Haha, did we allow Arsenal to put another man on the field?

That was cool how Emerson didn't kick the ball out with Tammy obviously needing a sub.

It's also cool how our entire midfield forgot how to be positionally sound on defense and were just running around like they didn't know what the fuck to do.

And how our record signing gk made an routine save.

London is PURPLE.

arsenal smash and grab - 2 shots - 2 goals

big result for arsenal regardless of points

heard arlo say "character" here at the end

[MoJames 8257]

Hell Chelsea was the only reason I was considering signing up for a streaming service once PS Vue dies, with Shaka still in charge and Chelsea playing like buffoons, looks like I can save some money.

Martinelli and Saka down that left side have been great since being called upon. What a shift each of them put in. And then Bellerin, with the left foot, from outside the box; wow. Musti gonna Musti, but the resolve to come back twice while being down a man for over an hour was awesome. Arteta in.

Kepa really does remind me of Mignolet.

After watching the game, I sat and tried to think of something he does really well.  I couldn't think of anything.  He's supposed to be great with the ball at his feet, but even that he managed to fuck up twice during the past two games.

i saw recently that he was rated something like 3rd from the bottom in all of Europe's top leagues in some GK rating or another. his save % is hilariously bad, and apparently he isn't good at much else either.

[Firemans4Horn 18344]

Not sure if their scouting department just simmed out Football Manager 2018 8+ years and he came out on top more often than not. And then having to pay a ridiculous Basque premium to sign him from Bilbao. Terrible.

Ole's getting sacked in the morning...

[Firemans4Horn 18344]

Lol United. Lol. 

[MoJames 8257]

Another great stat for Kepa.

Southampton are 3 points from being tied for 5th.

This is the craziest table ever.

[Longhornfan1024 1707]

I'd like to thank Man U for helping us gain a point on 5th place even though we completely fucked up our past two games.

and yet, i don't feel safe from relegation! Anyone else think there might be a relegated team on 40 or more points this season?

there is a lot more equity in the league this year (sans one team). I can't decide if the small clubs have gotten better or the big clubs have gotten worse.

because i was curious, i went back to the last 5 season tables to look at the point separation between the 5th place and 19th place team at matchweek 24

19/20 - 5th place : 34 points | 19th place : 23 points - difference 9 points

18/19 - 5th place : 47 points | 19th place : 17 points - difference 30 points

17/18 - 5th place : 45 points | 19th place : 20 points - difference 25 points

16/17 - 5th place : 46 points | 19th place : 19 points - difference 27 points

15/16 - 5th place : 40 points | 19th place : 19 points - difference 21 points

 

19th place Watford is 9 points from being tied for 5th. What 19th place team could say that 2/3s into the season in the past?

[Firemans4Horn 18344]

11 points

a lot of the reason is that 50% of the “top 6” has been dogshit for the last 12 months. 

[yoladu 4172]

i am bad at the maths.

Victor Moses is off to Inter on loan in case anyone was wondering where Victor Moses was going to be loaned to next.

So the Saudi Arabian Sovereign Wealth Fund is in talks to buy Newcastle per the WSJ and SkySports.

Some prince that multiple people said didn't have the money required. He had also tried buying Liverpool before John Henry.

Pogba money pissed away.

[Firemans4Horn 18344]

I think it was a needed purchase by United. With pogba out/gone they had no one in the midfield that could progress the ball up the field and field their forwards. 2019-20 version of Lingard and Pereria are dogshit.

Yeah the up to 88mil is nuts...last night i saw it was 55mil

Good for sporting...

I'm not sure what the £20.7M in add-ons includes but a base price of £46.4M isn't that bad for Bruno in today's market.

"Play 1 more game than Pogba"

[Captain Ron 12979]

Liverpool is on the verge of locking up top 4 spot. The teams "tied" at 5th place are United, Spurs and Wolves all at 34 points. With 14 games left, that means max points for them is 76 points. Liverpool sits at 70.

Next Matchday (25):
Liverpool v Soton
United v Wolves
Spurs v Man City

Matchday 26:
Norwich City v Liverpool
Wolves v Leicester City
Aston Villa v Spurs
Chelsea v United

Pretty tough schedule for everyone else, Liverpool conceivably lock up Champions League with 2 wins.

[Firemans4Horn 18344]

Gorgeous header by Rudiger for his second of the day. 

[Firemans4Horn 18344]

Wow that ball by Vardy was incredible. Barnes missed a great chance to take the lead. 

[Jive Turkey 12789]

Leicester should be up. Two golden chances missed. 

[Jive Turkey 12789]

No goals but this Man City/Tottenham game has been crazy. 

[Jive Turkey 12789]

Ok. Tottenham with a man advantage for 30 minutes.
