The Official 2016/17 Premier League Thread

[BrainOfLevy]

Can we all stop panicking. city and United have won 2 games against teams that will be mid table and that is not unexpected. City won something like the first 6 games last season didn't they? And would supposedly be a scary proposition having spent 100M on Sterling and Dr Bruyne. Fat lot of good it did them because by the time they played us we wiped the floor with them at the Lane.

atletico Madrid contend every year with the two clubs richer than them trying to buy their way to another League title. Every year they are challenging, In Europe and at home. We can do similar. Not saying United and City won't be up there this year but it doesn't mean we are consigned back to top 6 also rans either.

It's sort of droll listening to the commentators looking for Caballero mistakes and wanting to praise Hart in his absence.

 

[scaramanga]

Yes. Think it could be another 20 years before a team has a season like Leicester did,

More like 80 or 100.

What's that, 5 goals conceded in 135 mins for Liverpool.
Nice.

How many times is Costa going to get away with brick!? Should have been off again

Being targeted by the refs you know.

 

[Yiddo]

You will know how good Liverpool are when they lose their next game.

Hmmmmm

 

[Rorschach]

The Leicester pitch is mowed in a lovely pattern.

I see Leicester's tactics haven't changed. Put the ball into the box, appeal for a penalty.

 

[Rorschach]

Thought that was pen in real time

 

[Robbo]

Not even two full rounds, and every team exept Palace have both scored and conceeded goals.

 

[scaramanga]

No 88th minute penalty for Leicester. Looks like the luck finally ran out.

 

[thfcsteff]

i think that was a pen for Mousa.

 

[scaramanga]

i think that was a pen for Mousa.

If they were playing anyone other than the goons I don't think I'd want it given. He was looking for it

 

[Jordinho]

Well that was a big yawn.

It's a bit before my time but wasn't Derby County winning the league back in 1972 a similarly surprising upset of the status quo?

Nailed on. Ref couldn't have been closer.

It was a huge upset but I don't think there's been one as big as Leicester in living memory in this country.

3 points for us, created plenty of chances from what I heard on the radio. Meanwhile, Liverpool lose to Burnley and the goons and Leicester only get a point. A shame about those qunts Chelsea, I am gonna take a huge dislike to C*nte.

Overall, a good days football!
