The Official 2018/19 Premier League Thread

Tomorrow is now HUGE.

Stress is a bitch!

 

[johnola]

It’s a fantastic effort from Liverpool to be four points ahead of City at Christmas.

 

[Nigeyman]

Wow some surprising results today...

A door is ajar, hope we can step through it.

 

[DeanoAustin]

Stress is a bitch!

Wasn’t life easier under Gerry, Pleaty, Livermore and Hoddle when we were mid table every year? fudge Poch anyway, I hope he goes to United and we can go back to being stress free from around February.

United look like a different team already

United look like a different team already

Cardiff have been poor.

 

[JerusalemMan]

Foothold back.

Again I have conflict. I love watching Man Utd lose/play badly but so doing will only increase the frenzy and chatter and snide chipping at Spurs to talk down us as a club and sell the Pochettino move to Manchester.
But right now, what's the alternative? Wanting them to win and play well so Solksjaer has a minor chance of a longer-term appointment?

 

[Kandi1977]

Mourinho or Solskjær, Pogba is still brick.

 

[MKSpur]

United look like a different team already

New manager bounce. And Cardiff

 

[Cochise]

They will play tougher opponents. With that said, they've got a great run of fixtures over the Christmas period with Huddersfield next. By the time they play us in January their tails are gonna be up, which might suit us as it was the same with Chelsea.

 

[Kandi1977]

This is what happens when players are released from the Mourinho restraining jacket.

 

[Kandi1977]

Cheeky bid?

Even a blind chicken finds seeds occasionally.

 

[Mikey10]

Robbie Savage really is an utter clam. Giving it the full ’Poch has to go to Utd’ on 606.

Twunt.

 

[Rorschach]

I wonder did Mou watch the match.

 

[nayenezgani]

It's Cardiff though... Worst team in the league by a stretch

 

[Lemonade Money]

New manager bounce vs worst team in the league + players eager to prove Mourinho wrong = only going to end one way.

Uncanny. 3 seasons ago we play the best football I have seen from us and come across a freak season from Leicester.
2 seasons ago we amass enough pts to have won the title in several of previous seasons, but come cross an impressive Chelsea team with no European football
Last season we have City breaking all records
And now even after our best start to a season after 19 games since 1961 we are still 6pts off top because LFC have had the 4th? Best start in history

We tend to finish the season stronger and Liverpool are the only team in recent history to be top at Christmas at not win the league. (Twice). Keep the faith!

Surprised more aren’t talking about Townsend’s goal. Absolutely clamed the ball. Unreal goal!!

He's no Danny Rose.
