The Official 2017/18 Premier League Thread

Italian mentality.

Not sure if you can call It lucky either when they’ve essentially done the same thing for the last 13 years.

Nice effort Silva

 

[Jurgen the German]

For as long as I can remember I’ve heard Emirates Marketing Project fans say they have the biggest fan base in Manchester. How can that be true? Their stadium is never full

 

[Daisuk]

This City side is making Chelski look like schoolboys. For how long can they hold on?

I didn't mention 'lucky'.
Just that Conte will keep it tight an try a nick it.

No no I did. But some would call them lucky if they nicked a point today.

Got ya,
Should be one down already!

 

[Rorschach]

Sane is a fantastic player

 

[Kandi1977]

My word that's an awful finish from Bernardo!

 

[DeleHarry]

What a win for Chris and Brighton.

On 34 points with 9 games to go.

A win and a couple of draws should see them safe.

Hopefully they are safe before they play us on 20 April......3 of their last 4 games are Spurs, Man Utd at home and Liverpool away

 

[Jordinho]

When has Henry not talking been a bad thing?

The clue is IN Manchester. United fill up theirs with tourists

He really is. If we could have one player from City, I'm tempted to say Sane.

You can't cook the books charging the prices it would take to fill the stadium with locals.

Hard choice

 

[Daisuk]

Hard choice

Haha, true. Him or De Bruyne would be nice.

 

[PochettinoPochettinoPochettino]

What. A. Boring. Game.

 

[mudshark]

Biggest concern Chelsea have is they can't get close enough to the City box to make it worth their while diving. Having to resort to flopping and floundering about around the centre circle.

If that was the case they would have no problem filling the ground every week then. Manchester is the 3rd biggest city in England and they only have two teams. They didn’t even fill their ground before they increased the capacity.

Sane is a fantastic player

Yes, I think this is what inspired this comment from the BBC live text commentary:

So Leroy Sane can miscontrol a ball.

To be fair, it was not an easy one for him to try and bring under control as Bernardo Silva hit a pass high and all the way across the width of the pitch but the ball bounced off Sane's foot and out for a throw.
