I stopped watching because:

1) They got fucked by the ref allowing Saka to do a Sergio Ramos on Mo Salah take down and then not blowing the whistle and allowing Arsenal to svore.

and...

2) Listening to stupid English fucks announcing who are so stupid that it hurts.

With a. Fulham player on the fucking ground on the endline, but still mostly on the field AND the Fulham keeper around the 6 yard box, they weren't sure whether the attacking Arsenal player was onside or not on the 2nd goal. They felt that he was, though it may have been close...

REALLY? Are you inbred limey fucks kidding me!

How many fucking defenders do they think need to be behind the ball?

They couldn't stop talking about a guy being down on the field at the endline, but as soon as Arsenal is on the attack, they no longer can count to two!

The average English person is really so fucking stupid that it's shocking. Just permanent brain damage from birth level stupid.

Damn, I sometimes forget how hard some people took the Falkland Islands war.

If a short-handed gamewinner is the ultimate "fuck you," then I suppose a short-handed equalizer is the penultimate "fuck you."

[Hagbard Celine 10848]

that first touch to land the ball on the ground on the run and *PLACE* the shot with the next step of the other foot should be practiced by every youth side in the US

[Hagbard Celine 10848]

fulham looked like 3 points in the first half in the driving rain

a draw is a fair result

[Firemans4Horn 18034]

Michail Antonio is great to watch. So strong and works his ass off by himself most of the game. 

[Hagbard Celine 10848]

if jamaica could have found a few premish midfielders during the last cycle they would have been a real threat in concacrap but antonio is now 33 - he won't be at this level in 3 years unfortunately

[Firemans4Horn 18034]

That should be a pen. The goalie wiped him out. 

[RamjetFDO 10575]

In the "Bitch stole my look" match, Villa take the early lead over Burnley with a nice team goal in the 8th.

[RamjetFDO 10575]

An unlikely brace for Matty Cash makes it 2-nil to the Villa in the 20th.

Lovely build up.

[SimonBolivar 10957]

Diaby has been one hell of a signing. Also playing Everton, Hibs, and Burnley sure is good for confidence.

Still... a 3-1 Premiership victory is always nice.
