Premier League Thread 2019/20

[simFox]

Man city fans leaving early will have heard the roar, frantically checking their phones expecting 1-1.... Oh bollocks....

 

Brilliant.

Didn’t Liverpool have a decent lead last season and threw it away; still 30 games to go 

The bigger the gap, the more it'll start playing on their minds.

 

Early doors.

Watching Liverpool blow this big lead over the next seven months should be fun

We can only hope!

Even this early on, it is Liverpool's to lose. They've lost 1 in 47 in the league, they need to lose three just to be caught.

 

 

[kingfox]

We're gonna finish 2nd 

[rachhere]

Wow... Hard to see anyone but Liverpool winning this year.

 

Top 4 still for us with some great fixtures coming up

I’m still hurting from yesterday,but they Hardly threw it away.They only dropped 17 points all season .

To put it into perspective the bottom 5 have already done that.

Yeah they'll win it this time. And comfortably imo

[SouthStandUpperTier]

I think the funniest thing about this weekend is that Sky and BT chose not to show the Liv/Lei and ManC/Wolves games.

Unbelievable - what a clown shoe performance by Man City 

[That_Dude]

If ManU win at Newcastle that's my weekend ruined for good.

I don't see why not. It's not even an unrealistic statement.

 

Unlucky to not get the point at Anfield and you guys will only get better as the season goes on.

 I detest the regime that owns Man C  & will be happy to see Liverpool win the title. 

[fox_up_north]

Traore in my fantasy team was a cheap stab in the dark. Oh my, how he has paid off.

 

On topic - we've seen teams drop big points leads before so I'm not anticipating Liverpool will keep it up indefinitely.

[Jonezy]

Seems like we played Chelsea away at the right time. Quite exciting team with them forced to use their young players. 

 

It does look like Liverpool's season, but it is only October and a lot will happen. At least we are in the mix near the top 6 and we haven't really clicked yet. Its a great time to be a Leicester fan despite the frustrations of yesterday.

Pep will fold his tent at the end of the season & head to warmer places.

[TheUltimateWinner]

The only unexpected one was Wolves. This was always likely to be a weekend where teams pull us back or go ahead of us, what we've done well is win the three games we were expected to whereas others around us haven't.

I've known a team to lose a title after 8 games.

Unlikely now. The swing at the end of yesterdays game makes it an uphill task now. Had we held on it would have been a boost to our chances.

We've played 4 out of the top 6 from last year already. Agreed that yesterday's result makes it a tough task, but all it takes is a couple of results to go against liverpool which could easily happen with them being in Europe. 

 

They are a great side no doubt, but I genuinely feel like this season will open up like 2015/16 and we are the best of the rest after Man City and Liverpool to take advantage of this as we have no other commitments.

I hope so

[spacemunky]

When I hear "This is Liverpools year to win the League" I always say "And Leeds year to come up!".

 

If both were to happen at the same time, id probably regret not finishing that underground bunker I started working on years ago.
